MOVIESBlumhouse’s New Adaptation of Stephen King’s ‘Firestarter’ Rated “R” for Violent ContentPublished 9 hours ago on January 12, 2022 By John Squires

From Universal, Blumhouse and director Keith Thomas (The Vigil), a brand new big screen take on Stephen King‘s Firestarter is on the way, and the official MPA rating has arrived.

Much like the 1984 adaptation, the new movie is rated “R” for “violent content.”

Here’s what we know about the new movie so far…

In Firestarter, “A young girl develops pyrokinetic abilities and is abducted by a secret government agency that wants to harness her powerful gift as a weapon.”

Ryan Kiera Armstrong (IT Chapter Two, “American Horror Story”) is playing Charlie in the new Stephen King adaptation, and Sydney Lemmon will be playing Charlie’s mother.

Zac Efron (Extremely Wicked), Michael Greyeyes (Blood Quantum), and Gloria Reuben (Lincoln, “Mr. Robot”) also star. Efron is playing the father of main character Charlie.

Firestarter has been adapted by writer Scott Teems (Halloween Kills, Rectify).


Jason Blum and Academy Award® winner Akiva Goldsman will produce. The late Martha De Laurentiis, who was an associate producer on the 1984 adaptation of Firestarter starring a young Drew Barrymore, executive produces the brand new movie. Firestarter reunites Goldsman and Blum, who have previously collaborated on the Paranormal Activity franchise.

With a good star cast lined up, hope this does not get f@:ked up

Dark Glasses’: Dario Argento’s Return to Giallo to World Premiere in Berlin!

We told you last month that Italian filmmaking legend Dario Argento, who hasn’t been behind the camera in a decade (Dracula 3D), is returning to his roots with the Rome-set Giallo thriller Dark Glasses, which is being handled at the ongoing AFM by Wild Bunch.

Now, we’ve learned this morning that the film will be having its World Premiere at the 72nd Berlin International Film Festival, running from February 10-20.

ScreenDaily previously shared the first-ever image of Ilenia Pastorelli as a prostitute blinded by a serial killer in a botched attack who takes in a young Chinese boy, whose life has also been abruptly altered forever by the maniac’s actions. He will become her ally in a terrifying struggle to see off the serial killer forever.

Pastorelli is joined in the cast by big-screen debutant Andrea Zhang as the young boy as well as Asia Argento (Land of the Dead) in a supporting role.

Argento is a horror titan, bringing 50 years of horror including masterworks The Bird with the Crystal Plumage, Deep Red, Suspiria, Tenebre, Phenomena, Inferno, and Opera.

“Set against the backdrop of Rome and its surrounding countryside, it brings together the contrasting worlds of a high-class prostitute working in the chic hotels around Rome’s Via Veneto and a young boy hailing from the city’s Chinese community,” wrote ScreenDaily.

“She’s an adult and blind, he’s too young to get by on his own. In addition, two different cultures: she is Italian, the child is Chinese. This combination is the engine of Dark Glasses,” explains Argento in a director’s note.

“The film represents my desire to explore two worlds: hers, we know it; his is more mysterious, and it will let us enter the neighbourhoods, houses and customs of the Chinese community in Rome, where they created a real ‘Chinatown’.”

A Christmas story to get a sequel 40yrs after original,

https://www.today.com/today/rcna13029

Nearly 40 years after it first debuted, the holiday movie classic “A Christmas Story” is finally getting a sequel, with original star Peter Billingsley set to reprise his role and produce. Warner Bros. and Legendary are backing the production.

“A Christmas Story Christmas” will be directed by Clay Kaytis (“The Christmas Chronicles”) from a script by Nick Schenk (“Cry Macho,” “The Mule”). Vince Vaughn is also producing, under the Wild West Picture Show Productions banner he runs with Billingsley.

A box office failure when it first premiered in 1983, “A Christmas Story” has become one of the most beloved holiday movies in cinema history. Much of the story’s appeal is its simple, nostalgic story about Ralphie (Billingsley), a 1940s kid who desperately wants a Red Ryder BB rifle that everyone, including the local mall Santa, tells him will shoot his eyes out.

The new film will take place in the 1970s, with the adult Ralphie bringing his family to his childhood home for Christmas.

While the original was shot in Cleveland and Toronto — the home where the movie is shot has even become a tourist attraction — the new film will begin production in Hungary in February.

After working steadily as a child actor, Billingsley largely transitioned into producing as an adult, starting as a co-producer of Jon Favreau’s 2001 mob comedy “Made.” He executive produced Vaughn’s movies “The Break-Up” and “Four Christmases,” and Favreau’s 2008 Marvel Studios film “Iron Man.”

Most recently, he’s executive produced the animated series “F Is for Family.”

In an interview with Variety in 2018 to commemorate the 35th anniversary of “A Christmas Story,” Billingsley credited the film’s director, the late Bob Clark, for mentoring his transition to working behind the camera.

“He was absolutely encouraging and supportive,” Billingsley said. “I would visit him on sets. We would talk and play golf together.”

Children of the corn reboot.

Stephen King’s ‘Children of the Corn’ – What We Know About the Movie so far.
One of the first movies to film during the early days of the pandemic back in 2020, Kurt Wimmer‘s new take on Stephen King‘s Children of the Corn has seemingly dropped off the radar completely in recent months, with no release date set at this time.

It’s been damn near an entire year since we last heard a peep about the movie, which was apparently released in just two locations in Sarasota, Florida back in 2020. It’s the eleventh overall installment in the long-running Children of the Corn franchise, and whenever it’s released, it’ll be the first movie since John Gulager’s Children of the Corn: Runaway in 2018.

Kurt Wimmer, for those who don’t recognize his name, is the director of films including the Christian Bale-starring Equilibrium and the Milla Jovovich-starring Ultraviolet. Children of the Corn is his first movie since 2006, though he did more recently write films include Law Abiding Citizen, Salt, Total Recall, and Point Break, as well as the 2020 horror movie Spell.

In Wimmer’s movie, which is said to have very little to do with King’s novel, “A psychopathic twelve-year-old girl in a small town in Nebraska recruits all the other children and goes on a bloody rampage, killing the corrupt adults and anyone else who opposes her. A bright high schooler who won’t go along with the plan is the town’s only hope of survival.”

Here’s another plot synopsis we’ve found: “A smart teenager finds herself trapped in a horrific plot by the young children in her town to murder all their parents and ‘heal the corn.’”

The new film’s cast includes Elena Kampouris (Before I Fall), Kate Moyer (“When Hope Calls”), Callan Mulvey (Avengers: Endgame) and Bruce Spence (The Road Warrior).
