The Wicker Man sequel director Justin Hardy – son of the original Wicker Man director Robin – has died weeks before the film’s premiere. It was only years later I learnt he was son of Robin Hardy when I was watching a Wicker Man documentary. https://t.co/uUaZu77lN4 — Daniel Cause (@Daniel_Cause) August 3, 2026This morning we pay #tribute to co-author of Children of The Wicker Man, Justin Hardy, who sadly passed away on Friday. A "larger-than-life presence", son of iconic director Robin Hardy and a filmmaker in his own right. Alongside the Wicker Man sequels, Hardy and half-brother Dominic created the documentary Children of the Wicker Man.
