There's a lot more authenticity to that performance. They've kept the major beats in the story and thank God they got a real Native American to play John Rainbird. "I read the script beforehand and I thought to myself, okay, what they've done here is they have concentrated the story and made it a family story. Additionally, the writer liked the casting of Michael Greyeyes for the character Rainbird. King thought highly of the actor's performance. Unlike the first motion picture, Efron's character does not lie to his kid. This character, this iteration of Andy McGee, doesn't do that. In the original Firestarter movie there's a lot of, 'Oh, Charlie, everything's going to be all right.' There's nothing that raises my hackle so much as lying to a child. "If you compare David Keith as Andy McGee and Zac Efron, I think Efron wins the battle because he seems a lot more intelligent, and he does a lot less lying to the kid, too. King appreciated that the actor who plays the father in the remake is more honest than the one in the original.
