Nah, I Don't Think So...

So in the parade of remakes that's coming from Hollywood, we'll soon get that new version of Children of the Corn that absolutely everyone has been clamoring for (the subject has dominated most of my conversations for the past twenty-five years, and you may remember how both major political parties began including a Corn remake demand in their platforms with the 1988 election cycle).

Bob Weinstein of The Weinstein Company says writer Ehren Kruger will bring a fresh vision to the Stephen King short story that was the source material. Specifically, Weinstein says, "We are bringing something new to the story."

Where's Joe Wilson when you need him? I doubt with every fiber of every being that has ever existed or will ever exist, Mr. Weinstein, that your production will bring anything new to either the story itself, the original crappy movie or anything involving movies in general.
