The Netflix sequel requel legacy what have you gets off on the right foot.
The article you are about to read is an account of the voiceover gig which befell a young unknown actor in particular John Larroquette. It is all the more remarkable in that he was young. But had he lived a very, very long life which he has he could not have expected to be once again narrating as much of the mad and macabre as he was to narrate that day. For him a one day VO job became a legacy.
The recording that day would lead to two other voiceover jobs opening three of the most bizarre films in the annals of American cinema The Texas Chain Saw Massacre. Thats right he has back. New Chainsaw 2022 director David Blue Garcia tells Variety and not us about hiring original Texas Chain Saw Massacre narrator John Larroquette to lend his solemn tongue to the new hotness.
It felt important to honor the original TCM at every opportunity Johns voice is iconic in the original opening and we thought it would help set the perfect tone in our own intro. Its also a subtle way of letting the fans know they are in good hands. Pretty clever Garcia Larroquettes opening to the 1974 film is sacred text level stuff. I assume he also did fine in the 2003 remake. Trying to bottle that mojo for your ninth Leatherface movie is just good business. So far so good.
