THE WICKER MAN: THE FINAL CUT COMES TO DVD AND BLU-RAY...
Monday 7th October 2013 - posted by Adrian_Busby
...and you could win one of two copies of the 3 disc Blu-ray release thanks to our friends at Studio Canal.
When a young girl mysteriously disappears on a remote Scottish island, devout Christian Police Sergeant Howie (Edward Woodward) travels there to investigate. He finds a close-knit and secretive pastoral community living on an island paradise, ruled over by mysterious Lord Summerisle (Christopher Lee), with beliefs very much at odds with his puritanism. The islanders mock Howie’s attempts to question them about the girl’s disappearance, and put the very foundations of his faith to the test. He begins to fear that the fate of the girl could be linked to the islanders’ failing crops and their belief that only a sacrifice of the highest order will change their luck. As May Day festivities intensify and the islanders’ behaviour becomes more frenzied, Howie’s quest to save the girl becomes a race against time.
STUDIOCANAL have been conducting an extensive worldwide search for film materials for THE WICKER MAN for the past year. Eventually a 35mm release print was found at Harvard Film Archives which director Robin Hardy has confirmed is the cut he had put together with distributors Abraxas in 1979 for the US release. This has been scanned at 4k and used to create the first ever full digital restoration of the film, with Robin Hardy’s guidance.
Robin accepts that film materials for the fabled Long Version or Director’s Cut will probably now never be found: Sadly, it seems as though this has been lost forever. However, I am delighted that a 1979 Abraxas print has been found as I also put together this cut myself, and it crucially restores the story order to that which I had originally intended. This version of The Wicker Man will (optimistically!) be known as The Final Cut.
When asked whether this cut measures up to the fabled original, long version, Robin Hardy puts it most succinctly: The film as I saw it in the editing suite the other day fulfills my vision of what it was intended to convey to the audience.
The Wicker Man: The Final Cut is released on DVD and Blu-ray on 14 October, but to in with a chance to win a copy of the Blu-ray release, simply send an email to admin@dvdcompare.net with the subject heading WICKER MAN along with the following information BY 14 OCTOBER:
