BREAKING: Two people have climbed to the top of the Empire State Building in New York City, holding a banner from the skyscraper's antenna reading, "When the power of love beats the love of power, the world knows peace."
As of now it's unclear how the pair reached the top of the building as police work to get them down from the spire, 1,454 feet above the ground.
Curry Barker on his upcoming 'Texas Chainsaw Massacre' movie for A24 ⛓️
"I want to make a new generation of people scared and give them this feeling of: 'What if you went on a road trip with your friends and this happened to you?' I want to capture the rawness and the grounded-ness of the original"
"I wouldn’t be interested if I didn’t think I could find a way in that feels fresh and new, while still respecting the original. The canon itself is all over the place, so there’s not much to stay loyal to other than the original"
He watched all 10 films in the franchise to prepare for developing it:
"Some of those movies just turn out to be a guy with a chainsaw chasing a person around. It doesn’t work to just have a chase movie. They’re hiding in a barn. It gets old. And I don’t buy it — a chainsaw is loud but they don’t hear it? I hate when you’re watching a movie and you’re thinking, “Just do this [instead]"

The Texas Chain Saw Massacre is a prime example of how something can be gothic without it being set in a European castle with bats and ghosts. This is “the old, dark house” trope, just inverted to reflect an 70s American aesthetic. Broad daylight, blazing sun, just as scary.
Melissa Barrera says the people who "accused me of being antisemitic" still "deny that what’s going on [in Gaza] is a genocide. So, we’re never going to see eye to eye on that... And they’re wrong. Just factually wrong."
"The specifics of my situation were like a perfect storm. I’m a woman of color in this industry. I’m 'on the rise,' but I don’t have a big enough name to be untouchable, so they can make an example out of me. I am well-known enough that you can write articles and create all the clickbait propaganda that you need, but also not big enough that people are going to care enough or revolt or do anything in the industry for me. I was the perfect scapegoat."
