Stephen King’s Children of the Corn Remake Trailer
Director Kurt Wimmer’s re-adaptation of Stephen King’s creepy short story, Children of the Corn, was shot just before the pandemic caused widespread chaos back in 2020, and was shelved shortly after.
We recently learned that the movie is – finally – set to hit theaters on March 3 for an 18-day window before being made available on demand and digital on March 21, and the first trailer is now online.
The new movie is the eleventh overall installment in the franchise, and once it’s actually released it’ll be the first movie since John Gulager’s Children of the Corn: Runaway in 2018.
In Wimmer’s movie, which is said to have very little to do with King’s novel, “Possessed by a spirit in a dying cornfield, a twelve-year-old girl in Nebraska recruits the other children in her small town to go on a bloody rampage and kill all the adults and anyone else who opposes her. A bright high schooler who won’t go along with the plan is the town’s only hope of survival.”
The new film’s cast includes Elena Kampouris (Before I Fall), Kate Moyer (“When Hope Calls”), Callan Mulvey (Avengers: Endgame) and Bruce Spence (The Road Warrior).
