The Wicker Man is a 2006 German/American remake of the 1973 British film of the same title. It was written and directed by Neil LaBute, and stars Nicolas Cage and Ellen Burstyn.<br />
It follows the investigations of an American police officer, Edward Malus, into the disappearance of his daughter on the isolated island of Summersisle in Washington, whose inhabitants are members of a matriarchal pagan religion.<br />
The film received generally poor reception from critics, and Robin Hardy, co-creator and director of the original British film, dissassociated himself from it.<br />
The film is dedicated to the deceased rockstar Johnny Ramone, who played the guitar in the legendary punk band The Ramones and was one of Nicolas Cage's closest friends.<br />
