Stephen King’s works have given rise to numerous screen adaptations. Test your knowledge of the master of horror, who has made us all tremble with fear for decades.
On the occasion of the cinema release of Firestarter, based on Stephen King’s novel, we invite you to test your knowledge of the master of horror!
The story of Firestarter is as follows: For over ten years, Andy and Vicky have been constantly between moves to evade a shadowy federal agency seeking to capture their daughter Charlie.
Indeed, it has an extraordinary faculty of pyrokinesis which the agency would like to use to create a weapon of mass destruction…
Andy taught his daughter to control her anger or pain that triggers her power. But Charlie is now 11 years old and she is finding it increasingly difficult to control her emotions – and therefore the starting of the fire.
When the agency finds out where she and her parents are staying, a mysterious agent is sent on a mission to track down the family and get hold of Charlie. But the young girl does not intend to let herself go…
Firestarter is taken from the novel Charlie by Stephen King, already adapted to the cinema in 1984 with Drew Barrymore in the title role.
Producers Jason Blum and Akiva Goldsman, who had previously collaborated on the Paranormal Activity saga, felt it was time to initiate a new adaptation, designed for a 21st century audience.
“There’s a whole new generation of horror movie fans who may have heard of the first movie, but probably haven’t seen it.”explains Blum. “We thought it was a great opportunity to update the plot a bit and introduce new faces.”
