Rogue Pictures has closed a deal to remake THE LAST HOUSE ON THE LEFT, the 1972 horror film that started Wes Craven's career, reports Variety.

Craven, who wrote and directed the original, will produce the remake with longtime partner Marianne Maddalena and Sean S. Cunningham.

Rogue will retain worldwide rights for the redo, which follows the same storyline. A pair of adventurous teen girls are kidnapped, raped and murdered by a gang of thugs. The killers unwittingly hole up in the home of one victim's parents, who, upon realizing what their guests did, devise gruesome revenge.

Craven and Rogue are eyeing an early 2007 start date.
