Los Angeles-based Fantastic Films International has come on board for worldwide sales for Cowboys For Christ, written and directed by Robin Hardy. Hardy, known for directing 1973's The Wicker Man, also wrote the book of the same name.
Cowboys For Christ will start shooting in March 2008 around Dumfries, Scotland.
Christopher Lee, who starred in The Wicker Man, will play Lachlan Morrison, the leader of a small Scottish village. His community embraces two newcomers, a Christian couple from Texas.
Peter Watson-Wood and Alastair Gourley will finance and produce the film through their CFC Film Ltd. The film-makers clarify: 'Cowboys for Christ is not a sequel or a prequel to The Wicker Man, but it is a story inhabiting the same territory.'
