new tidbits

Robin Hardy director of The Wicker Man interview - Without Your Head

Lots of good info here. A standout about the storyboards:
Robin has sold some of the illustrations at auction and given some to authors of books (Brown? Earnshaw?) so the likelihood of there ever being a complete collection looks unlikely. He thinks some get sold on eBay but I've never seen any.

Also, independent of that:
I discovered some showings of the movie in 1974 in the Atlanta area from searching for newspapers, in this case, The Atlanta Constitution. It had Warner Brothers pic ads for these dates: 5/14, 5/15 and one for 5/21 (Smyrna, GA). I can see that they use Warner Brothers ads but the 5/14 and 5/15 ads are different from the 5/21 ad which is thinner and only has the Wicker Man whereas the other two have the standard WB ad with Willow and LS below TWM.
