Firestarter is kicking into gear over at Blumhouse, and today they cast Michael Greyeyes in the role of Rainbird, “a relentless, powerful man who has been pushed into a violent life.” The Stephen King adaptation is being directed by Keith Thomas (The Vigil). The adaptation of the story is being written by Scott Teems (Halloween Kills, Rectify), and who will also executive produce. Jason Blum and Oscar winner Akiva Goldsman will produce. Martha De Laurentiis, who was an associate producer on the 1984 version of Firestarter that starred a really young Drew Barrymore, will executive produce.
