He has never killed a child before and becomes obsessed with the idea of killing Charlie after the Shop no longer has use for her. The most significant change made in the remake adaptation of Firestarter comes to the character of John Rainbird (Michael Greyeyes, another alum of Fear the Walking Dead). In the book, Rainbird is an expert tracker and assassin for the Shop who is fascinated by looking his victims in their eyes as he kills them.
The film gender-swaps the role of Captain Hollister by casting Gloria Reuben but the character is one-dimensional, merely a driver of the plot in her pursuit of the McGees.
Its location is left unknown but the compound seen in the movie is a single nondescript building hidden in the woods, where subjects are kept in small cells. The 2022 version of Firestarter is very vague regarding details about its version of The Shop, in comparison to King’s rich characterization in the novel. As adapted for the screen by director Keith Thomas, the Shop is renamed the DSI without any explanation of what the acronym stands for.
While held there, Charlie and Andy are provided comfortable living quarters but are separated and not allowed to see each other. Much is learned about Hollister over the course of the novel as he fears losing his job should the McGees escape (like another King character, Andy Dufresne) and expose the Shop for its inhumane treatment of them. and is helmed by a man named James Hollister. The agency has a sprawling headquarters complete with a horse barn and lake, located in a Virginia suburb outside of Washington, D.C. But instead of inanimate pieces of metal, The Shop tinkers with people and has little to no empathy for its subjects. In King’s Firestarter, the agency is simply known as “ The Shop”, an ominous title that brings the idea of examining, prodding, and tinkering with machinery.
