Children of the Corn: Kurt Wimmer’s remake previewed with image gallery

Last Updated on August 2, 2021

As one of the few dedicated fans of the Children of the Corn franchise, I am anxiously waiting to hear distribution news for the new take on the concept that Equilibrium director Kurt Wimmer shot in Australia last year. Some movie-goers have already had the chance to see it, as Wimmer's Children of the Corn received a very limited theatrical release in Florida last October. But the rest of us are left waiting. In the meantime, a batch of promotional images have been released online by ANVL Entertainment, and you can see those pictures below.

Inspired by the short story by Stephen King, this Children of the Corn shows 

the events leading up to, and including, the massacre of the adults of a small town in Nebraska by their children, after the adults’ irresponsibility ruins the crop and the children’s future.

Here's another synopsis: 

A smart teenager finds herself trapped in a horrific plot by the young children in her town to murder all their parents and ‘heal the corn.’ 

The cast includes Elena Kampouris, Kate Moyer, Callan Mulvey, and Bruce Spence.

This Children of the Corn was produced by Lucas Foster, Doug Barry, John Baldecchi, and Pam Collis. Wimmer executive produced alongside Mathieu Bonzon, Pascal Borno, John Fragomeni, Brian LaRoda, Keri Nakamoto, Andre Gaines, Sean Harner, and Donald P. Borchers.

The film was rated R for "violence and bloody images".
