    In a new adaptation of Stephen King’s classic thriller from the producers of The Invisible Man, a girl with extraordinary pyrokinetic powers fights to protect her family and herself from sinister forces that seek to capture and control her.
    For more than a decade, parents Andy (Zac Efron; Extremely Wicked, Shockingly Evil and Vile; The Greatest Showman) and Vicky (Sydney Lemmon; Fear the Walking Dead, Succession) have been on the run, desperate to hide their daughter Charlie (Ryan Kiera Armstrong; American Horror Story: Double Feature, The Tomorrow War) from a shadowy federal agency that wants to harness her unprecedented gift for creating fire into a weapon of mass destruction.
    Andy has taught Charlie how to defuse her power, which is triggered by anger or pain. But as Charlie turns 11, the fire becomes harder and harder to control. After an incident reveals the family’s location, a mysterious operative (Michael Greyeyes; Wild Indian, Rutherford Falls) is deployed to hunt down the family and seize Charlie once and for all. Charlie has other plans.
    The film also stars Kurtwood Smith (Amityville: The Awakening, Hitchcock), John Beasley (The Purge: Anarchy, The Sum of All Fears) and Gloria Reuben (Lincoln, Mr. Robot). The Firestarter score is composed by the legendary John Carpenter (Halloween, Christine, The Fog) and his fellow Halloween franchise composers Cody Carpenter and Daniel Davies.
    Directed by Keith Thomas (The Vigil), from a screenplay by Scott Teems (Halloween Kills) based on the novel by Stephen King, Firestarter is produced by Jason Blum (Halloween, The Invisible Man) for Blumhouse and Oscar® winner Akiva Goldsman (I Am Legend, Constantine) for Weed Road Pictures. The film’s executive producers are Ryan Turek, Gregory Lessans, Scott Teems, Martha De Laurentiis, J.D. Lifshitz and Raphael Margules.

      The internet has accelerated the perception of time. There's so much information and we're constantly informed about things. Zac is already 34 years old. In the 80s he'd be expected to be a parent to around 3 kids already but Zac is a millennial. Millennials are an entirely different generation of young adults many of which choose to be childless and single.

    I can’t believe Zac Efron is old enough that he can start playing “mature aged”/“age appropriate” father Roles 😭😭😱😱 lol but this looks so friggging good
    (Edited to add “mature aged” and “age appropriate”because some people are idiots and don’t seem to understand what I’m saying)
    Just to clarify cause people seem to be confused i’m not saying that it’s weird to see him be a dad If you read my comment I never said that it was weird I think it’s really cool that he is now in movies where he plays a dad I think it’s really fun I love when my favourite actresses and actors play parents especially if they don’t have kids themselves you get to see a different side of them come out thanks for all the likes and comments tho This is my most popular comment ever

Anyone not familiar with the backstory behind the original Firestarter movie and John Carpenter’s “almost” involvement should go check it out. Screenrant has an excellent write-up on it. John Carpenter’s involvement in this is truly a very cool moment in the name of MOVIE JUSTICE. Happy to see Blumhouse made this happen !

      I am not a fan of remakes, but if it keeps the momentum/acting going, this looks like it can do the book justice! Many people dismiss Zac Efron because of the Disney ties, but he can really immerse himself in roles, so I think he might pull it off nicely. The young actress was impressive in these previews, so I'm actually a bit excited to see how this gets pulled off.
      Kids made fun of me because I had been reading since I was 18 months old, so I spent my 3rd grade reading classes in the back of the classroom reading Carrie, Firestarter, Tommyknockers, and It, and those were the books that allowed me to escape it all. Firestarter is such a great book!

Instead of starting off with them on the run, they showed what happened leading up to it. I liked that it incorporates both her parent’s abilities too. And the scene involving Essie was moving. I do wish she had saved Irv from the shop on his front lawn like the original but you can’t please everyone. Originals will always be the best. Much better remake than the Pet Sematary remake.

      She probably doesn't have a huuuuuuuuge ego or hired an even bigger PR dept telling her how wonderful an actor and God's gift to the world she is.
      I guess?

    Can't wait to see what they do with the Charlie burning down The Shop sequence because that scene was so badass in the original, especially the music.

    Want to watch this at some point. Read the book over a hundred times. I wonder if this version will include all of Charlie's powers (in the book she has aspects of both her parents' original powers (psychic influence/mind reading and telekinesis).

      This is considered horror...it's Stephen King. Consider this...you have a girl glaring at you, screaming bloody murder as her hair flies around and she sends a giant, lethal wall of scorching heat and flames at you. That, my friend, would be horrifying, and that my friend, would give you nightmares if you survived it. It's horror. And lets not forget that she doesn't want to hurt anyone, but...hmmm...on second thought she kind of likes it.

    I was out for a walk one day and unknowingly happened upon the shoot for this movie, the exterior of the school. The fire truck could be from the local FD but whether the firefighters are extras or actual FD members I don't know. Our firefighters don't have names one their gear.
