Con un post su Twitter, Zac Efron ha annunciato la fine delle riprese de L’Incendiaria, l’horror scritto da Scott Teems (Halloween Kills) e diretto da Keith Thomas (The Vigil).
The film is the new adaptation of The incendiary (Firestarter), a science fiction horror novel written by Stephen King in 1980 and from which Mark M. Lester was inspired for his Uncontrollable paranormal phenomena (1984).
In questo nuovo progetto, Ryan Kiera Armstrong (It – Capitolo due) interpreta Charlie, ruolo che, nel film del 1984 era stato affidato a Drew Barrymore (E.T.). Nel cast, oltre alla giovane attrice, figurano anche Zac Efron (Ted Bundy – Fascino criminale) e Michael Greyeyes (Fear The Walking Dead, Blood Quantum).
L’Incendiaria is produced by Universal, Weed Road Pictures and Blumhouse while Martha De Laurentiis, already involved in the first 1984 adaptation, appears on the crew as executive producer.
La trama dell’opera letteraria di Stephen King: Charlie is a child with pyrokinetic abilities and owes her powers to her parents who, along with other volunteers, took part in a government experiment. Andrew, the father, has acquired the power to make people act according to his will and to influence their perceptions but Charlie's powers, unlike those of the parent, have unimaginable destructive effects.
I due sono controllati dalla Bottega, l’organizzazione federale nascosta dietro gli esperimenti e che vorrebbe studiare Charlie. Il loro interesse per la bambina costringerà Andrew e Charlie a fuggire ma i due verranno catturati da John Rainbird.
Per potersi riunire al padre, Charlie imparerà a padroneggiare il suo potere sotto consiglio degli scienziati ma la ragazzina non sarà facile da gestire…
