Robin Hardy, the filmmaker who brought us The Wicker Man has died at the age of 86. Hardy only directed three movies during his career, but The Wicker Man, his debut, is one of the most regarded and impactful of the last 50 years.
The Wicker Man starred Edward Woodward and Christopher Lee and revolved around a police sergeant who is sent to a Scottish island village in search of a missing girl whom the townsfolk claim never existed.
The film was remade in 2006 by Neil LaBute with Nicolas Cage in the lead role.
Hardy followed up The Wicker Man with The Fantasist in 1986, thirteen years after the release of his groundbreaking masterpiece, and then made The Wicker Tree in 2011. He intended to follow-up that movie with a third film in the ‘Wicker’ series as a tribute to the late, great Christopher Lee.
Rest in piece Robin, and thank you for the movies.
