Garret Dillahunt, Rhys Coiro, Martha MacIsaac and Riki Lindhome have joined the cast of Wes Craven’s The Last House on the Left remake for Rogue Pictures.
Variety says that Dillahunt, who has memorable roles in No Country for Old Men and The Assassination of Jesse James by the Coward Robert Ford, will play the thug Krug in the remake of Craven’s 1972 original. Dennis Iliadis will direct.
The project is gearing up for a March 24 start in South Africa.
Craven and Marianne Maddalena are producing under his Midnight Pictures, along with Sean S. Cunningham, who produced the original. Adam Alleca rewrote the original to give it a more realistic tone.
The story revolves around a couple, on vacation at their lakeshore house, who inadvertently gives shelter to the sociopaths who have just assaulted and nearly killed their daughter. After discovering the truth, they exact revenge on the attackers.
