Like the Amityville movies, there can never be enough CoC. Maybe they will run out of ideas soon and have to make one in outer space. Growing corn on the moon. Great drive in movies if they still exist.
Yeah, the fact that it took years to find a distributor told me everything I needed to know about it.
Author of The Road to the Dark Tower, Stephen King: A Complete Exploration of His Work, Life, and Influences and The Dark Tower Companion. Co-editor with Stephen King of the anthology Flight or Fright.
I doubt an Oscar nomination was ever contemplated by the makers of a Children of the Corn movie. There is a good kind of bad movie. Uncle Stevie cashed the check either way.
Well, King probably do not get any check for it given he sold the rights of the title many moons ago.
And that's what the studios are using.
Also the reason why the studios rushed to film a version during the pandemic and did a small release in Sarasota just before they were losing the rights I believe
But why spending money to keep the rights if the movie shite behind?

I know what you are referring to (regarding the american rights to "Dead Zone", "Cujo", "Creepshow", "Cat's eye", "Firestarter" and "Children of the corn"), but I am not 100% sure he is getting anything directly related to that movie
To be confirmed or denied, I am still convinced that the studios rushed to do that movie and release it before a deadline back in 2020

The bluray release announced in may made me look back at it
Joseph Maddrey is quite clear about it in his book "Adapting Stephen King - vol 2"
As I was convinced, he says that the termination date on King's notice to get his rights back was october 31, 2020
So it's definitely no wonder that they shot the movie during the pandemic and did a small release of 2 sessions in Sarasota a week before that.
Which means, I guess, that King is getting no money from that movie. But that's the very last one they are able to do without his approval. Meaning very likely the last one
