Bryan Fuller will direct a new adaptation of Stephen King’s Christine

Back in 1983, Stephen King wrote a book called Christine. John Carpenter directed an adaptation that was released in December of the same year. Out of the many Stephen King movie adaptations, Christine is one of the good ones.

This is the story of a lover’s triangle . . . It was bad from the start. And it got worse in a hurry.

Christine is eating into his mind, burrowing into his unconscious.

Christine, blood-red, fat, and finned, is twenty. Her promise lies all in her past. Greedy and big, she is Arnie’s obsession, a ’58 Plymouth Fury. Broken down but not finished.

There is still power in her – a frightening power that leaks like sump oil, staining and corrupting. A malign power that corrodes the mind and turns ownership into Possession.

There has been talk of a new film adaptation over the years, but it appears the things are finally moving forward with Sony Pictures and Blumhouse. Bryan Fuller (Hannibal) is writing the film and will make his feature directorial debut with it.

The good news is that Fuller intends to keep the new film set in the 80s.

According to Deadline, Jason Blum is producing for Blumhouse, and Vincenzo Natali and Steven Hoban are also producing.
