Rod Lurie

Lord knows we don’t need another version of Straw Dogs; we just don’t. In fact, if there’s a common thread among all remakes these days (yes, even the good ones), it’s that they’re pointless. I’m sure director Rod Lurie (The Last Castle) will put together a competent enough film, but really: Why?

Much to the chagrin of many Sam Peckinpah's 1971 film Straw Dogs (based upon the book The Siege at Trencher's Farm by Gordon Williams) is getting itself a Hollywood make-over. Can director Rod Lurie capture the essence of the original masterpiece and successfully update it for our times? Well the jury is still out, but the cast is shaping up nicely.
