Downton Abbey: The Grand Finale ends up feeling like a wasted opportunity by being about as predictable as you can get for a series like this.
While we wait for their Friday the 13th television series “Crystal Lake,” Deadline reports tonight that A24 is also boarding the iconic Texas Chain Saw Massacre franchise!
Deadline’s report confirms a scoop previously broken by The Insneider.
The rights had been up for auction, with multiple interested parties around Hollywood, and the site’s sources have indicated that A24 is close to winning film and television rights.
Deadline also reports, “First up would be a series from JT Mollner, Roy Lee and Glen Powell, though the latter will not star as we previously told you.”
“Apparently, the deal hasn’t closed yet, but A24 has pole position,” Deadline makes sure to note in tonight’s report. “Another source close to the action tells us that this is all premature, but it’s clear that the genre label behind Hereditary isn’t letting this one go.”
The outlet also mentions that Roy Lee has expressed interest in making another Texas Chainsaw Massacre film for Netflix, which could still happen with A24 boarding the property.
The rights to The Texas Chain Saw Massacre are represented by Verve, with other interested parties in recent months including Jordan Peele, Osgood Perkins, and Taylor Sheridan.
It’s now been three years since Netflix premiered Texas Chainsaw Massacre, a “legacy sequel” to Tobe Hooper’s original horror classic that arrived on February 18, 2022.

Briarcliff Entertainment has unveiled the official trailer for animated feature film Stitch Head, described as “Frankenstein meets Monsters, Inc..”
The family adventure is getting a wide theatrical release just in time for Halloween on October 29, 2025.
Stitch Head is based on the first story in author Guy Bass’s book series, now six books deep, and “brings to life a quirky, heartwarming tale full of monster mayhem, unexpected friendships, and cinematic thrills.”
It follows the story of a small, forgotten creature living in a long-abandoned castle. Awoken by a Mad Professor, Stitch Head is tasked with protecting the professor’s other wildly inventive creations from the suspicious townspeople of Grubbers Nubbin.
In the brand new trailer below, first shared by Collider, the forgotten creatures unite to save Stitch Head when he ventures out into the town on his own.
Directed by and adapted for the screen by Steve Hudson, the voice cast includes Asa Butterfield (Flux Gourmet, Choose or Die), Joel Fry (In the Earth, Cruella), Alison Steadman (“Inside No. 9“), Rob Brydon (Barbie), Fern Brady, Tia Bannon, and Jamali Maddix.
“Stitch Head is Frankenstein meets Monsters, Inc., an inspired blend of spooky, funny, and heartwarming storytelling with visually stunning animation by Assemblage Entertainment that will captivate audiences of all ages,” said Tom Ortenberg, CEO of Briarcliff Entertainment. “We’re thrilled to bring families together for a one-of-a-kind experience.”
Guy Collins, Chairman of GFM Animation, added, “Stitch Head is a delightful & funny family film and a terrific credit to the work of Steve, Sonja, Mark, and the whole team. Bringing on board a brilliant U.S distributor such as Tom is one of the final pieces of the puzzle, and we are confident that we are on track to deliver a global hit.”
The PG-rated, family-friendly Gothic tale has a 91-minute runtime.
Producers include Sonja Ewers and Mark Mertens. Executive producers include Adam Nagle, Mark Rau, Guy Collins, Tom Ortenberg, Ronnie Exley, Jeremy Ross, and Oli Strong.

Sorry, Jurassic World Rebirth, but Primitive War is easily the wildest dinosaur movie to come out in 2025. Here’s how you can catch the dino-flick at home.
One of the horror films premiering at Fantastic Fest later this month is Paramount’s Primate from their horror label 18hz Productions, the latest from director Johannes Roberts (47 Meters Down, The Strangers: Prey at Night, Resident Evil: Welcome to Raccoon City).
The upcoming movie’s plot description has been vague to this point, promising a “primal tale of horror and survival,” but Bloody Disgusting can confirm ahead of the Fantastic Fest World Premiere that Primate is a killer chimp horror movie, and we’re also hearing from sources that the film will make heavy use of old school practical effects for its rabies-infected chimp.
Here’s the full synopsis for Primate…
“Home from college, Lucy reunites with family including pet chimp Ben. Ben contracts rabies during a pool party and turns aggressive. Lucy and friends barricade in pool, devising ways to survive the vicious chimp.”
Primate releases in theaters January 9, 2026, and we’ve been hearing that it’s a gory crowd-pleaser that should kick off next year on a high note for the horror genre. Stay tuned for Meagan Navarro’s review out of Fantastic Fest next week, right here on Bloody Disgusting.
Johannes Roberts co-wrote the screenplay for Primate with Ernest Riera. The horror movie stars Johnny Sequoyah and Oscar®-winning Troy Kotsur (CODA).
Walter Hamada is producing Primate, part of a new horror pact with Paramount.
Fantastic Fest is back this year for its milestone 20th anniversary from September 18-25. Primate‘s West Coast premiere will later be taking place at Beyond Fest in Los Angeles.
