Sony Screen Gems’ Violent Confrontation with ‘Straw Dogs’ Delayed
Sony Screen Gems likes to plan ahead — way ahead. It apparently works well for them as most of their PG-13 thrillers pan out quite well at the box office. I used to find myself disappointed with their watered down remakes, but now that it’s expected (they’re not made for us horror fans), I just don’t give a sh*t. So, with Screen Gems bumping their redo of Straw Dogs six months, I have zero emotion. You? For those dying to see it prepare for disappointment as the film will now arrive in theaters September 16, 2011 (yes, that says 2011). The new Straw Dogs follows Los Angeles screenwriter David Sumner (James Marsden), who moves with his wife to her hometown in the deep South. Once there, tensions build in their marriage and old conflicts re-emerge with the locals, leading to a violent confrontation.
