Firestarter: Blumhouse Offers First Behind-the-Scenes Look at Stephen King Adaptation Firestarter good luck as production was about to kick off last month, with Blumhouse Productions now taking to social media to confirm that the film is currently shooting, sharing an appropriately fiery tease of what's in store for audiences. The video features a stunt performer engulfed in flames, so while there might not be official looks at any of the film's stars or memorable sequences, it's clear that the production wants to have a strong grasp on the story's telekinetic nature. The new adaptation of Firestarter does not yet have a release date.
