Twisted Pictures to handle 'Texas' franchise

There is a slight chance we will be seeing a whole lot of "Texas Chainsaw Massacre" films in the near future. The reason: Twisted Pictures is close to take over the franchise and start with a new "Texas" flick.

Twisted Pictures, of course, handles the "Saw" films with Lionsgate, and the production house is close to release the sixth installment already with "Saw VI," due in theaters Oct. 23, 2009.

Variety says Twisted will be developing a 3D "Texas Chainsaw Massacre" flick, with Stephen Susco ("The Grudge") on board to write the script. My guess is we'll be seeing a lot more if it succeeds financially.

Brody, Chiklis go back to high school

Adrien Brody and Michael Chiklis are packing for “High School,” an indie comedy directed by John Stalberg Jr., according to Variety.

The film focuses on a high school genius forced to take a drug test after he gets high with the school’s stoner. But being the clever guy he is, he plans to get the whole school stoned so everybody will fail the test.

The trade says Brody will star as a drug dealer, with Chiklis playing the school principal.

Stalberg Jr. is directing a script he co-wrote with Stephen Susco (“The Grudge” and “The Grudge 2”). Filming is scheduled to kick off soon in Detroit.

Brody was last seen in “The Darjeeling Limited.” Next up is Rian Johnson’s comedy “The Brothers Bloom,” which also stars Rachel Weisz and Mark Ruffalo.

As for Chiklis, he’s currently onscreen in D.J. Caruso’s “Eagle Eye.”
