The truth is that we're not remaking Sam Peckinpah's 'Straw Dogs,' we're making 'Straw Dogs.' We're taking this story, and we're putting our own spin on it. The mere fact that I have James Marsden in it is an indication that it's a very different film than the one that had Dustin Hoffman in it.
Rod Lurie
I think people were a little premature in writing off violent movies. They're going to continue being made, and audiences will continue going to see them.
Rod Lurie
I think that most of the young officers I know are leftists and liberals and Democrats. And the reason is this: All of our soldiers, the men that work for us directly, are minorities - blacks or Latinos. And we empathize with them. Our job is to advise them and help them.
Rod Lurie
When you hire Sam Jackson, he'll figure out the character, and he'll figure out the character's look, and he'll provide it to you. With Sam Jackson, you basically yell 'action', you go get a sandwich, and you come back and yell 'cut.'
Rod Lurie
I often found that my favorite scene that I shoot is often one that I cut out, like in 'The Last Castle' and 'The Contender.' If you look at the deleted scenes, some of the best scenes never made it into the film.
Rod Lurie
I look at 'Straw Dogs' as a very imperfect movie. It's a little bit slow, and its themes are a little bit murky.
Rod Lurie
I'm sure when 'Midnight Cowboy' came out, it took a couple of minutes to get used to the voice and the look of Dustin Hoffman, or to even recognize that it was Dustin Hoffman.
Rod Lurie
'Commander in Chief' became a show not about why we should have a woman president but why we should not have a woman president.
Rod Lurie
I met Joan Allen at an L.A. Film Critics Awards' dinner, and I said, 'I want to write a movie for you.'
Rod Lurie
The truth is that when a man has a child, and it's a girl, and he doesn't change as a man, he's not much of a man.
Rod Lurie
There's a difference between 'political films' and 'films about Iraq.'
Rod Lurie
Anything about Iraq is a death sentence at the box office... You can't make movies about an unpopular war while the war is still going on - people don't want to pay to get depressed, though they sometimes will go to movies to get educated.

My mom is an exceptionally wise and kind person.
Rod Lurie
I think our nation cannot stomach the notion of a woman in sexual terms whatsoever: that we are so puritanical that we cannot dismiss the notion of sex from our minds when it comes to women.
Rod Lurie
Unfortunately, in this country, when we have the opportunity to be bigots in private, we take it every time.
Rod Lurie
We make movies to endorse our own personal feelings. I am not, in fact, a documentary filmmaker. I've got my personal beliefs, and I'm ready to put them out on the table.
Rod Lurie
There seems to be an interest in connecting the history of the past to the present and asking whether things have really changed. Films like 'The Contender' and 'Bulworth' seem quaint compared with Trump!
Rod Lurie
If you look at the greatest performances of women, they're usually older... Anne Bancroft in 'The Graduate,' Kathy Bates in 'Misery.' It's a matter of characters having a life experience that makes them interesting.
Rod Lurie
Hollywood is enamored of the 20- to 30-year-old actress, but by the very nature of the life experience of the character, the roles cannot be that rich. You can only have Angelina Jolie in a mental hospital so many times.
Rod Lurie
I grew up in the home of a political cartoonist, so I was a junkie for politics.
