THE WICKER TREE, Robin Hardy’s “re-imagining” of his immortal classic THE WICKER MAN, is finally ready to be unleashed upon the world next week. To get you ready, we’re pleased to bring you an exclusive clip from the movie, which you can watch below.
In THE WICKER TREE, two young missionaries from Texas (Brittania Nicol, Henry Garrett) head to Scotland to educate the Scottish heathens in the way of Christ. They are initially charmed by the locals in the town of Tressock, and agree to become the local Queen of the May and Laddie for the annual town festival. But the couple is not prepared for the frightening consequences of their decision, and the very disturbing secrets they are about to discover about Tressock’s seemingly friendly townspeople.
Written and directed by Robin Hardy as a companion piece to his original cult classic “The Wicker Man” from 1973, THE WICKER TREE also features Graham McTavish (“The Hobbit”), Brittania Nicol, Henry Garrett, Jacqueline Leonard, Honeysuckle Weeks, Clive Russell, and Christopher Lee (star of the original “The Wicker Man”). It comes out in limited release on JANUARY 27th.
