So. They're Remaking "Carrie".. Chloë Grace Moretz is Carrie and Julianne Moore is Carrie's mother Margaret White.

I'm not sure how I feel about this. So much more of King's work that could be adapted for the screen that hasn't been yet. And there has already been a not too well done remake of this film. Though, that was for TV, so yeah. I can get behind Julianne, I think she's a fantastic actress. I'll be interested in seeing where she takes the role.



As far as Carrie, does Chloë really have what it takes to do for it what Sissy Spacek already did?



I'll reserve judgment until I see it for myself. I wasn't crazy about "Let Me In", prefer the original "Let The Right One In", but Chloë isn't a horrible actress so we'll see where she takes this.

"Carrie" being freshened up and modernized isn't a bad thing at all and just may benefit from it. And I'm usually one to say leave it alone, the original was perfect, and that Hollywood needs to go with more original ideas and not more remakes and reboots. This has to be done right though, and I hope it is. Another note: why are they showing us the pig's blood already? That's THE moment, THE big scene and, well? OMG.

Yeeeeah... of King's movies Carrie was actually probably one of the more well done ones. I agree there are other King things that could either be remade or made entirely new. It just seems too easy to remake Carrie, as you said its all been done before, and its basically updating an already copied idea.

You know, of all of Stephen King's movies they remake the ONE that was perfect. IDGI. They could have done The Shining which was completely ruined and horrible, they could have done Lawnmower Man which bore no relation to the story they used for the title. It makes no sense whatsoever that they remake Carrie.
