Growing excitement among horror fans suggests that a Christine remake may soon be on the horizon, bolstered by recent promotional material that has sparked speculation. The story of Christine revolves around Arnie Cunningham, a timid teenager who faces bullying. While exploring a junkyard, Arnie discovers a dilapidated 1958 Plymouth Fury, leading to a series of unsettling transformations as he restores the car. As anticipation builds, audiences are eager to learn whether a remake of Christine is indeed in the works.
Here’s the latest on the rumors surrounding the anticipated Christine remake.
Is the Christine horror movie remake real or fake?
The Christine remake is confirmed to be in development, but recent promotional material circulating online is not authentic.
Reports indicate that since 2021, plans have been in motion for a new adaptation of Christine, with Sony Pictures and Blumhouse collaborating on the project, directed by Bryan Fuller. Despite the development timeline extending back to 2021, no official release date has been announced. Blum himself noted in October 2021 that a screenplay had been created, with plans to adapt it into a film.
Fan speculation intensified following an August 20, 2024, Facebook post showcasing a poster for the original 1983 horror movie ‘Christine’, prominently featuring the iconic Plymouth Fury. However, this poster has been revealed as a fan-made concept generated by AI.
While the team has reiterated their commitment to the Christine remake, a definitive release date for this Stephen King classic remains elusive. Original film director John Carpenter expressed his support for the new project, stating during an interview, “Oh boy. Well, good luck to him. It will probably be better.”
The original 1983 film Christine is currently available for streaming and rental services.
