In 2003, nearly 30-years after the release of the original film, it was time for Leatherface to get a fresh start in a remake.

That being said, let’s take a look back at the remake and go over 10 things you might have not known about the movie.

#1: Leatherface was originally going to kill Jedidiah by impaling him with his chainsaw as punishment for helping Erin escape. This scene was cut out because it was considered to be too brutal.

#2: After filming for his character wrapped, Eric Balfour stripped off all of his clothes, tossed them to the crew and walked off the set while only wearing a baseball cap.

#3: During her audition, Erica Leerhsen screamed so loud that people in other parts of the building thought that someone was being attacked, so they called the police.

#4: It was announced that Marilyn Manson was going to be the composer for the movie, but had to back out due to scheduling conflicts.

#5: Originally, Jessica Biel’s character, Erin, was going to be pregnant, which is why she didn’t smoke any weed or drink the water in Mexico.

#6: Speaking of Jessica Biel, she wasn’t the only actress considered for the role of Erin. Hell, she wasn’t even the only Jessica considered for the role. Jessica Alba was considered, as was Katie Holmes and Kirsten Dunst. As a matter of fact, Lauren German, the actress who plays the hitchhiker in the beginning of the movie, originally tried out for the role of Erin.

#7: Gunnar Hansen, the actor who played Leatherface in the original movie, was asked if he’d like to appear in this film as the truck driver near the end of the movie. However, like many times before, Hansen wanted more money than what the studio was willing to pay him.

#8: The scene in the van with R. Lee Ermey and Jonathan Tucker is particularly intense. One thing that lended to the intensity of the scene is that Jonathan Tucker would force the barrel of the pistol down his throat to intentionally make himself puke. If you look, you can actually see vomit coming out of his mouth.

#9: This remake does pay homage to the original. When Erin pulls out a knife, she says that she got it from her brother. In the original, Franklin is particularly fond of his knife and let’s his sister, Sally, borrow it, which she never returns.

#10: Dolph Lundgren was approached for the role of Leatherface, but declined, saying he would like to spend to spend more time with his family and couldn’t accept any roles at the time.
