Gordon M Williams’ book The Siege of Trencher’s Farm was the source material for both Sam Peckinpah’s 1971 Straw Dogs and Rod Lurie’s 2011 film. James Marsden, Kate Bosworth, and Alexander Skarsgard lead the cast of the R-rated thriller opening in theaters on September 16, 2011.

The cast of the 2011 remake also features Drew Powell as Bic, Billy Lush as Chris, Rhys Coiro as Norman, Laz Alonso as John Burke, and Willa Holland as Janice Heddon.

Official Synopsis: David and Amy Sumner (James Marsden and Kate Bosworth), a Hollywood screenwriter and his actress wife, return to her small hometown in the deep South to prepare the family home for sale after her father’s death. Once there, tensions build in their marriage and old conflicts re-emerge with the locals, including Amy’s ex-boyfriend Charlie (Alexander Skarsgard), leading to a violent confrontation.
