Jason Blum is producing for Blumhouse. Vincenzo Natali and Steven Hoban are also producing.
Christine tells the tale of an unpopular nerd who buys a 1958 Plymouth Fury and develops an obsession with it. After a bully defaces the car, it restores itself to perfect condition and begins killing off people. Determined to stop the slaughter, Arnie’s girlfriend and best friend try to destroy the vehicle from Hell once and for all.
Keith Gordon (Dressed to Kill) took over the role. John Stockwell co-starred along with Alexandra Paul, Robert Prosky, Harry Dean Stanton, and Kelly Preston.
Christine managed to snag $3.4M over the course of its opening weekend and a total of $21M in the US. It sports a 69% approval rating over on Rotten Tomatoes with a Critics Consensus that reads: The cracks are starting to show in John Carpenter’s directorial instincts, but Christine is nonetheless silly zippy fun.
