first trailer for new Children of the Corn


Recommended Posts

It's such a shame what happened to writer/director Kurt Wimmer's career. He wrote and directed Equilibrium in 2002, which still holds up as a great action movie today (in a unique way different than martial arts flicks or John Wick-style stuff), and then in 2006 the studio completely cuts to ribbons his next film, Ultraviolet, which he also wrote and directed. He's been in writer/director jail ever since, and this (probably low budget and bad) Children of the Corn reboot is his first written and directed film since Ultraviolet? Ouch.

 

This guy wrote the screenplays to successful films like The Thomas Crown Affair (Pierce Brosnan), Law Abiding Citizen and Salt (Angelina Jolie). But since Salt in 2010 he's been a script for hire guy, writing the screenplays to the awful Point Break remake in 2015 and another bad horror film like Children of the Corn with a film called Spell in 2020. I really wanted to see this guy succeed after Equilibrium and Ultraviolet but I don't see that happening now.

the original is a guilty pleasure, but as I said this doesn't wow me. Ever since the massive success of It there has been a rush to once again cash in on King's work

Right. I totally forgot they did Pet Sematary again as well, what a waste that was. I don't really like any of them though I admit.
