In a recent interview with Tobe Hooper he mentioned as an aside that the Texas Chainsaw Chronicles television series would hopefully continue after Texas Chainsaw Massacre 3 which is currently in development.

Talking with in an interview with Bloody Disgusting found via JoBlo he says:

When asked about the recently announced Texas Chainsaw Chronicles he replied that he will be the executive producer on the TV show and that he hopes it airs after... get this... The Texas Chainsaw Massacre 3, which is currently in development.

It was also revealed to Bloody-Disgusting that he is writing a new book about his original ground-breaking Chain Saw with co-writer Kim Henkel. He tells B-D that the book will be "a view from the nucleus." Hooper also hinted that the book might even be adapted in some way or another.

So were expecting a third, and what part will Hooper play, stand in the background and let his project yet again be turned into a less than it was horror, or could this be more hands on?
