Finally, a film that could use a remake! The original is not bad, but nowhere near as good as it could have been. Let's hope Donald P. Borchers can give us something memorable and not just another remake made solely for the money.

daaaamn this guys from back in the day! produced a movie from 1084!!

They will never find a another john franklin who played issac guy scarred the crap out of me.

Whoa, no spellcheck at Bloody Disgusting. I'm glad I wasn't the only one to see that Beastmaster was made in 1084. I think the Crusades were going on during that time!^_^ And the other line: "It was also revealed that this will be a period piece set in the 1979s.". "1979s"? I didn't realize there was more than one year passing in 1979. I think you meant the 1970s, or in 1979. Thinking back to Stephen King's original story, it took place sometime in the 70s. But yeah, strange news indeed. I wonder if they are going to keep the roles of Malachai and Isaac with similar looking actors. I always see Malachai as a red-head, and Isaac as a man-child.

hah shit these movies sucked bad anyways and the basic story for this is just so stupid, children of the corn movies are about the lowest form of horror movies on my list... usually im open to remakes, but i have no interest in this

LOLOL.....magnaderalpha....that's funny as hell. Yea, I am looking forward to this. I have been wanting another installment in the COTC franchise. Hopefully it will contain lots of the gothic chant music like the original.

For some reason when i was 6 this movie scared me. If done well this could actually benefit from a facelift.

This movie looks like a complete turd! Why didn't they just call it Fast And The Furious 2083 and toss that same cast of talentless hacks in it(even though,this batch of actors looks almost as clueless?!)Disgraceful.

Sci-Fi channel prem-...god damnit...

"Children of the Cream Corn." Oh man, will my supernaturally clever sense of humor ever cease to amaze me?

I was wondering what became of Borchers. He hasn't done a film in quite a long time.

A REMAKE for SCI-FI!? Hahaha what a waste of money...why not just do another damn sequel!? If a movie is going to get remade is to make money!

Ewwww it's for Sci-Fi!? I was hopeful, not so much anymore.

Sci Fi Channel = Crap = All Hopes Lost for Children of the Corn Remake

I was happy until I saw "Sci-Fi Channel premiere". This could do so well in theaters and they decide to premiere it on a digital cable channel? Bad move on their part.

if its going to be made for tv its gonna suck hard. a real revamp would make this a remake worth watching. anything less makes it another in a long line of worthless remakes. ie black christmas, prom night, the eye, ect

What do SciFi stand for, "Science Fiction". Horror and SciFi don't mix, example "Jason X".

Hmm....sounds like "somebody" didn't see Alien. Or The Fly. Or The Thing. Or....

Of course the two genres mix. All it takes is an imagination.

Exactly, Harold. It's just that I don't see a whole lot of imagination with this. Or anywhere on the SciFi channel for that matter.

Oh..hehe, great, like Sci-Fi Channel needs yet another crappy feature film. Bejeezus, I guess we all know what to expect with this one. There will probably be(at the very most) ONE washed up star present, perhaps Rob Lowe or Richard Grieco. The leading female actress will be some playboy-looking chick with big boobies, yet no acting talent. You're going to have poorly written dialog that sounds dry and unrealistic, not to mention HIDEOUS jokes(up there with what Shannon and Swift did for FvJ, sadly). In short, a movie of Uwe Boll-caliber. And while the concept has always been interesting, I don't think the orignal is kinda funny now that I look back at it. Yeah, it was bad, almost unintentionally comedic. I remember watching I Love The 80s and they had that guys saying, "Don't STOP!! The CORN KIDS KILL PEOPLE!!".

I'll still watch it. I love the original as well as parts 2, 4 and 6. The original was low budget and it seems this will be as well. So it could work. I have faith it will atleast be better than a bad sequel. And it's a different type of film than what usually premieres on SCI-FI channel. Sci-Fi had some decent films premiere (Abominable, Return of The Living Dead 4&5, Pumpkinhead 4&5 and Puppet Master Vs. Demonic Toys) so atleast they are trying to keep the old-skool horror trend alive. I don't see anyone else willing to update these franchises. I'm happy as long as I get to see it.

I think this could work but scifi come on if any recent movie deserved scifi that would be Prom Night.

ohhh oy... a scifi premier.....

I would love to see some of King's creepier stories come to the screen or if they insist...sci fi channel...Rose Madder and Geralds Game would be great additions. Remake people need to read more, there are a lot of great novels and short stories that they could use as clearly the mind is dry. I think a Dark Tower series would go down well on TV. I didnt think Children of the corn needed a remake it had the creeps and Linda Hamilton, flawless!

Sweet! They're going to go along with the book.

Like SlasherFreak said, this is going to be doomed. I wouldn't make a big deal out of it. It'll end up like the Poseidon Adventure with tons of TV remakes and only barely-decent remake that made some money. It'll be forgotten soon after the "premiere."

i loved the original and enjoyed most of the sequels. if they could get john franklin ( the original Isaac) to do a cameo i would be sold

Sounds KooL to me

This couldn't be worse than the second one.

I smell cheap bullshit on the way

Everyone is so quick to jump on the "it's gonna be crap" bandwagon. Anchor Bay is producing this people. They have always turned out good quality products.

wow another remake the orginal i didnt really like but its good that their remaking it ill be sure to check it out

I'm sick of saying how sick I am of remakes.

Considering how bad the first movie was, and how atrocious the sequels were, there's a good shot this one might actually be decent.

Oh no! Sci-Fi! damn it! looks like I wont be wasting my time on this! I'm one of the very few who loved the original! Malichai was bad ass! OUTLANDER!

loved the original think this deserves a chance at least and come on it is anchor bay always good at horror

wouldnt mind seein this remake. the first one scared the crap out of me too. still to this day freaky movie. i liked the one (iforget which part it might of been the third) with the crhistie clark (the old carrie from days in it). that john franklin one messed up kid...wonder what ever happened to him.....hopefully there arent anymore floods in iowa like there was down there these past few days....correct me if i am wrong, but the first one stared linda hamilton right? wonder who they will try and cast. atleast the original producer will be back for the remake.

Too bad east central Iowa isn't going to have any corn this year. That whole side of the state is flooded and there probably won't be any crops. Children of the Flooded Plains: The Return!!!

Good idea, wrong director..

Oh Dear.... A Sci-Fi remake?! Noooo. Sci-Fi films seem to be the most horrifically unbearable peices of "art" ever to come across the eyes of this planet! Excuse my dramatics, but it just does not sound like a good thing to me, I mean, the original was amazing, and could be absolutely wonderful, like end of-all-creation good, but thats not going to happen with Sci-Fi, and if it does, more power to them, I give them my best wishes and luck, lots and lots of luck.

So, I'm gonna hear about a new remake every single day from now on i guess.

I hate how sci fi makes all these horror remakes and sequels first it was Puppet Master VS Demonic Toys and ROTLD and Pumpkin Head and Species this movie would ACTUALLY make money if it was to be a theatrical release

It will be good see this movie get an upgrade. Not sure if it will be a good upgrade though.

sounds like i'm gonna need a couple cases of beer for this one... or i could use my time wisely and shoot rats at the dump

I wish they would stop this. Children of the corn is a classic. it is good and they did real good with what was available. The movie was so ahead of its time with the opening scene. Remakes don't need to occur and just because hollywood can't think does not mean that we have to watch the same movies with a different idea and different actors. Some are good but they should stop and find a new idea.

egad the original was pretty awful, except for the overwhelming camp factor. im all in for a remake i just wish it wasnt a made for cable movie. they should try to get a decent director and cast for a real-deal remake. i feel like hollywood owes us one after that awful 'day of the dead" travesty of a remake.

For all of the pieces that have been re-made in hopes of either improving them, or to introduce them to a younger generation, Children of the Corn certainly is not one in need of a re-creation. I am a huge fan of the original, so I will see the newer version, don't get me wrong; but a masterpiece needs not be touched in my opinion. I love the old, gritty film style camera shot, like the original Texas Chainsaw, or any classic horror film. I want 'he who walks behind the rose' not he who walks in front of the green screen.

Children....of the Corn Flakes. SciFi puts out some serious garbage, and I don't think there's any way that their remake/version can be as scary, gory, or suspenseful as the film needs to be. Even if they follow the original King story, or have a great script, it'll be the same kind of PG13 pablum that we usually get fed every summer at the theaters...with a smaller budget. SUCK.

here's hoping they make it well.

I think it could be good, not sure about it being on SciFi channel though. I guess we'll have to see.

how stupid SCI-FI channel is remaling this , HORRIBLE just like they fucked up house of the dead, lake placid, pumpkin head, and now children of the corn?????? when will it stop?

Any King movie without King's input usually sucks. I think he might know something as to what makes things scary. SciFi channel, don't get me wrong, i love their programs but they put out like a movie a week. The only way to afford that is to skimp (sp?) on a few things like actors who can carry a line, or sets that are believable. I haven't seen a movie of theirs yet that didn't suck so i have no hope for this one. But like usual i'm a sucker for cheesey horror crap so ill watch it but i wont enjoy myself... probably.

I can't wait!!!

Hey I heard your asking for people and settings from eastern Iowa, I have the perfect old farm house with a couple old dilapidated barns. I have about 10 acres of corn along the cedar river in a little town Moscow, Iowa.. contact me if intrested.. 14 and a half acre farm house on dead end road. twooccull45@yahoo.com or send me a message..

This film will be overseen by Stephen King. He wants it made because he did not like the original movie, it had some "nice children" in it. He promises there will be no nice children in this one. It will have a goth-like tone, that is why my daughter has been selected to be in it. We have plenty of corn in eastern Iowa (Not east-central Iowa, like has been descibed here earlier) Much of the fiming will take place in and atound Wilton and Davenport. Filming begins Tues. Sept. 2nd. It wil;l be released on DVD after the premier on Sci-Fi and will be shown first run in Europe. Give this movie a chance. It might be better than what you are used to from Sci-Fi.

im in this movie as an extra from lost nation, iowa (where alot of it was filmed). its going to be 100 times gorier than the first one!
