About 
Gladiator II doesn't do enough to set itself apart from the original. It justifies its existence but could have been better.

Firestarter Trailer Is Here, Hits Theaters & Peacock May 13
Firestarter just debuted its trailer and poster, and announced its release date into theaters on May 13th. It will also hit Peacock the same day, in a bit of a surprising move. Starring Zac Efron, Sydney Lemmon, Ryan Kiera Armstrong, Michael Greyeyes, Kurtwood Smith, John Beasley, and Gloria Reuben, the Stephen King adaptation is directed by Keith Thomas form a script by Scott Teems. You can see the trailer and poster down below.
Firestarter Synopsis
"In a new adaptation of Stephen King's classic thriller from the producers of The Invisible Man, a girl with extraordinary pyrokinetic powers fights to protect her family and herself from sinister forces that seek to capture and control her. For more than a decade, parents Andy (Zac Efron; Extremely Wicked, Shockingly Evil and Vile; The Greatest Showman) and Vicky (Sydney Lemmon; Fear the Walking Dead, Succession) have been on the run, desperate to hide their daughter Charlie (Ryan Kiera Armstrong; American Horror Story: Double Feature, The Tomorrow War) from a shadowy federal agency that wants to harness her unprecedented gift for creating fire into a weapon of mass destruction. Andy has taught Charlie how to defuse her power, which is triggered by anger or pain. But as Charlie turns 11, the fire becomes harder and harder to control. After an incident reveals the family's location, a mysterious operative (Michael Greyeyes; Wild Indian, Rutherford Falls) is deployed to hunt down the family and seize Charlie once and for all. Charlie has other plans."
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 as Charlie, will executive produce. Overall, that trailer is exciting, and it makes me that much more excited for this one. Look for it in theaters and on Peacock May 13th.
