Summary
Wrath of the Gods premiered at London's FrightFest on Friday, completing Robin Hardy's planned Wicker Man trilogy a decade after the director died in 2016.
Six sacks of letters, scripts and storyboards found in an attic after the sale of Justin Hardy's former family home yielded the long-lost script that revived the project.
Spring 2025 filming in Shetland mixed actors Francis Magee and Christiane Schaldemose with a largely local cast, with the story drawing on Viking and Shetland mythology.
Justin Hardy, 61, died last month before the premiere, turning the screening into a tribute to him as well as to Robin Hardy and Caroline Hardy, the original film's uncredited backer.
