'The Wicker Tree' Trailer

The trailer for the long-awaited follow-up to The Wicker Man is now available.  Expected to be released later this year, it is apparently not a sequel as such but has a strong thematic relation with its predecessor.  Robin Hardy once again directs, this time adapting his own novel Cowboys For Christ with filming in Haddington and Gorebridge. 


Obviously The Wicker Tree has great potential to disappoint those of us who are fans of the 1973 film, and I'm more than a little concerned by some of the snippets here.  Hopefully I'm wrong.

  1. Have you seen the American version with Nicholas Cage - if you haven't then thank the d=goddess for that as it is truly awful

  2. Seems a tad... erm... conventional for a Wicker Man sequel. Interesting view of what looked to be a blood-stained hairbrush, though. I'd recommend either changing shampoo or pressing less hard when brushing. Rich x

  3. I caught bits of it when it was on telly over Christmas but it just didn't seem to work. Love the original though.

  6. Oh it looks like utter drivel. Still, we get some nice Christian country in the soundtrack.
