Recently, a new trailer for the remake version of “Firestarter” has been exposed. In the trailer, a story about a girl with superpowers was shown.
The whole trailer is shrouded in a horror mash-up superhero movie atmosphere, which is very entertaining.
Judging from the overall performance of the trailer, “Firestarter” will not be a pure horror film, but has evolved into a superhero movie in the new era.
Especially in the second half of the trailer, the little girl had to use her “superpower” to defeat the aggressor in order to protect herself and her family from harm, which is no different from a superhero movie.
“Firestarter” is adapted from Stephen King’s novel of the same name, and the story takes place in an ordinary family.
Andy and Vicky were a couple who took part in an experiment to make money by taking a chemical called Lot-6.
Then, their child, Charlie, has the ability to set things on fire with her own will.
Then, the government sent agents to hunt them down. What the government didn’t expect was that Andy and Vicky possessed super powers that could help them get out of the hunt, and a big battle was about to unfold.
From a storyline perspective, the film is a perfect fit for a modern Hollywood remake. Elements such as superpowers, chases, government conspiracy theories, etc. will all appear in the film.
Ten years ago, Hollywood had prepared to remake this film. In the plan at that time, Universal Pictures was going to continue to tell the story of the little girl Charlie, but it failed for various reasons.
Currently, “Firestarter” is scheduled to be released in North America on May 13 and simultaneously launched.
