That’s not going to happen with this film.
#Texas chain saw massacre saturn movie
I see so many new movie makers in dire situations of compromise… Situations that they (the filmmakers) allow to happen. It’s a promising situation and so far they seem like the right people to work with. I created a short film titled “On the Road to South Texas” for the purpose of pitching the project to them. How close are you to shooting? Do you have all the financing and everything?ĬG: I have been talking with a legitimate production company (about STB) since September of 07. Once Tobe reaches the top, his body is bathed by the rays of the golden sunset (from the other side) and the blue begins to completely dissolve from his body. Some of the putrid blues make it to the top of the wall but are swiftly shot through the head by the guards. The putrid creatures claw at him as he scales the wall to the top. Tobe fights his way (cigar in mouth) to the base of the wall. From out of the murky crowd comes Tobe wearing streaks of blue from head to toe.Įven his cigar and Panama hat are blue. Voluptuous blue actresses carry (normal looking) headshots and expose themselves to the wall. On the other side is a murky dark blue circle of hell with one hundred or so vicious creatures called the “putrid blue artists.” They foam at the mouth, have razor sharp fangs, blue skin, black hair, and the blackest eyes. Selznick meets Shangri –la except for the heavily armed guards. On one side of the wall is a cliché paradise right out of the most extravagant 1930s Hollywood movie set. That particular scene (visually) will be represented by one very long twelve-foot-high (guarded) brick wall. It’s hard to bring the two camps together because they’re always fighting for different goals.” It’s a fantasy sequence titled (in the script) “Beyond the Blue Wall.” Tobe’s line from the script (that he reads in narration during the scene) is: ”It’s a wall that separates the artists who suffer from the blues from the industry that despises them. There’s a specific scene in STB that emphatically represents the title. VERN: First of all, could you explain what SOUTH TEXAS BLUES is?ĬHRISTOHPER GARETANO: SOUTH TEXAS BLUES represents the struggling artist’s state of mind. Maybe we’ll check in with him again when he’s further down the road. So I got him to answer a few questions about it. But he seems pretty tenacious and I know I’m hoping to watch this movie some day. I have no idea how good a movie that could be, or whether this guy can pull it off, or even if he will end up getting it finished. I tried to get him to describe the movie in his own words, but as you will see he got a little abstract there, so you might want to check out this little featurette he made to explain the idea to investors: The movie is called SOUTH TEXAS BLUES, and the director is named Christopher Garetano. Not a documentary, but a drama, a re-enactment, I guess like BAADASSSS! or SHADOW OF THE VAMPIRE, minus the vampire. Nice try.Īnyway, I was intrigued when I heard that one of us obsessives is trying to make a movie about Tobe Hooper and friends actually shooting THE TEXAS CHAIN SAW MASSACRE.
You are probably staring right at us right now and you can’t even see us. We have the power to blend in with our surroundings. We are everywhere, but you will not notice us. I run into others like me every once in a while. I’ve read the book about how it was made, I’ve watched the documentaries, I took the fuckin remake personally like somebody had broken into my apartment and smeared shit all over the walls.īut I’m not the only one. I watch it over and over and I still keep noticing things I hadn’t before. I consider it one of the all time great American independent films. You might not have noticed this, but I’m obsessed with THE TEXAS CHAIN SAW MASSACRE.
