Screen Gems has set James Woods, Dominic Purcell and Willa Holland in "Straw Dogs," the Rod Lurie-directed remake of the 1971 Sam Peckinpah film.

According to Variety, Lurie wrote the script, which stars James Marsden as a Hollywood screenwriter who accompanies his wife (Kate Bosworth) as she returns to her hometown in Mississippi. Her ex-boyfriend (Alexander Skarsgard), a former high school football hero, sees her return as an opportunity to reclaim glory.

Filming begins today in Shreveport, La. Marc Frydman is producing with Lurie. Gilbert Dumontet is executive producer.
