I was very excited to see the American Reunion movie. I saw American Pie just after college and remembered it was quite funny.
Jim, Michelle, Oz, Heather, Stifler reunite for their high school...
That vague premise doesn't really inspire much confidence. The news of five writers doesn't either. I'd like to take this moment to say I really like Jason Goes To Hell. Not a popular opinion I know but it's pretty entertaining I think.
It raises an important question though; since this is purportedly to take place in the modern day and be a direct sequel to the ’74 film, does this mean that the hot chick is inheriting a geriatric Leatherface?

five credited writers, one of whom wrote and directed Jason Goes To Hell
Maybe a magic mouth slug allows Leatherface to jump from his old body to a new one. Or maybe someone eats Leatherface's heart and gets his powers or some shit (which would actually make sense this time round, what with the cannibalism and all)
I'm going to bet Leatherface is still young and contemporary, and this movie's going to pay lip service to the idea that the "TCM" movies, as we know, happened in modern day. As in, we wanted to do a sequel, but we didn't want to do a period movie.
I think this will finally push the Chainsaw franchise past Halloween for 'most fucked up continuity'.
We're past that. The various Halloween continuities at least ran for a couple of films. Every single sequel to the original Chainsaw ignored the sequels that came before.

Yeah, this will be 5 Chainsaw continuities. Halloween could get back in the game if the next film ignores Zombie's continuity.
All of the original sequels acknowledge the original; they ignore the previous sequels. Leatherface ignores Chansaw 2, Next Generation ignores Leatherface and Chainsaw 2. Every sequel is in effect a new continuity sprung from the original.
