Ritual by David Pinner – the book that inspired the Wicker Man movie reprinted

Posted on | 1 Comment

Ritual

Not an exact template for the movie, Ritual by David Pinner was, however, the book that inspired the movie – and it is getting a reprint in the very near future.

Rather than being set in the Scottish highlands, this 1967 novel is set in Cornwall, with police officer, David Hanlin asked to investigate the murder of a local child. Whilst there, he's subjected to mental trickery, seduction, ancient religious practices and sacrificial rituals. Sound familiar?

The rights to the book were obtained for the Wicker Man movie a few years later, with a fairly minimal rewrite creating the ultimate movie cult classic. Original copies go for silly money, so the £6.39 price tag for the new version, which comes with original cover artwork and a new forward by Saint Etienne's Bob Stanley, looks a serious bargain. Alternatively, a hardback version sells for £9.09.

Retro Scandinavian Style Star Wars Poster

Posted on | Leave a comment

Il_570xN_205582420 
Czech Republic-based graphic designer Jan Skácelík has created this great Retro Scandinavian Style Star Wars Poster.

He has taken elements of the original film, Episode IV: A New Hope such as R2D2, a Stormtrooper helmet and a lightsaber, and recreated them in a midcentury style. The poster is available in either yellow or red and in A3 or A2 size. There is also an Empire Strikes Back poster in a similar style, but no Return of the Jedi or  tributes to the more recent trilogy, which Ewok-haters and purists might approve of. 

The A3 size poster costs approximately £12 from Etsy.
