Teaser: ‘Carrie’ Remake With Chloe Moretz And Julianne Moore

I found the original movie adaptation of Stephen King’s Carrie so transcendentally frightening that I didn’t trust my own mother for at least five days henceforth. Brian de Palma’s nightmarish realisation of King’s story about high school bullying, teenage angst, religious fanaticism and mothers from hell, won Academy Award nominations for the lead actresses Sissy Spacek and Piper Laurie and fantastic reviews… so, it is a ballsy and possibly ill-advised decision to attempt to remake such horror perfection…

Nevertheless it’s getting done. Kimberly Pierce (Boys Don’t Cry) is directing the remake, set for a March 2013 release, with Chloe Moretz playing the title role and Julianne Moore as her messed up mommy. The first teaser trailer is here and, while it sets the tone, it gives very little away. Will it live up to the original or is it destined for straight-to-DVD status? Take a look…
