About the movie “Firestarter”
Zac Efron is set to play the protagonist, Charlie McGee in the remake of “Firestarter.” The movie will be told from her perspective as she’s on the run with her little brother. Reitman has said that this version of “Firestarter” will have an “action-adventure vibe and tone” rather than a horror one. Even though we know Zac Efron can act, it’ll be exciting to see what he does for another iconic role!
Firestarter Remake finished filming
Firestarter Remake finished filming in May. We’re all excited to see the “Firestarter” remake come out! Keith Thomas says that they wrapped filming in May and have been working on post-production since then. He also said, “It’s a story about young people who are having terrible things inflicted upon them by their parents.” In other words, it’ll be just as good as the original film!
Firestarter Remake Potential Release Date
We don’t know when to expect the “Firestarter” remake to come out yet, but we’ll be on the lookout for it! We’re all excited now that production has finished.
The Plot Details for “Firestarter” Remake
Zac Efron’s character is just 14 years old when he first meets Jones. He is the youngest member of an experimental government program; that aims to create psychic soldiers. And he has been trained by the military since birth. But Charlie does not want any part in this world. The film will show how she becomes a rebel; when her family is threatened, as well as what happens after they escape from “the Shop.”

Efron says the script is “intense and really interesting”. And that it’s a “different take on the story,” but he has yet to read it. The film will be veering away; from one of King’s more popular novels (which zac hasn’t read either) with an original screenplay; by Akiva Goldsman, who was nominated for an Oscar in 1997 for his adaptation of Stephen King’s “The Lost World: Jurassic Park.”
Is Zac Efron Playing a Good Guy or a Villain?
Zac is playing someone who is just as mysterious, if not more so than in the original film. He says he’s been having fun exploring and stretching his acting range with this role because he can’t even tell you what character type he’s portraying! But there are still some pretty strong theories: “The Firestarter Remake could see him play either hero or villain.” I hope zac plays an evil bad guy – they’re always the best!
Zac Efron Shares He’s “Proud” of His Firestarter Remake Role: Zac says that he’s really proud to be playing in this remake, and is excited for audiences to see what they come up with. He added, “I think it was just a great opportunity not only creatively but also as an actor because I can’t tell you what type of character.” Zac seems like someone who would want his audience members from all over the world to enjoy themselves – or does he?
