Children of the Corn is getting a remake, and though I am typically wary of remakes, this is one I wouldn’t mind seeing. Now we get news that David Anders and Kandyse McClure have been added as the tall folk in the cast.
According to Beyond Hollywood, It seems that instead of a big-screen version, the Sci-Fi Channel wants to whip up an original movie tapping an anti-Heroes player and a chick straight out of Battlestar Galactica. Should this rumor be true, it means that David Anders would take on Peter Horton’s role, while Kandyse McClure would take on Linda Hamilton’s.
Children of the Corn was the movie that messed my brain up for years. I saw it at a younger than recommended age and the whole idea of a community that had a ritualistic suicide at age 18 scared the crap out of me.
That line where the adults trip over their cult and find a boy in a church slashing his wrists with a generous smile saying “It’s my birthday” will forever scar my brain.
Corn does qualify for TMB’s 4 Rules Before Making A Remake and the sequels were all getting sillier and less effective, so its time.
The adults play a less significant role so the announcement of David Anders (Kensei/Adam from Heroes) and the beautiful Kandyse McClure (Lt. Dualla from BSG) are not as important as getting a truly creepy bunch of kids that are convincingly a threat.
Malachai seriously freaked me. So much so that later in Sunday School (told you I was young) when the similar biblical name came up I thought it was the same guy. Sent my head for a loop.
This has the potential to be a serious creepy movie if its done right. But its all about the kids.
He is obviously ready and willing to prove
Himself by accomplishing those ideas we consider impossible including those activities we regard as miracles.
For example: open in your browser and check for anything (Twilight for instance). The Bit – Torrent protocol basically permits people to upload and distribute parts of a file on the same time.
Bishop – rent/netflix the movie its still creepy.
So, basically Sci-Fi channel is going to remake it for the TV…hmm well that could be hit or miss. Though for some reason I feel less offended by a remake for TV than if it was a theatrical release.
You know, after all the horror movies I have seen, Children of the Corn is one of those that I had always meant to, but just never did.
I could watch Kandyse McClure peel potatoes in a burlap sack and call it good tv.
