The Wicker Tree starts its limited theatrical release today and we have a new clip featuring Christopher Lee. While he only has a cameo due to an injury, Christopher Lee was originally set to star in the film. You can learn more about that in our recent interview with director Robin Hardy.
The Wicker Tree is considered a spiritual sequel or companion piece to The Wicker Man, which Robin Hardy directed in 1973: “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 are 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.”
The Wicker Tree stars Graham McTavish, Brittania Nicol, Henry Garrett, Honeysuckle Weeks, Keira McMillan, and Christopher Lee.
