Another Wes Craven cult classic has been marked for remake. I guess you can’t really blame producers for wanting to scarf up all of Craven’s less commercially successful flicks. After all, the remake of The Hills Have Eyes was good enough to warrant a lackluster sequel. Who wouldn’t want that kind of success?
Next up from Craven’s library is the Rogue Pictures remake of Last House on the Left, which has gotten its cast. Variety reorts that Tony Goldwyn (Ghost, The Last Samurai) and Monica Potter (Saw, Con Air) will star in the movie, which tells the story of escaped convicts who take a couple of teenage girls hostage and hole up in one of the girl’s homes after leaving her for dead.
While Goldwyn and Potter have been announced as the movie’s “stars,” I have no idea how that could be. Goldwyn doesn’t really come across as gritty enough to play an escaped convict. Besides, I thought he had moved more to the direction side of things. Meanwhile, Potter would not be convincing as a teenage girl (sorry Potter fans – she’s attractive, but she’s no teenager). Something tells me these are key members of a supporting cast, but not the film’s stars.
