In 2020, during theCOVID-19 pandemic,Foster decided to isolate the entire cast and crew in a small town in Australia during production of a horror film based on a short story, "Children of the Corn" byStephen King.Included in the crew were a doctor, nurse and paramedic. Everyone was required to fill out health questionnaires at the start and end of each day. All surfaces were kept sanitized, and temperatures were taken every day. Foster said that the additional precautions to protect everyone from the virus added about 20 percent to the original $10 million budget for the film.[7]
