For those of you excited for Sci Fi Channel's remake of Children of the Corn, today the Sci Fi Wire caught up with Kandyse ("Battlestar Galactica") McClure who plays Dualla in the film written and directed by original producer Donald P. Borchers. Read on for some bits and pieces about her role and to see what type of film she thinks this is.

What hurt the most about the interview was when McClure explained that the remake won't be that violent (damn TV movies!). "Well, violent ..., I don't actually think it's going to be that violent, in terms of what you actually see happening, kind of graphic violence," she tells Sci Fi Wire. "I think we're trying for the psychological thriller, for the implied violence. It is pretty gory. I have to say there's a lot of blood. There's definitely a lot of blood. But the stuff with the kids is really what creeps me out. It creeped me out watching it on set, and I imagine after they've rendered and doctored it and put the music in that it'll be even more disturbing. But there is a lot of gore. Not so much as the Saws or The Texas Chainsaw Massacres, but for Children of the Corn there was a lot of fake blood on set." But there is hope that we'll see a more violent cut on DVD. "As far as I know, I think that was the plan. Donald had spoken about a possible overseas theatrical release. So there were certain shots that, yeah, there was the Disney version—the TV version—and the theatrical version of what it was going to be." In the remake former Vietnam vet BURT's marriage to VICKY is on the rocks, but Burt hopes to rekindle their old flame with a second honeymoon driving trip. Unfortunately, their journey takes them into the heart of darkness -- a seemingly deserted rural community that conceals a grim secret among its rows of tall corn...
