The End For The Children Of The Corn?

Posted: August 31, 2017, 07:15

Bloody Disgusting reports that King will have regained full rights to his stories The Dead Zone, Cujo, Creepshow, Children of the Corn, Cat’s Eye and Firestarter next September.

If this means there will be no more Children of the Corn movies we can only speculate but my guess is that it won't. Also they will need to speed up the work in the remake of Firestarter and Cujo if they are going to make it in time. It's probably better that they don't though...

Thanks to Lou Sytsma.

Cujo to return in 2013

Posted: April 12, 2013, 01:40

Looks like Cujo will be back in 2013 just like Carrie...

SUNN CLASSIC ANNOUNCES CUJO FOR 2013

Lang Elliott, President & CEO of Sunn Classic Pictures, Inc., announced that Sunn plans to produce the remake of “CUJO” this year representing the 30th Anniversary since Sunn produced and distributed the original “CUJO” motion picture in l983, based upon Stephen King’s novel. The l983 version was highly successful at the worldwide box-office and, compared with today’s inflation and higher ticket prices, the box-office would be well over $225 million even without ancillary sales (i.e., DVD, cable, free television, pay-per-view, etc.).

“CUJO” is the story of a large, playful St. Bernard dog that is transformed into a hideous killing machine after being infected by rabies. Donna Trenton’s car is on the fritz, and she and her son take her ailing automobile to their mechanic. Upon their arrival, the car stalls and refuses to restart. The mechanic fails to appear so Donna searches for him. The transformed, maniacal “CUJO” reveals himself; he is highly agitated and very aggressive. Donna hardly recognizes this filthy, monstrous creature foaming at the mouth. Suddenly “CUJO” charges Donna, who barely makes it back into the car for protection. Trapped with her son and the windows rolled up, the sweltering heat begins to take its toll. “CUJO’s” powerful state of insanity and violence await.
