Stars: Kate Moyer, Elena Kampouris, Jayden McGinlay, Callan Mulvey, Bruce Spence | Written and Directed by Kurt Wimmer
The film Children of the Corn, based on the Stephen King short story, spawned a franchise of considerable durability, but rather dubious quality. The first film was released in 1984 and the series sputtered to a halt in 2018 after the tenth entry, Children of the Corn: Runaway. But nothing ever really dies in the corn and two years later Children of the Corn got its second reboot following the TV version in 2009.
Or rather a reboot was written and directed by Kurt Wimmer. Wimmer who has directed Equilibrium and Ultraviolet is no stranger to reboots having written the new versions of Point Break, The Thomas Crown Affair and Total Recall. But after filming it seemed to disappear back into the cornfields for three years of vague mentions of release dates that came and went.

Hey, Zendaya: Is your Emmy speech ready yet? You’re gonna need it.
The “Euphoria” superstar currently finds herself in first place in Gold Derby’s odds for Best Drama Actress, and for good reason. The 26-year-old actress is already an Emmy favorite, winning the last time she was eligible for her role of drug-addicted, bipolar teen Rue Bennett. But if you look at the predictions of Gold Derby’s Experts, Editors and Users, some of them are instead throwing their support elsewhere. Are they going to miss an easy category? Below, see my four reasons why I think Zendaya will win her second Emmy.
SEEEmmy nominee profile: Zendaya (‘Euphoria’) could become 2nd youngest 2-time acting winner ever
1. Emmy episode submission
In this current era of Emmy voting, TV academy members can vote for a category without necessarily having watched all of the episode submissions — though they’re supposed to.
