THE WICKER MAN's second remake is sacrificed!
COWBOYS FOR CHRIST, Robin Hardy's reimagining of his classic 70's horror movie loses it's financing at the 11th hour.
Rejoice! Crueler than the burning of Edward Woodward has come the news to the 90-odd crew primed and ready to work on the brand new reimagining of The Wicker Man that filming has been scrapped at the 11th hour.
The movie titled Cowboys for Christ, which was written and to be directed by the original Wicker Man helmer Robin Hardy and starring Christopher Lee, Joan Collins, Graham McTavish, Paul Wesley and Susie Amy was to begin filming in Scotland this week but the Dumfries and Galloway council have confirmed that financing has fallen through. It has really been a last minute decision, all of the 90 man crew had been put up in four star hotels in the area. No word if they are going to give financing another go or if the film will now be scrapped indefinitely. Hopefully it will because despite the additions of some of the original crew, do we really need to see another re-tread of what is an absolutely perfect original film? source - moviehole
