BURNING WITH EXCITEMENT! The Official Trailer for The Stephen King Book-to-Movie Adaptation 'Firestarter' Starring Zac Efron is FINALLY Here!
The official trailer for Firestarter is FINALLY here, and we are burning up with excitement!
Firestarter is a book by the massively successful thriller-horror writer Stephen King. This is the next film ready to join the ranks of his successful book-to-movie adaptations alongside It, Carrie, The Invisible Man, and many others. Firestarter chronicles the story of, according to the official description, "a girl with extraordinary prokinetic powers," who, "fights to protect her family and herself from sinister forces that seek to capture and control her."
The movie already blazes with the brilliance of an impeccable cast including Zac Efron, Sydney Lemmon, Ryan Kiera Armstrong, Michael Greyeyes, Kurtwood Smith, John Beasley, and Gloria Ruben. In the trailer we already see this cast coming together to create a perfect ambiance of protection and horror. We see parents Andy, played by Efron, and Vicky, played by Lemmon, working hard to help their daughter to no avail.
Stephen King himself is looking forward to this adaptation and has a great amount of faith in the cast and the crew. Back in 2021, Bev Vinicent tweeted out, "'Firestarter' remake starring Zac Efron to film in Hamilton, Ontario next month." Stephen King retweeted the post and made his own addition. "I'm sending cast and crew a hunka hunka burning love."

We must take a moment to applaud the writer's whimsical reference to the Elvis Presley song while calling back to the film itself with the word, "burning"!
We can't wait to see Firestarter when it comes to theaters on May 13th.
