Film Wicker extends 4DX screenings following high demand

The film Wicker has extended its 4DX sensory cinema engagement through November 4 following sold-out initial screenings. The extension, coordinated by CJ4DPLEX and Black Bear, follows significant audience interest and social media engagement regarding the film's romantic themes and sensory potential.

Based on Ursula Wills-Jones’ short story ‘The Wicker Husband’, the film is a comic fable starring Olivia Colman as a fisherwoman who commissions a husband made of willow. The character, played by Alexander Skarsgård, creates a social stir within a village. The 4DX format utilizes synchronized motion seating and environmental effects such as wind, water, and vibration to complement the film's unconventional romance.

Cast members Olivia Colman and Elizabeth Debicki have discussed the character's appeal, noting the unique nature of Skarsgård's role. The film's production involved collaboration with directors Eleanor Wilson and Alex Huston Fischer to integrate motion and sensory effects.
