As you might have already guess, this is a casting call for the
upcoming remake (which will be making it debut on the Sci-Fi channel).
According to the QC Times, a remake of the 1983 Stephen King horror
movie CHILDREN OF THE CORN will invade the Quad-Cities next month.
Although this is going back to the beginning, this marks the 8th film in
the ongoing series. Shooting will take place most of September for the
movie, that will debut on cable television’s Sci-Fi Channel next year in
the United States and be distributed in theaters around Europe. Area
children will be interviewed Thursday through Monday for speaking
roles, featured roles and as background extras.
The remake is being written, directed and produced by Donald
Borchers, a producer on the original movie, which was filmed in the
Sioux City, Iowa, area and spawned numerous sequels. Borchers said
he chose the Quad-Cities after receiving a recommendation from Tom
Wheeler, manager of the Iowa Film Office in the state Department of
Economic Development. Unfortunately, this is all the info we have on
the project, but we'll be sure to keep you updated.
