I wish I could unsee things. I was rummaging around Amazon.co.uk, to see if Straw Dogs had finally been released on Blu-ray after being delayed constantly, and me losing interest. Sure enough it had, and as much as I'd like to take an Amazon reviewer's (in the same class as IMDB.com user comments - "This film was totally gay!!!!") word for it, I preferred to find a more reliable review source to see what the disc was actually like. Hammered away at Google to see what would turn up, and was thrilled to see a remake lined up for production in 2011. Oh good.
There are a few reasons for cautious optimism, Alexander Skarsgard and James Wood appear in the cast list, while the director Rod Lurie has a reasonably good looking pedigree, and doesn't have any films with the words 'Alien vs' or 'Predator' in his work history. Unsurprisingly the synopsis has the movie being relocated to the deep south, which is where my interest wains and pessimism starts to mount again. Oh well, we shall see. Worryingly the 'Long Good Friday' remake has reappeared on schedules for 2011 too.
