Barbara Nedeljakova and Billy Drago cast in CHILDREN OF THE CORN: THE DWELLER

Children of the Corn: The Dweller has cast Barbara Nedeljakova and Billy Drago in the latest installment of the horror franchise. Children of the Corn: The Dweller is directed by Joel Soisson and will also star Kelen Coleman and Tim Rock. Children of the Corn: The Dweller‘s plot synopsis: “Tim (Tim  Rock) and Allie (Kelen Coleman) are heading out of LA and into the very warm California desert environs to see Tim’s father. The car overheats and they are forced to stay overnight at the home of a questionable couple (Barbara Nedeljakova and Billy Drago) and their young child…” I’m in. I have not seen a Children of the Corn film in theater for some time so I am guessing this will be a STV. Also of note is the casting description for the film:

TIM: Handsome, mid 20s, a leading man with a hint of weakness. He is newly married with a baby on the way. He is a good guy and he means well. He is just not going to be able to win this fight.

ALLIE: mid 20s. Lovely, newly married and in the first trimester of her first pregnancy. She is not afraid of controversy, and a strong willed woman. She will fight for what is right when necessary. She is just not used to losing the fight…

HELEN: mid 20s – 30. A beautiful, Russian/Eastern-European woman with a serious bag of secrets. Helen is a very sexual character and there will be frontal nudity required to play this role.

PREACHER: – late 50s. Creepy. He is a powerful man and filled with religious zealotry. Is he able to save this young couple before the evil envelops them, or is he the truly evil one?

LITTLE BOY: – 3-6 yrs old. Caucasian. This boy needs to look SCARY to the audience, and the young actor should have the ability to wear makeup and a wig for long periods of time. He should have very pale skin and large eyes. He is odd, haunted, skinny, maligned, scary, stringy haired, not sure what but there is a certain haunted, quiet SOMETHING about him. This character speaks no lines, and this is a role that is considered a featured extra role, but I am looking to cast this role.

PRITCHETT: – A local tow truck driver. Folksy, with a quick charm, but with a surprisingly worldly intelligence. The ability to speak Russian would be a definite plus.

It seems as though the casting for Helen was spot on and as Hostel fans will remember, Barbara Nedeljakova is no neophyte when it comes to on-screen nudity. Billy Drago (“DAAAADDDY” – The Hills Have Eyes remake) will cake-walk playing Preacher. Filming for Children of the Corn: The Dweller is underway in Louisiana.
