The Wicker Man director angry over remake[…]
In the original, Woodward’s character was a virgin, making him ideal for sacrifice. That element has been ditched from the remake, because it was thought that while audiences would accept the idea of an American community that practised human sacrifice, the idea of a grown-up virgin was just too farfetched.
Mmm… maybe they have a point there, at least in Holloywoodland… 😎
However: I do sometimes feel that certain movies should not be remade. Remaking Its a Wonderful Life would practically be sinful.
