JOE HARRIS & CORN SEQUEL
Darkness Falls scribe Joe Harris told MovieHole that theres little movement on his Children of the Corn sequel, but that hes got some great ideas for it. Ive written the next installment of The Children of the Corn franchise for Dimension, Ive also been working on a slew of new horror and comic book-based movie projects that will cause a lot of my friends, fans and even enemies to raise an eyebrow. So whats the idea for Corn 8? Make it scary again. The original concept and story in Stephen Kings novella (which really did come across in the first film) is creepy as hell: children killing adults, for the glory of God (such as it is). I think kids are scary. They shouldnt be but they are, to adults. I want to get back to that exhilarating fear of being chased through the cornfields by scythe-wielding children. I want to bring out these childrens inner Lord of the Flies and get away from the neo-Amish vibe they give off. My children hunt in packs and pile on once they bring down their prey. They dont stop stabbing, ripping and tearing until youre dead. Then they feed you to the Corn God. This stuff should make you go, Holy fucking shit! It will, if I have my way.
Harris also touched upon a Darkness Falls sequel. Havent heard anything in a while. Its got to focus on the monster though, if they do it. All good sequels focus on the bad guy.
Meantime, Gareth from sknr.net talked to Cold Mountain scribe Charlie Hunnan about what hes got next on the cards. I am doing a film on Soccer Hooligans and I play the leader of the West Ham and I am fascinated by what I learned in research. It is amazing how organized it is and how fights can be arranged before the matches as well as a code of conduct. There is some good comedy in it as well. Elijah Wood, Tommy Flannigan are in it as well. I will do Robert Townes new film after that as well with Colin Farrell and Selma Hayek.
