Okay, I just watched it. Were I a newcomer, it might be a potentially intriguing trailer, but knowing what I know, I'm not too happy. It starts with a flashback to Cage the motorcycle cop failing to save a little girl from a fiery explosion, then it says "a man LOST" or "a lost man," I forget. You get the idea.
From there it's a bunch of teasy shots of townspeople being weird and Cage running around and whatever. It didn't quell any of my doubts.
But I mean just look at that picture! In the original, the Wicker Man sat high atop a hill overlooking the sea. This one is in some scrubby clearing overlooking nothing. Snore.
