Things are bound to get a little scary in the Quad Cities next month when Donald Borchers, director and producer of a remake of the 1983 horror movie “Children of the Corn” begins filming.

According to David Burke of the Quad City Times, Borchers chose the Quad Cities after receiving a recommendation from Tom Wheeler, manager of the film office in the Iowa Department of Economic Development.

“My needs are quite simple. I need corn,” Borchers said. “And I understand you have that throughout the state.”

The original film, based on a Stephen King novella, was shot in the Sioux City area. Many who have come to view the film as a cult classic will want to know that Borchers plans to have the remake — especially in terms of the previously watered-down ending — remain more true to King’s writings.

The film will be shot in September and is expected to air on the Sci-Fi Channel next year and in European theaters. Since 1938, more than 100 films have been shot in Iowa.
