Perhaps it's in release limbo. The rights to the first film seeing as it is fairly notorious due to the ending, are perhaps too expensive for a smaller label to pick up.

It might have been in 1983, but in 2015, is the ending still such a surprise?

It should be as much a surprise as The Crying Game,, The Sixth Sense, The Usual Suspects or Citizen Kane!

With all due respect, I guessed what was going on in those films from a) the trailer and b) during the film

I knew the twist in 'The Crying Game', because someone I worked with blabbed! Was it a shock to me? Yes, I suppose it was, but that was back in 1992. It's now over 20 years later, and this kind of thing is passe

'Citizen Kane' - I was so bored by the end of the film, I really didn't care what it was all about!!

I've just watched a preview version of The Life, Legacy and Legend of Don Borchers (the documentary which will be on the Children of the Corn set). It's a comprehensive look at the career (so far) of someone about whom I knew very little with some illuminating and occasionally very funny stories about films he had a hand in making in his various roles, whether it's as an accountant, producer or director. The contributions from people he worked with are very honest, so punches aren't pulled just because it's a documentary about him – Corey Feldman is very honest about Meatballs 4, for example.

Jim Kunz has done a really good job with directing and conducting the interviews (they were organised by by Calum Waddell, who conceived, developed and co-produced the documentary), and Naomi Holwill did her usual fantastic job with editing about 15 hours of footage down to make an 84 minute documentary. It's going to be a terrific addition to the set (even though the Children of the Corn part is only one segment) of a thorough look at a fantastic character and hugely influential producer.

Actually, if it was the feature length documentary about Don Borchers and Children of the Corn, it wouldn't be half as interesting or entertaining – the highlight for me was about another film altogether!

88 have put out a couple of code red things already though! US rights aren't worldwide rights
