They're remaking The Wicker Man again

Well, in a way. Robin Hardy, the director of the original WICKER MAN, and not the dire Nicolas Cage remake, is writing and helming COWBOYS FOR CHRIST, a 're-imagining' of THE WICKER MAN which uses the same story, against a different backdrop. The rather cool news is that Christopher Lee, who starred in the original, is set to star in this also!



Moviehole reports:

Starring Christopher Lee and Faye Dunaway, the film tells of a Christian singing star and her chaste fiance, a Texas cowboy, who travel to Scotland for a music festival that is merely the curtain-raiser for a horrific pagan ritual of sacrifice and murder, and it's uncertain if the power of the Americans' Christian faith will be strong enough to survive the assault of the pagans.

Shooting is set to kick off in September, taking in locations in Scotland and Texas. Click on the link for more about the movie, including character descriptions for the film's two leads.
