Reader comment:

"What?! I didn't know The Wicker Man (the good one, not the Neil LaBute piece of crap) had a sequel! This has to be good, right?"

Me:

Maybe, but I don't think it will get a theatrical release in North America. It screened at Cannes, and the rights to it were secured by Anchor Bay, so I suppose they'll push it to DVD.

It's not a sequel, but rather a similar film from the same man who created the original cult classic. It even features an appearance by Christopher Lee. Director/novelist/screenwriter Robin Hardy is in his 80s now, but I'm keeping an open mind and moderately high hopes. At the very least, even if the film is mediocre, we should be pleased with the level of nudity.

Wikipedia says, "The Wicker Tree is an upcoming film by British director Robin Hardy. The film contains several similar elements to the 1973 film The Wicker Man which was also directed by Hardy, but is neither a sequel nor a remake of that film. Based on Hardy's own 2006 novel Cowboys for Christ, the film focuses on Texas pop star turned gospel singer, Beth (Brittania Nicol) and her cowboy boyfriend, Steve (Henry Garrett), both devout evangelical Christians from the church Cowboys for Christ, sent on a mission to spread the word of God to the people of Scotland."

Here is the film's official site.

By the way ...

If you want to see the film, don't read the Wikipedia page. It spoils all the plot twists in gory detail.
