Sony Pictures Home Entertainment will release Straw Dogs on Blu-ray next month. Written and directed by Rod Lurie (The Contender), this remake of director Sam Peckinpah's controversial thriller stars James Marsden (The Notebook) and Kate Bosworth (Superman Returns) as David and Amy Sumner, a young couple who suffer increasingly vicious harassment when they move to a small Southern town. Chief among their aggressors is Charlie Venner (Alexander Skarsgård, True Blood), a menacing local handyman and Amy's high-school sweetheart.
In addition to Marsden, Bosworth, and Skarsgård, the film features an impressive supporting cast that includes James Woods (Videodrome), Dominic Purcell (Prison Break), Rhys Coiro (Entourage), Laz Alonso (Miracle at St. Anna), and Walton Goggins (Justified).
