Christopher Nolan’s upcoming sci-fi film Interstellar, starring Matthew McConaughey, Jessica Chastain, Anne Hathaway, Casey Affleck, and Matt Damon, is about as closely guarded a secret as any in Hollywood right now. But the Fort Macleod Gazette in Alberta, Canada, near where the movie is being filmed, has a kernal of info. Literally. In an on-set report published on their website, they state the plot description of the film as thus: “Set in the future, the movie details the toll climate change has taken on agriculture, with corn the last crop to be cultivated. The scientists embark on a journey through a worm hole into other dimensions in search of somewhere other crops can be grown.”
So the plot of the much-anticipated follow-up to Nolan’s Dark Knight Trilogy and Inception hinges on corn? Apparently so. But corn doesn’t just pop. It has a history of making for good pop culture as well. Here are 10 examples of corn in movies, TV, and music for which we’ve been all ears. (Sorry, we couldn’t resist.)
