RJLE and Shudder have grabbed the U.S. rights to Eli Craig’s latest film, Clown in a Cornfield, according to a report on Deadline. Clown in a Cornfield tells the story of “A maniacal clown embarks on a bloody rampage in a small Midwestern town.”
The film stars Katie Douglas (Ginny & Georgia), Carson MacCormac (Shazam!), Aaron Abrams (Hannibal), Will Sasso (The Three Stooges), and Kevin Durand (Abigail).
The movie is based on Adam Cesare’s Clown in a Cornfield novel which was released in 2020.
Stated RLJE’s Chief Acquisition Officer Mark Ward, “Adam Cesare’s ‘Clown’ series has been on my radar for some time now, and we are pumped to bring Eli Craig’s harrowing, savage, heart-pounding adaptation to the big screen in 2025.”
Said Craig, “I’m thrilled to partner with RLJE and Shudder to release this insanely fun, action, horror, comedy where we always wanted it to be seen — in theaters! As always in my movies, there’s a deeper theme about the collision of perspectives and ideals that leads to utter mayhem. It was fun in this one however, to let the horror thrills take the lead while the comedic absurdity that I can’t help but see in life, brings a bit of levity.”
