Kimberly Peirce (of Boys Don't Cry) directs this new adaptation of Stephen King's novel Carrie, with a screenplay by Roberto Aguirre-Sacasa (a writer and producer from "Glee" and "Big Love"). Chloe Moretz (Kick-Ass, Let Me In, Hugo) stars in the film about a sheltered high school girl who unleashes her newly developed telekinetic powers after she is pushed too far by her peers and her unstable mother (Julianne Moore). The film also stars Judy Greer and Portia Doubleday. ScreenGems finished shooting Carrie earlier this year, and are planning to release the new version in theaters starting on March 15th, 2013 next year.

One day, this logic about remaking movies that never needed to be remade in the first place will turn around and work as it should be........................

..................at least I hope so :cry:

In the meantime, I'm looking forward to Julianne Moore in that role, it gets my attention.

It's funny you say that, when this movie has already been remade once before. I've never read Carrie, but I know that King himself wasn't that impressed with it.

No, what I mean is Stephen King wasn't impressed with his own effort on writing the book. I think looking back he didn't think it was very good.

Oh yeah, I remember there was another one.

Even though, at the time, I hadn't seen the original one, of which I'm a big fan.

Yeah, I know at least that King likes the movie.
