'Firestarter' Is the Latest Stephen King Movie Getting a Remake
Add "TV series of "The Mist" are already headed our way.
The 1984 version of "Firestarter" starred Drew Barrymore as a young girl with pyrokinetic abilities who's abducted by the government because -- of course -- they want to use her as a weapon. It was the third film for Barrymore, who was nine when the movie opened. It got terrible reviews (it's got a 39% rating on Rotten Tomatoes) so a remake could actually be better.
THR reports that Stephanie," premiered. It stars Anna Torv ("Fringe") and Frank Grillo as parents who take in an orphaned girl with unworldly powers.
Goldsman's directorial resumé is slim, but he's also produced big movies including "Paranormal Activity" films, I, Robot."
