Is the upcoming movie Straw Dogs based on a true story?

“Straw Dogs” starring James Marsden, Kate Bosworth, and Alexander Skarsgard is not based on a true story. The theater release date is September 16, 2011. It is a remake of the 1971 film of the same name that starred Dustin Hoffman, Susan George, and Peter Vaughan. Both films are based on the Gordon Williams novel, "The Siege of Trencher's Farm", published in 1969. The 1971 on-screen version was criticized for its violent content.
