According to Variety, Anchor Bay and The Sci-Fi Channel are teaming up to remake the 1984 horror film "Children of the Corn" to be written and directed by the original's producer, Donald P. Borchers.
While the original is quite cheesy to watch now, I don't hold out much hope for this redo because of The Sci-Fi Channel's involvement. Their original movies are, more often than not, poorly-made and corny (but not in the fun way). Witness Lake Placid 2, a film that dumped all of the sly charm of the first film and replaced it with dead seriousness and a CGI airplane that we saw WAY too much of. Nonetheless, I hold out a sliver of hope that Anchor Bay's involvement will aid the quality of their "Children of the Corn" remake.
