Unbeknownst to us, it looks like Kurt Wimmer‘s new take on Stephen King‘s Children of the Corn, filmed with safety protocols in place during the pandemic, has already been released in theaters, arriving in *two* Sarasota, Florida locations over the weekend!

Brought to our attention by Club Stephen King and the Herald-Tribute, the film is currently playing at the CMX CinéBistro and Burns Court Cinema, both theaters located in Sarasota.

We even have a plot synopsis courtesy of the Sarasota Film Society, as well as poster art and a first-look image which both come courtesy of AtomTickets.com.

In Wimmer’s movie, which is said to have very little to do with King’s novel, “A psychopathic twelve-year-old girl in a small town in Nebraska recruits all the other children and goes on a bloody rampage, killing the corrupt adults and anyone else who opposes her. A bright high schooler who won’t go along with the plan, is the town’s only hope of survival.”

The new film’s cast includes Elena Kampouris (Before I Fall), Kate Moyer (“When Hope Calls”), Callan Mulvey (Avengers: Endgame) and Bruce Spence (The Road Warrior).

The plan here is to expand to more theaters in the coming weeks.
