Texas Chainsaw Massacre 2022 Director Teases Original Lead Sally's Story
Texas Chainsaw Massacre 2022 director David Blue Garcia teases original lead Sally Hardesty's story for the new direct sequel. Marilyn Burns first brought the character of Sally to life in 1974's The Texas Chainsaw Massacre as a free-spirited young woman who ventures through the titular state to investigate her grandfather's grave after learning of a series of grave robberies in the area. In the process, Sally and her friends cross paths with Leatherface and his cannibalistic family and most end up dead, save for Sally who escapes in the back of a passing pickup truck.
Following the passing of Marilyn Burns in 2014, Olwen Fouéré has picked up the role of Sally for the new Texas Chainsaw Massacre. The film picks up 50 years after the events of the original film as she lives near the small town of Harlow and learns of Leatherface's reemergence, heading to the small town in an effort to put the brutal killer in the grown once and for all. With Sally now officially back on screen for Texas Chainsaw Massacre, those behind the film are offering some insight into the final girl's return and where she's been in the time since.
