The film, a remake of the controversially violent 1971 movie, is considered fairly faithful to Sam Peckinpah's original, though the location has been moved from Cornwall, England to the U.S. Mississippi Gulf Coast, and the hero's profession has been changed from mathematician to screenwriter.
Kate Bosworth said that to make the rape scene more lifelike, she told her co-star Alexander Skarsgård not to hold back as he pretended to perform the violent sex assault for the cameras. "I told Alex not to worry about me, to just go for it,' the Daily Mail quoted her as telling the BlackBook magazine. "I said, 'I need you to lose yourself in this moment'. And it was actually violent. He's a huge guy. When he was ripping off my clothes in front of a room filled with men, even though I knew it was make-believe, it was still incredibly violating and terrifying. The panic you see flooding me in that rape scene is real," she added.
Dustin Hoffman, who starred in (and famously disliked) the original film, Cane di paglia (1971), gave Rod Lurie his blessing.
The famous quote "I will not allow violence against this house" is not in the version shown in theaters.
Released in the UK almost 40 years to the day of the original 1971 version, which came out November 3 1971.
