Alexandra Daddario to play lead in TEXAS CHAINSAW MASSACRE 3D

Movie by

Alexandra Daddario (Percy Jackson & The Olympians) is in final talks to star as the female lead in Texas Chainsaw Massacre 3D, Variety reports. The film will be directed by John Luessenhop (Takers) iand is set to take place after Tobe Hooper's original 1974 horror classic. The script was penned by Adam Marcus and Debra Sullivan, and polished by Kirsten Elms and Luessenhop.

Massacre 3D is being produced by Carl Mazzocone and exec produced by Avi Lerner and Mark Burg. The goal is for the film to help launch a new fright franchise featuring the iconic, chainsaw-loving villain Leatherface and his oddball family. Production is set to start later this month in Shreveport, Louisiana, in order to meet it's Oct. 5, 2012 scheduled release date. 

Daddario recently appeared on USA's White Collar and in the Farrelly Bros.' Hall Pass. She is expected to reprise the role of Annabeth Chase in Percy Jackson & the Olympians: Sea of Monsters. I think that this will be an interesting film for the 3D medium. It will likely be the best horror film that has used 3D to date. What are your thoughts on this news?
