Official Casting for Children of the Corn

Today THR has confirmed that David Anders, Kandyse McClure, Preston Bailey and Daniel Newman are on board for the SciFi Channel remake of Children of the Corn. This movie really sounds too bad to be true. I still can't believe that a classic film like Children of the Corn is getting a second rate remake like this.

The movie, based on the Stephen King novel, features Anders (NBC's "Heroes") and McClure (Sci Fi's "Battlestar Galactica") as Burt and Vicky, a couple with marital problems whose attempt at a  second-honeymoon driving trip ends up taking them into a seemingly deserted rural community that conceals a grim secret among its rows of tall corn. Bailey (Showtime's "Dexter") plays boy preacher Isaac, while Newman (NBC's "Surface") plays his rebellious right-hand man Malachai.
