'Children of the Corn' Harvests New Cast Members!
The remake of the 1984 Stephen King-inspired screamfest Children of the Corn has added a few more disciples to its cast, according to the Hollywood Reporter, and though they?re all young actors, each is already a seasoned genre vet. Heroes? David Anders, Battlestar Galactica?s Kandyse McClure, Dexter?s Preston Bailey and the upcoming Cirque du Freak?s Daniel Newman have boarded the film, which is set to air on Sci-Fi sometime next year and is currently in production, shooting in and around the city of Davenport, Iowa. Anders and McClure will portray Burt and Vicky, a couple with marital problems whose attempt at a second honeymoon in the form of a driving trip takes them into a seemingly deserted rural community that conceals a grim secret among its rows of tall corn. Bailey and Newman will play residents of the strange town (word on the street is that Bailey is the new Isaac!). The remake will be written and directed by Donald P. Borchers?a.k.a. our front runner for this year?s ?worst name ever awards.?
