Potter, Goldwyn Choose a House: Tony Goldwyn and Monica Potter sign on to Rogue Pictures’ remake of the Wes Craven horror classic Last House on the Left, presumably as the horrified suburban parents, through it would be perversely awesome if these two innocuous whitebread also-rans got cast as Craven’s legendary sex criminals.
