The Official Plot Crunch of the Carrie Remake Drops!! Are We All Gonna Laugh?
The recently released official plot crunch of the upcoming CARRIE remake has dropped and the one thing on everyone’s mind is whether or not the prom ends in gallons of blood, mayhem, chaos, and murder. Well read on to find out:
A reimagining of the classic horror tale about Carrie White (Chloë Grace Moretz), a shy girl outcast by her peers and sheltered by her deeply religious mother (Julianne Moore), who unleashes telekinetic terror on her small town after being pushed too far at her senior prom.
The quiet suburb of Chamberlain, Maine, is home to the deeply religious and conservative Margaret White (Moore) and her daughter, Carrie (Moretz). Carrie is a sweet but meek outcast whom Margaret has sheltered from society. Gym teacher Miss Desjardin (Judy Greer) tries in vain to protect Carrie from local mean girls led by the popular and haughty Chris Hargenson (Portia Doubleday, Youth in Revolt), but only Chris’ best friend, Sue Snell (Gabriella Wilde, The Three Musketeers), regrets their actions. In an effort to make amends, Sue asks her boyfriend, high school heartthrob Tommy Ross (newcomer Ansel Elgort), to take Carrie to prom. Pushed to the limit by her peers at the dance, Carrie unleashes telekinetic havoc. Brian De Palma’s 1976 film version of CARRIE earned Oscar nominations for stars Sissy Spacek and Piper Laurie.
MGM and Screen Gems’ CARRIE is directed by Kim Peirce and produced by Kevin Misher (Public Enemies). J. Miles Dale (The Vow) serves as executive producer, and Roberto Aguirre-Sacasa (Big Love) wrote the script from King’s original story. CARRIE’s creative team includes Director of Photography Steve Yedlin (Looper), Production Designer Carol Spier (Eastern Promises), Costume Designer Luis Sequeira (The Thing) and Editor Lee Percy (Boys Don’t Cry).
There ya have it. It sounds pretty much exactly like Brian De Palma’s version, and judging by the images we’re gonna get the same climax in the remake. I’m a huge fan of De Palma’s version, but I also think the cast in the remake is terrific. I’m looking forward to this one. You? (Click on the images below for a larger view).
Stay Bloody!!!

My only problem is that I have a hard to believing that anyone would pick on Moretz! I guess, though, if someone seems far out there in their beliefs and their life, they will get picked on. I don’t know…the cast is great, but the original is awesome so I’m not sure how I feel about this “re-imaging.”

I’m hoping they make Moretz plain & gawky looking. But I’ve mentioned a few times before that the biggest draw to this re-imaging is the fact we’re getting a female director!! I’m really looking forward to that female perspective in CARRIE!!
