Christine (1983 film) "Christine". Kobritz purchased the rights to "Christine" after finding himself attracted to the novel's "celebration of America's obsession with the motorcar." According to John Carpenter, "Christine" was not a film he had planned on directing, saying that he directed the film as "a job" as opposed to a "personal project." He had previously directed "The Thing" (1982), which had done poorly at the box office and led to critical backlash. In retrospect, Carpenter stated that upon reading "Christine", he felt that "It just wasn't very frightening. But it was something I needed to do at that time for my career."
