Corn Casting

Posted by bob in Reviews on August 20th, 2008

Children of the Corn, the remake for the Sci Fi Channel, has landed Heroes’ David Anders and Battlestar Galactica’s Kandyse McClure as leads. Principal photography begins September 3 in Iowa with a 2009 air date being planned.

The synopsis pretty much follows the original Stephen King story: Vietnam vet Burt and his wife Vicky recognize their marriage is in deep trouble.  In an effort to reconnect, they try for a second honeymoon by driving across country.  One stop is in a rural community with something wicked growing amidst the corn fields.
