Grasping @ Straws


Rod Lurie tells Collider that his remake of Sam Peckinpaugh's Straw Dogs won't tone down the edge that made the original so relentless

Lurie says "I keep reading blogs from people saying it's going to be far less violent than the 1971 film [or that] the rape scene will be watered down. And those people are going to be shocked because this movie is hard R, it's a tough movie... If you're looking for the film to be less violent, less tense, less provocative, less controversial than the first you're looking at the wrong film. It's going to be very controversial."

Huge fan of the '71 pic--with the release date push back--Fingers Crossed
