UNFILMED : COWBOYS FOR CHRIST..

PORTRAIT PRODUCED FOR SET OF "COWBOYS FOR CHRIST"

Last month I featured an exclusive rare photo of a portrait that was produced for the set of the proposed film "Cowboys For Christ", here is the second portrait as promised!    


                                                                                                                                                               Joan has been attached to many projects over the years and more recently she was all set to start filming the long awaited sequel to the cult classic film "The Wicker Man", entitled "Cowboys for Christ". This would have seen her appear with her "Dark Places" co-star Christopher Lee. The film was all set to start filming in Scotland but as is the case in the film business, the money ran out! The film was abandoned and all the preproduction work on sets etc were destroyed. Among the items were two portraits commissioned  for Joan's character Lady Delia Morrison, as she lived in a big country estate. The film is now back on the production schedule under the title "The Wicker Tree", still starring Christopher Lee, but alas not Joan. Watch this space for other movie news regarding Joan!

  1. Beautiful painting...it's a pity they couldn't find enough money to produce the movie when Joan was supposed to be in it. It looks like Hollywood only has money for blockbusters aimed at a younger audience these days :-[
