Yet another Children of the Corn?
Posted: September 8, 2009, 13:38:08 | Section: Film » Children of the Corn
Ehren Kruger has been hired to pen a new adaptation of Stephen Kings Children of the Corn tale, which has already inspired the 1984 New World release, several Dimension-issued sequels and a redux that hits the Syfy channel and DVD this fall.
We felt the New World film was a missed opportunity, Dimension topper Bob Weinstein tells Variety. If you read the short story, its got such a strong feeling to it and theres this religious overtone to it as well. Ehren wants to hit it hard. Its popular in Hollywood to say youre re-envisioning a project, but a lot of the time theyre just carbon copying the original. We are bringing something new to the story.
