About Children of the Corn Movie:
Children of the Corn is the third adaptation of Stephen King’s short story “Children of the Corn” (1977) and the eleventh installment in the Children of the Corn series. It is the first film based on King’s story to be theatrically released since Children of the Corn II: The Final Sacrifice (1992).
In 2020, the project was announced to be a remake of Children of the Corn. Producer Lucas Foster later elaborated that it was going to be a new adaptation to King’s story with “almost nothing to do with” the 1984 film.
Principal photography began in New South Wales in April 2020, at the beginning of the COVID-19 pandemic, and wrapped that June.
The visual effects were produced by Digital Domain, who also executive produced.
Children of the Corn premiered in Sarasota, Florida on October 23, 2020. The film was originally scheduled to be released theatrically in fall 2022 but was pushed back.
