The Wicker Man

[The Artful Shrimper]

I know from previous posts there are a few people on here who love "The Wicker Man". Me included. They've remade it with Nicolas Cage. I'll damn them all to hell if the policeman gets away with it!  
This could be the worst thing Hollywood bough out since casting Sylvester Stallone as Judge Dread....and allowing him to take his helmet off!
Is it Americanised? will there be any didly dee music around the maypole or some Bluesgrass around a corrugated shack.

Anyway it's out end of the month and I'll be first in the queue.

Merry Meet Merry Part and Merry Meet Again.
Hail the thrice Goddess

Here's the website

If it's anything as good as the remake of Get Carter then I'll be at the back of the queue, or maybe not even bother.

They'll bollock it up i'm sure.

The Britishness of it is what makes it so special.
Spooky pagan aura to it that you can't re-create with Nicholas friggin cage !!

I think we should do a remake of 'It's a wonderful life' starring Ross Kemp and Mike Reid as payback for all the English classics Hollywood has ruined.

I only needed to see this still to know they'd f%&ked it up...

As if that wasn't bad enough, they've made Summerisle a woman and changed 2 characters surnames to 'Woodward' (despite the man himself declining an offer of a cameo). Oh God, oh Jeus Christ no!!!!!

The important question though; does Britt Ekland get her waps out?

 

[Xàbia Shrimper]

It's Nicolas Cage so I'll give it a go ... not holding much hope though ...

Has disaster written all over it. How can you do an American remake of such a "British" Film. Still at least Sly Stallone hasnt gone anywhere near it unless he comes in at the end to "Eye of the Tiger" to rescue Howie from the burning wicker man.

Howie? Howie?? No Howie in this film mate - you mean...

Edward Maulis!

I agree with the others, the Britishness and the lack of 'hollywood effects' make it such a favourite with me....

I am disgusted. I will definitely not be going to the cinema to see another US remake of a classic film go tits up (pardon the pun, Britt).

I don't know about the Wicker Man but I would like to see a remake of KP Wicker crisps.

I was a big fan of the Roast Chicken flavour.

Another remake, whoop-de-do!!
