Bryan Fuller is making the transition from the small screen to the big with a new film adaptation of Stephen King’s “Christine”.
The film, the second film adaptation of the classic novel after John Carpenter’s 1983 version, will retain the original ’80s setting.
According to Variety, Sony Pictures and Blumhouse are producing the film, which marks Fuller’s feature directorial debut. In addition to creating the cult TV series “Hannibal”, Fuller is also known for his work on “Heroes” and “Star Trek : Discovery”.
Here’s the official synopsis for the 1983 film :
Unpopular nerd Arnie Cunningham (Keith Gordon) buys a 1958 Plymouth Fury, which he names Christine. Arnie develops an unhealthy obsession with the car, to the alarm of his jock friend, Dennis Guilder (John Stockwell). After bully Buddy Repperton (William Ostrander) defaces Christine, the auto restores itself to perfect condition and begins killing off Buddy and his friends. Determined to stop the deaths, Dennis and Arnie’s girlfriend, Leigh Cabot (Alexandra Paul), decide to destroy Christine.
