A few years ago Jason Blum announced that Blumhouse was teaming up with Akiva Goldsman to develop a new adaptation of Stephen King’s Firestarter. While the film spent years in limbo, it has now sprung to life. Akiva is reportedly now writing the script along with Halloween Kills‘ Scott Teems. But that’s not all, Collider is reporting that Keith Thomas (The Vigil) has now signed on to direct. While this is not the first adaptation, we got the first in 1984, a new updated version might be nice. The original, directed by Mark L. Lester, starred Drew Barrymore as a kid with pyrokinetic abilities on the run with her telekinetic father. There is no word yet on who will star in the new film.

Sloppy Secondary high school is staging a 24 hour famine for charity… which is odd since the populace of the putrid place is weird as all fuck; you get sexy teachers, a principal that is definitely a Nazi, and a student body made up of sluts, delinquents, and other assorted odd balls… the place is like a finishing school for future Tromaville residents. Anyway, this isn’t the first time such an event has taken place… but it should have ended there as it turned to shit right quick, and it looks like the latest and greatest version is going to be a complete bloodbath as a crazed serial killer known as the Nailer (dressed as an adorable mascot character) stalks the halls of S.S. high school (real clever movie… ) I’m gonna give it to ya straight; co-writer (along with Jeff O’Brien working from a story by Taylor Nicholson)/director Ryan Nicholson seemingly wanted to give you one thing with Famine,

Zombies; love them or hate them you have to admit their apocalypses are always rather grand. Well, after one such incident, the human race is in a serious slump… like the kind where most of it has been eaten to shit and back. Into that maelstrom of flesh nibblers and ghoulish fiends stride Vivi (Gro Swantje Kohlhof) and Eva (Maja Lehrer), two lasses from ol’ Weimar towne; a city that survived the mess beyond it’s walls by simply killing every last mother fucker they even remotely felt could become a zombo. The duo are trying to make their way to Jena, a city that’s trying to find cure this whole gut-munchin’ biz, but that plan turns right shit right quick, and our heroes find themselves going through the Black Forest where they will do their doggone ding-dong damnedest to survive. Kicking out the mother fuckin’ jams with some positives; I must say Kohlhof and Lehrer are the perfect odd couple;
