Nope, the entire point of children of the corn was that it was a deeply religious, extremely rural town. The photo of the remake alone shows that they are probably going to completely ignore that aspect and make it lord of the flies with genderqueers instead.
Probably going to be like your summary. Pretty easy to predict woke screenwriting
Very funny but very sad.
So they're really making Running Wild by JG Ballard rather than Children of the Corn.
Funny film - good males, - funny parts + woke narrative straight from CNN and NBC = Woke 2020 movies +
Maybe the black kids'll be the sacrificial lambies.
Who is making the remake? But in general I have very little faith in remakes to be faithful to original show or books (in cases of adaptations)
One might say it's not a remake since it's just another adaptation (and a prequel apparently).
From what I remember from the original story, it was only like 10 to maybe 20 pages at most. Unless them kids (who don't even appear at all until like over half into the story) have been explicitly described as an Aryan Brotherhood of preschoolers, I don't even know what's the fucking problem.
ITT: There are no "deeply religious, extremely rural" blax in America (Australia??).
In the Midwest? No. Black people make up 8% of the rural population and it’s all southern and east coast rural. You could easily look at the black population spread and see this. There’s more of an argument to be made for native Americans in the rural Midwest than black people.
14 Words: We must secure the racial purity of killer children barely even described by author
This is such a sad misnomer of an argument. 1. Stephen King is egregiously racist in his writing, he makes damn sure you know if anyone is black. 2. The “there could be black people in Midwest farming town in the mid 70s” argument you make is the equivalent of saying “We wuz kangs”. It’s an ambiguous statement that flies in the face of reality.
From looking at the screen shot, I literally thought this must be a Lord of the Flies remake, and was wondering why there was corn on the island.
