Title: Jolie to star in The Wicker Man

TWO of Hollywood's hottest stars will put a spell on Nicolas Cage in the remake of Scots horror The Wicker Man.

Winona Ryder and Angelina Jolie, who previously starred together in the Oscar- winner Girl Interrupted, will team up again.

In the original Wicker Man, Edward Woodward was tempted by a single beauty, Britt Ekland.

But Cage, who takes on the Woodward role, will be seduced by Ryder and Jolie.

The new £40million version, which starts shooting later this year, moves the location from a Scots island to the US.

Director Neil LaBute said: "The original was a horror film about a policeman sent to a small island, to investigate the disappearance of a girl, who finds a pagan society.

"In my version Cage winds up on this island that's a very matriarchal society run by women who are direct descendants of pilgrims.

"I can't reveal the plot too far but his downfall comes about when he is torn between two very different women who are both not what they seem.

"One is very outgoing and apparently upfront about her sexuality and the other is dark and intense. But looks can be deceptive as Cage finds out."

The original Wicker Man was filmed in Dumfries and Galloway.
