Forget Nic Cage, it's time to take back THE WICKER MAN. The original 1973 film is a classic, and its 2011 sequel THE WICKER TREE is under-appreciated. Director Robin Hardy needs your help capping off the trilogy with his fascinating-sounding THE WRATH OF THE GODS, which is seeking funds on IndieGogo as we speak.
The Whimsey Company of Burbank California decide to create a theme park featuring the Norse Saga, a story of warring Gods and Giants and sly, scheming Elves. A group of intrepid Californians journey into their sub-arctic world completely unprepared to deal with the descendants of the warrior Vikings, a people who believe in the supernatural.
Whimsey CEO Herb Boden (James Mapes) and his son Ziggy (Christopher Leveaux) are led into this doomed enterprise by the lovely Bryn (Halla Williams), herself a Scandinavian who sings like an Angel. Her father, Oscar, chief of Police, tries to keep the peace between the Whimsey crowd and the resentful Vikings. He is diverted by the arrival of the beautiful Clarissa, who shares his passion for Steam Punk and is a kindred spirit.
The film will be propelled by the music of Richard Wagner, bluegrass, folk, pop, and even barbershop, all the way to a final scene that is rumored to rival WICKER MAN's classic end. An excitingly strange mélange of ideas, THE WRATH OF THE GODS looks like it's going to be a fascinatingly strange cult-ready flick from the very start.
