Trailer Bulletin: The Wicker Man
by Scott Weinberg | June 06, 2006
Blog Article | Discuss Article
Summary

Frankly I wouldn't have the guts to remake a cult classic as adored as Robin Hardy's "The Wicker Man," but obviously I am not Neil LaBute and/or Nicolas Cage. The filmmakers have a new-fangled version of "The Wicker Man" on the way, and you can check out the all-new trailer right here. Back to Article

If they don't make Cages character a religous fundamentalist virgin, like in the original, the whole point will be lost in exchange for cheap thrills.

I have a feeling they're not, which probably means the ending will be different too.

They should have brought Christopher Lee back.

I second that! Christopher Lee made that film!! Also, I'm afraid they're going to make these people into zombies. Not bad, its just that that would be drastically different for the original.

[b]wicker man[/b]
the original is one of my top movies, the trailer looks suspicious to me,looks like they dropped the pagan thing and went for devil worship instead,mmm I can see it coming, no fundamentalist virgin cop,therefore no wicker man, the ending of the original is one of the best ever,but I think they have chickened out,which will truly suck....if Christians are not going to be challenged by this movie then whats the point?
