Watched the pitch and I don't know if the story entirely makes sense. I think the multiverse idea is fine, but it's the aspect of it running parallel with original movie and leading up to the opening kill. I'm not sure if all of that tracks -- why have it run parallel with the original? Why tease it's somewhat of a generational story, but it's not like the other Leatherfaces are siblings and/or part of the Sawyer family either (at the same time) or great relatives. Why not just let it be its own thing? How does any of that make sense? Why can't it just be a weird pocket thing in space and time where all the Leatherfaces exist at the same time in a slaughterhouse? Simple as that.
Obviously it's not that deep, but to go in depth on it, I'd expect a little more coherency in that narrative. In addition, it's mentioned several times it's the Sawyers slaughterhouse, but not every iteration of Leatherface and his family have the last name Sawyer. Things like that, as a fan, kinda bug me lol
I think this will be...okay. He offhand mentioned he's been chasing trying to recreate something as scary to be in as "Back in Business." Yes, it's the 50th anniversary of the original, but why not just...actually repeat Back in Business? I'd say 95% of the fans have not seen that version and have heard the stories about how great it was. Guess we have to wait "four more years."
