Sony Screen Gems has released another official one sheet and a trio of character posters for Straw Dogs, Rod Lurie’s remake of Sam Peckinpah’s 1971 classic arriving in theaters September 16. After the boxoffice bomb of Fright Night 3D, you have to think Sony is a bit concerned right about now…
Anyways, the official poster is a modern version of the 1971 version, but depicts the film’s antagonist, Charlie, as played by “True Blood” fav Alexander Skarsgård. It’s a nice piece of imagery that will catch anyones eye as they walk by in a theater. On the other hand, the character posters are tedious, spewing quotes from the movie by the character portrayed. A big finger down the throat.

Last month director Rod Lurie took to Twitter to share the official poster for his remake of Straw Dogs, which stars James Marsden, Kate Bosworth, Alexander Skarsgard, James Woods, Dominic Purcell and Willa Holland. What he put on display was very telling as it was his way of implying that the redo is faithful to the classic. Now, a second version has been released that’s tweaked more in the favor of the original by adding a sorta creepy look at James Marden’s right eye.
Based on the previously released trailer (found at the bottom of the this news story), Screen Gems’ flick arriving in theaters September 16 looks tonally similar to I Spit On Your Grave and Last House on the Left. That’s definitely a good thing.
