Whether you’re a supporter of crowdfunded projects or not, one thing is certain… this funding medium is here to stay. The next filmmaker to utilize it? The Wicker Man and The Wicker Tree director Robin Hardy.
Hardy has launched an Indiegogo campaign for The Wrath of the Gods, the conclusion of his “Wicker Trilogy.”
Hardy and company are looking to raise $200k for the production, which includes a number of perks: Contribute to the $55 tier, and you get a physical copy of the film. By dropping $25 on the campaign, you get a digital copy. If all goes well, shooting is planned for October of this year.
Plot Details:
The Whimsey Company of Burbank, California, decide to create a theme park featuring the Norse Saga, a story of warring Gods and Giants and sly, scheming Elves. A group of intrepid Californians journey into their sub-Arctic world, completely unprepared to deal with the descendants of the warrior Vikings, a people who believe in the supernatural.
Whimsey CEO Herb Boden (James Mapes) and his son, Ziggy (Christopher Leveaux), are led into this doomed enterprise by the lovely Bryn (Halla Williams), herself a Scandinavian who sings like an Angel. Her father, Oscar, Chief of Police, tries to keep the peace between the Whimsey crowd and the resentful Vikings. He is diverted by the arrival of the beautiful Clarissa, who shares his passion for steampunk and is a kindred spirit.
