Robin Hardy

It's important to know that they are telling you overtly at least by the name of this novel, being Ritual, and then the adaptation directly becoming the screenplay of The Wicker Man, written by Anthony Schaefer, who, again, these are characters who are very, very important in terms of their influence on this film.

So what I find interesting, obviously, is that later on, and the director, his name is Robin Hardy, right? Now, Robin Hardy has a son named Justin Hardy.

And there's an interesting connection to the fact that we are going to have This very month, August 2026, potentially it's already out and released, and I'm just unaware.

We have another sequel to the Wicker Man, to the original Wicker Man, called Wrath of the Gods, and it's directed by the original director's Robin Hardy's son, Justin Hardy, and it's supposed to be released this month.

So I haven't looked into what studio produced the film and where exactly you can watch the film.

Not entirely sure.

But I will be looking up the sequel to The Wicker Man very soon because obviously I think there's something to this.

And I will say also in 2011, right, there was a sequel written and directed by Robin Hardy.

Obviously, David Penner, he has a story of his own that's very interesting.

Well, I've, I've been doing that.

There's, if I'm doing anything, anything new, that is the actual s- like, pseudo sequel done by, uh, Robin Hardy's, Hardy's children coming out.

I think it's premiering, like, it's either, or just premiered at the time of recording or is about to premiere, so it's definitely c- coming out s- sometime soon-ish.

Okay.

What can you tell us about it? um the wicker man the final cut

highlighting the final cut is director robin hardy's debut feature film and it was released back in 1973 so it's a well over 50 years now it's widely considered the if not one of the most influential films in the folk horror subgenre and it paved the way for modern hits like mitsumar This is the first time the film is being screened in Korean theaters, and this is not to say it's been screened in festivals or, you know, sort of sections before, but a theatrical release, this is the first time.

And what makes this really special is they will get to experience the full 4K 50th anniversary final cut version in theaters.

Hmm.
