Cage Signs on for LaBute's "Wicker" Remake

Posted by RT-News on Friday, Mar. 04, 2005, 12:45 PM


"Scott Weinberg writes: "Variety brings news of an impending horror remake that's beginning to sound pretty interesting: director Neil LaBute ("In the Company of Men") will be mounting a remake of Robin Hardy's 1973 cult classic "The Wicker Man," and the rather busy Nicolas Cage has just signed on for the lead role (played by Edward "The Equalizer" Woodward in the original film.)"

I guess all the "good" movies were made last century and we are left with nothing but remakes like this one. I actually liked this movie and thank you Cinema 10 for bringing it into my home! This is a good example how VOOM is directly & indirectly affecting many avenues of life. My theory is that Some hollywood exec, who recieved free VOOM at the oscars, was watching Cinema 10 and said "Wow, I gotta make this movie". IMO, strange choice of a movie to spend millions of dollars to remake.

I might add that if you haven't seen it yet, you may want to refrain from doing so since the M. Night Shyamalan type ending may ruin the new version for you...

I haven't seen it yet and I want to watch it since you guys have raved so much about it

OK, I'm showing my age, I saw this in the theater when it first released.

Therin lies the quandry. I usually like to see/rent the original before I see a remake but as a comparison, would one pay to see a remake of the Sixth Sense (albeit 30 years from now) knowing the suprise ending??? I'm a cage fan but I don't know if I'd drop $10 to see the remake. I guess it depends on who is playing the heroine and how hot she is... lol...

Great movie, I agree. I have the DVD from Anchor Bay which is in a wooden case. Of course, the HD version is better than the DVD, but the DVD isn't bad and comes with two versions of the film. In case you're interested in getting it....

It's on right now

Wasn't sure if this was cataloged but I found the review post: http://www.satelliteguys.us/showthread.php?p=372205

However it isn't cataloged in the monthly voom thread or in the table on the first post of the thread linked

I was able to finally record this one and watch it. Very bizarre twist at the end. Lots of nudity and strange things (I wonder if the remake will be a "Galicula" type with all the nudity). I won't spoil it for anyone who has not seen it.

Wicker Man sounds interesting...does anyone know when it will be playing next?

I saw most of it last weekend. Unfortunately, I missed a ten minute segment just before the last ten minutes of the movie. I never saw it before. It was definitely a creepy movie.

942 will be setting at the ready. Thanks!

You guys recording Wicker Man may want to pad 10 minutes to the end. The one time I tried recording it, it started at the proper time but got cut off, but maybe the EPG reflects correctly now?
