As if a new adaptation of Stephen King’s Firestarter isn’t already an exciting enough event for fans, John Carpenter is composing the music for the project with Cody Carpenter and Daniel Davies, with the first track from the album being released online. The past decade has seen the filmmaker focusing more on music, releasing not only original tunes with his Lost Themes albums, but also crafted the scores for both Halloween and Halloween Kills. Interestingly, this new Firestarter marks the rare collaboration in which he didn’t work directly on adapting the film itself, whereas he served as a producer on recent Michael Myers films. You can listen to the first track below before the soundtrack is released digitally on May 13th, the same day Firestarter lands in theaters and on Peacock. You can also pre-order vinyl, CD, and cassette versions of the soundtrack at Sacred Bones Records.
