MGM studios is in negotiations with young actress, Chloe Moretz (she’s 15), to star as Carrie White in the remake of Stephen King’s, “Carrie”. While this is a nice choice, Chloe and Sissy do look pretty similar to each other, almost like sisters! Sissy played the character when she was 27, so it looks like they are going for younger casting. If you don’t know who Chloe Moretz is, you might have seen her in the film, “Kick-Ass” (she played Hit Girl), and the vampire film, “Let Me In”.
I think a “Carrie” remake, could be pretty good if they did it right. I just hope they don’t ruin the prom scene. The original prom scene from the 1976 film was the best part of the whole movie and the remake might not be able to top it. Who knows, we just might have to wait and see. I’m curious.
Deadline, reports.

whaaat?! they already remade this in the 90s! they need a new name for a threepeat movie. hollywood is getting so ridiculous!! HIRE WRITERS!!!! right?!
If you get your facts right, “Carrie”, was never remade. “Carrie 2: The Rage” was a sequel from the 1976 film, not exactly a remake.

irrelevant, hollywood is cracked out on remakes and sequels.
I’ve said it in the blog before. I’ve tried to defend Hollywood remakes. The whole point of remakes is that they help bring people to the original film. Not a lot of folks in this generation have seen the original film. I’m pretty sure there are many that still haven’t seen, Brian Depalma’s film. On top of that, not all remakes are bad. There are some great ones out there and I can list a bunch of ’em.
