We broke the news a few weeks back that Midnight Pictures is prepping to shoot their remake of The Last House on the Left for Rogue Pictures. Dennis Iliadis was attached to direct as casting has been underway for quite sometime now. Today four names were revealed for the film, which begins lensing March 24 start in South Africa - read on to see who. Also, get ready to laugh at the idea that the film is going to be more brutal than the original, only the daughter won't be raped or killed - and the last house on the left is on the lake... what?! I'm confused.
Busy character thesp Garret Dillahunt has joined the cast of Wes Craven's "Last House on the Left" redo for Rogue.
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.
Dillahunt joins a trio of other thesps -- Rhys Coiro (The Chaos Theory), Martha MacIsaac (Superbad) and Riki Lindhome (Pulse) -- in the project, which is gearing up for a March 24 start in South Africa.
Craven and Marianne Maddalena are producing under his Midnight Pictures shingle, along with Sean S. Cunningham, who produced the original. Adam Alleca rewrote the original to give it a more realistic tone.
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.
Dillahunt, who has had recurring roles on a number of skeins, including "Damages" and "Deadwood," will next appear on the bigscreen in Paul Schneider's "Pretty Bird." Coiro, best known as crazy director Billy Walsh in "Entouage," stars in upcoming "The Chaos Theory." Lindhome has several projects on the way, including "Powder Blue" and "The Changeling."
