FROM MTV MOVIES: Kate Bosworth, Alexander Skarsg�rd and James Marsden have teamed up for a new millennium re-imagining of the classic 1971 Dustin Hoffman thriller, "Straw Dogs." The violent, dark film revolves around a young couple (Bosworth, Marsden) who move back to her Southern hometown and find themselves pretty unwanted by the locals, including Bosworth's ex, played by "True Blood" vamp Skarsg�rd.
"I had not seen the original film when I was offered the role; I had read the script first," Bosworth told MTV News at the premiere on Thursday. "I knew the original was a real cult classic. I read it and it was really intriguing, and then I watched the film, and I was pretty blown away; big shoes to fill. I thought, 'Oh my god, this is going to be quite an intense one,' but I love a challenge."
Marsden was thrilled by the chance to tackle a character that was very new to him, even if it had been done before.
