A quite excellent trailer for Robin Hardy’s sequel/re-envisioning of cult favourite The Wicker Man (1973) popped up on the internets today. There is just one thing. The Wicker Tree, as advertised below, is certainly not the film you’ll see when the film gets its January 2012 release. This trailer promises something , dark, majestic, grandiosity. What the film actually is (see Kurt’s Review Here) instead, ends up being something satirical, humorous, and self-deprecating in a slyly intelligent farce.
Beware of advertising. Beware of expectations.
The trailer is tucked under the seat.
