cinefilos.it

Intervista a Zac Efron, protagonista di Firestarte. In un nuovo adattamento del classico thriller di Stephen King, dai produttori de L'Uomo Invisibile; una ragazza con straordinari poteri pirocinetici combatte per proteggere la sua famiglia e se stessa da forze sinistre che cercano di catturarla e controllarla.  https://www.cinefilos.it/film/2022/firestarter  Per più di dieci anni, i genitori Andy (Zac Efron; Ted Bundy - Fascino criminale; The Greatest Showman) e Vicky (Sydney Lemmon; Fear the Walking Dead, Succession) sono fuggiti, cercando disperatamente di nascondere la figlia Charlie (Ryan Kiera Armstrong; American Horror Story: Double Feature, La Guerra di Domani) da un'oscura agenzia federale che vuole sfruttare il suo dono senza precedenti per trasformare il fuoco in un'arma di distruzione di massa.  Andy ha insegnato a Charlie come disinnescare il suo potere, che viene innescato dalla rabbia o dal dolore. Ma quando Charlie compie 11 anni, il fuoco diventa sempre più difficile da controllare. Dopo che un incidente rivela la posizione della famiglia, un misterioso agente (Michael Greyeyes; Wild Indian, Rutherford Falls) viene inviato per dare la caccia alla famiglia e catturare Charlie una volta per tutte. Ma Charlie ha altri piani.    Diretto da Keith Thomas (The Vigil - Non ti lascerà andare), da una sceneggiatura di Scott Teems (Halloween Kills) basato sul romanzo di Stephen King, Firestarter è prodotto da Jason Blum (Halloween, L'Uomo Invisibile) per Blumhouse e dal premio Oscar Akiva Goldsman (Io Sono Leggenda, Constantine) per Weed Road Pictures. I produttori esecutivi sono Ryan Turek, Gregory Lessans, Scott Teems, Martha De Laurentiis, J.D. Lifshitz e Raphael Margules.

00:00It's a dream come true, you know, it really is.

00:05I think as, you know, actors, it's really always exciting when you have a world constructed

00:14for you that is supernatural and has supernatural elements and lives in the vein of, you know,

00:22superpowers and special abilities that Stephen King does so well.

00:26But what Stephen does is he roots everything in the human connection and in this case it's

00:34about family and, you know, Ryan's or, sorry, Charlie's struggle to grow up with these powers

00:42that are really coming into, you know, fruition as she, anytime she gets sort of angry, upset

00:48or triggered emotionally, it's really about family and protecting one another and coming

00:55to understand, you know, what it is to be a parent and how to best look after your kids

01:00and then we also get to go through one of the most crazy, psychedelic, fire-fueled chase sequences

01:07of all time.

01:08So thank you Stephen King for this.

01:10Yes.

01:11It's great.

01:12Yeah, Andy is a, he's a very resilient character.

01:17That's really, that's, that's very well put.

01:21He's been through a lot.

01:22I think that, you know, over the course of his life he's had a very tough go.

01:28I think he's kind of scarred from the experience of obtaining these powers through some pretty

01:33gnarly experimentation and these MK Ultra-like experiments and has just by the skin of his

01:43teeth been able to escape and keep his family safe and away from these government agencies

01:49that are constantly after him.

01:51So he's now at this moment where he's trying to decide what's the best way to handle what's

01:57happening to his daughter.
