Carrie

Screen Gems has released a new motion poster for Carrie on Tumblr which you can check out after the jump. Opening in theaters on October 18, the film stars Chloë Grace Moretz, Judy Greer, Portia Doubleday, Alex Russell, Gabriella Wilde, Ansel Elgort and Julianne Moore.

The film is 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. Based on the best-selling novel by Stephen King, Carrie is directed by Kimberly Peirce with a screenplay by Roberto Aguirre-Sacasa.

Inside, you'll find a look at the UK poster for Carrie, courtesy of Empire.  It's a decidely different approach to Carrie White in comparison to the domestic teaser.  Still, the formula is there: Carrie + blood  + prom dress.

This redo of the Stephen King tale - opening October 18th - comes to us from director Kimberly Peirce and stars Chloe Moretz as the titular character.

Julianne Moore, Judy Greer, Portia Doubleday, Gabriella Wilde and Ansel Elgort co-star.  You can watch the trailer here.

Here's your first good look at the remake of Carrie, hitting screens October 18th.  The trailer just made its debut and we have it waiting for you inside.  Directed by Kimberly Peirce, the film finds Chloe Moretz taking on the role of Carrie White this time.  She co-stars with Julianne Moore, Judy Greer, Portia Doubleday, Gabriella Wilde and Ansel Elgort.

NECA is handling the collectible rights for the upcoming Carrie remake and we've got a few images of the action figures being released for the film.  It appears you'll be getting two versions of Carrie.  One is a "clean" prom Carrie, the other is a bloody, "I'm wicked pissed" Carrie.  Check 'em out inside and look for the film October 18th.

Carrie may have been moved to October 18th (it was originally going to open in March), but the viral campaign over at the film's Facebook page carries on with its updates.

The post recent posting is a physical education report card for "Carrietta White."  As you can imagine, the girl doesn't dig the gym.

You will know her name...later this year.

Screen Gems has bumped the Carrie remake - starring Chloe Moretz - out of its March 15th release slot.  The film is now slated to open on October 18th.  So, for those that cry, "Horror movies should come out in October!"  Well, you've got one more to look forward to.  October is already populated by The Devil's Rapture and Paranormal Activity 5.

I'm curious as to why there was a shift.  Hopefully, director Kimberly Peirce can address this soon.  I've heard positive responses from a recent test screening.  Perhaps it needs more time to complete post-production, tinker around or pull off the FX?  Or to stay out of the Oz the Great and Powerful's wake (it opens a week prior)?  Or all of the above.

The latest bit of viral evidence from the Carrie remake to hit the film's Facebook page has surfaced.  This one comes with the description:  "Carrie had obviously been curious about her condition. From the White Commission Archives."  What you'll find inside is a book check-out card.  But what is she reading? (Side note: I like the author's last name is "McGuffin."  MacGuffin indeed.)

The relationship between Carrie White and her mother Margaret continues to be the focus of a viral campaign surrounding next year's Carrie remake.  From the film's Facebook page: "An excerpt from the e-book version of The Shadow Exploded by David R. Congress. If only Margaret could have understood her daughter…"  Head inside for the excerpt.  The remake, starring Chloe Moretz and Julianne Moore, opens March 15, 2013.

Winter officially begins December 21st and we're thrilled to see that the season is going to be jam-packed with horror releases!

What was once a dumping ground (some might argue it still is) for genre titles is now prime real estate (The Devil Inside raked in big bucks in its debut at the start of 2012).

ShockTillYouDrop.com breaks down the films you can expect to see later this month through March 19th, when winter concludes.  As usual, we weigh in with our thoughts on what is to come and provide you with links to photos and trailers (if available).

A page from Carrie White's notebook hit the Facebook page for the Carrie remake.  As the FB page asks:  Is this how Carrie would repent when Margaret locked her in the closet?

Take a gander at the image inside.

The remake, directed by Kimberly Peirce, stars Chloe Moretz as Carrie and Julianne Moore as her mother.  Shock was on the set of this one so stay tuned for a full report as we near the remake's March 15, 2013 release date.

The Facebook page for the forthcoming Carrie remake continues to be a source for the film's viral campaign, showcasing images and clues that draw you into Carrie White's world.  Let's check in and see what the page has for us today, shall we?

Today, we've discovered a pair of new images.  From the FB page: "Nobody wants to believe it, not even now. You and all the people who’ll read what you write will wish they could laugh it off and call me just another nut who’s been out here in the sun too long. But it happened."

Check out the pic that accompanies this passage inside...

The Facebook page for the Carrie remake continues to be the place to watch for viral goodies and imagery.

The latest photo - the White punishment room filled with religious imagery - to hit comes with the caption: "Where Margaret put Carrie when she was bad...  No wonder she was angry."  I wonder if this room will come with the "scary Jesus" from Brian De Palma's adaptation of the Stephen King novel?  Head inside for the photo.

Since the Carrie remake is on the way, we're going to be seeing a lot of cast and crew members from the Brian De Palma film asked about their thoughts on what director Kimberly Peirce is doing with the update.  We've heard from Sissy Spacek, now it's time for De Palma to weigh in.

“I know Kimberly Pierce, I’ve known her for twelve years.  I met her in Paris when she was on a press junket for Boys Don't Cry.  We spent some time in New York together, we used to go to the theatre together," De Palma told Fangoria.

Screen Gems has released the first teaser trailer for Carrie, starring Chloe Moretz as the famous character created by Stephen King.

Moretz co-stars alongside Julianne Moore in the Kimberly Peirce directed adaptation and you can find the teaser after the jump.  The 56-second preview is an FX-filled shot of small town carnage that ultimately introduces you to Carrie White herself.  Use our comment boards to sound off with your thoughts on the piece.

We were excited to see the first footage at the New York Comic con from the other remake Screen Gems is releasing in early 2013, a new version of Carrie, Stephen King's 1974 novel that was turned into an Oscar-nominated movie by Brian De Palma a couple years later.

It stars Chloé Grace Moretz (Let Me In, Dark Shadows) as Carrie White, a teen girl in a suburban town whose ultra-religious mother, played by Julianne Moore, doesn't like to see her daughter growing up and away from her. Oh, yeah, and Carrie also has telekinetic powers that start to manifest itself after a bullying incident in the girls' showers and begins to grow to a point where she uses them to get revenge on her classmates.

Before the actual panel, ShockTillYouDrop.com sat down with Moretz to talk about playing Carrie White, and you can watch that video interview and highlights from the panel after the jump.

Screen Gems revealed the international poster for director Kimberly Peirce's Carrie at the New York Comic Con today and you can now check it out after the jump (via Dark Horizons)!

Evil Dead’s panel will include the film’s star, Jane Levy (Suburgatory), producer Bruce Campbell and director, Fede Alvarez.

The official Facebook page for the Carrie remake has yielded a birthday certificate for Carrie White.  The posting that accompanied the pic reads: "17 years ago today Carrie White’s mother, Margaret White, gave birth to her daughter under circumstances which can only be termed bizarre."  

Head inside for a look at the certificate.

This is the first bit of viral promotion we've seen surface for the film, which is based on the Stephen King novel and directed by Kimberly Peirce.

Evil Dead's panel will include the film's star, Jane Levy ("Suburgatory"), producer (and star of original) Bruce Campbell and director, Fede Alvarez.

Last week, we were granted our first official look at Chloe Moretz as Carrie White in next year's Carrie remake.  It seems the studio was very eager to show everyone what she looked like covered in pig's blood.

Director Kimberly Peirce took to Facebook this afternoon to share her own photo from the production which is currently shooting in Toronto.  I wonder, is a teaser trailer going to drop on us this Halloween season?

The remake stars Moretz, Julianne Moore and Judy Greer.  Head inside for a larger look at this image which is clearly from the prom massacre sequence.

In an effort to make amends, Sue asks her boyfriend, high school heartthrob Tommy Ross, to take Carrie to prom. Pushed to the limit by her peers at the dance, Carrie unleashes telekinetic havoc.

Next year will see the release of Carrie, a new take on the Stephen King novel of the same name.  Filling the shoes of Carrie White: Chloe Moretz, who will be joined on screen by Julianne Moore as Margaret White.

Entertainment Weekly has revealed the first official photos of this duo in the film.  And yes, we're already getting a shot of a bloody Carrie White because, why not, right?  Screw mystery.  I mean, why tease us and give us a normal shot of Carrie when you can deliver a look at the pig's blood-covered teen?  That's what we want to see...  (Feel my sarcasm?)

Moore looks like a natural as Margaret and we've never had a problem with that casting choice.  Moretz I'm very hopeful for.  Judy Greer, Portia Doubleday, Gabriella Wilde and Ansel Elgort also star.

The film, directed by Kimberly Peirce, is expected to hit March 15, 2013.

Who knows exactly how it got out, however some professionally shot behind-the-scenes footage from the Carrie remake has made its way onto the web.  One of B-D's viewers pointed them to an unmentioned origin for the footage.

Chloe Moretz and Gabriella Wilde - as Carrie and Sue, respectively - are featured in the scene which is set poolside.  As you'll see on the film slate, the director of photography is Steve Yedlin - he shot May (another misfit tale), the forthcoming Looper, Toolbox Murders and Brick.

Kimberly Peirce is directing the Stephen King adaptation up in Toronto as we speak. Julianne Moore, Judy Greer, Portia Doubleday and Ansel Elgort also star.

And so it begins...  The first of many photos we'll be bringing you from the San Diego Comic-Con has arrived.  While we establish our photo gallery, we wanted to point you to a promo banner that was spotted in the convention center which is touting the Carrie remake, starring Chloe Moretz.  This is the first official artwork we're seeing for the Kimberly Peirce-directed redo also starring Julianne Moore and, as you can see, the distributor is vying for you to start using the hastag "#whathappenedtocarrie" when talking about the film on Twitter.

The Carrie remake is currently shooting in Toronto and, since it's shooting at an actual school location, the photographers are having a field day snapping pics of the cast.  Leading lady Chloe Moretz was spotted recently, now it's Gabriella Wilde's turn.  The actress plays Sue Snell in the redo/adaptation of Brian De Palma's film/Stephen King's novel.  Head inside for a look.

While we've been covering the remake of Carrie pretty extensively, MGM and Screen Gems have passed along a press release filled with casting confirmations and the official word that filming has begun in Toronto.  Read on for the goods.  (FYI - That's just a fan made poster we're using on the left. Nothing official.)

Principal photography has commenced in Toronto, Ontario on the highly anticipated horror film CARRIE, it was announced today by Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer (MGM) and Screen Gems.  Director Kimberly Peirce (Boys Don’t Cry; Stop-Loss) reimagines Stephen King’s best-selling novel for MGM and Screen Gems’ take on the enduring genre classic. Starring Chloë Grace Moretz (Hugo), four time Oscar-nominee Julianne Moore (Crazy, Stupid, Love; The Kids are Alright) and Judy Greer (The Descendants), CARRIE tells the supernatural tale of a telekinetic teenage girl tormented by her peers.  CARRIE is slated for a 2013 theatrical release.

Chloe Moretz spoke to Vanity Fair about her upcoming turn in Carrie, a remake being directed by Kimberly Peirce.

“I am changing everything about me - my hair, my look,” the actress told the magazine. “I’m doing my own take on [the character]. The script is totally different from the [original]. It’s more like the book. It’s a more Black Swan version - it messes with your mind. You’ll see things, and you don’t know if you’ve seen them.”

Portia Doubleday and Judy Greer have joined the cast of Kim Peirce's upcoming remake of the Stephen King novel, Carrie, Deadline reports.

Doubleday will play the central antagonist, Chris Hargensen and Judy Greer will play gym teacher Miss Desjardin.

Released in 1974, Carrie was King's first published novel and tells the story of a high school girl who, through telekinetic powers, takes revenge on peers that have mocked her. Most famously adapted for the screen by Brian De Palma in 1976, Carrie received a sequel in 1999 and a made-for-TV adaptation in 2002. 

Alex Russell and Ansel Elgort will join Chloe Moretz, Julianne Moore and Gabriella Wilde in Screen Gems' remake of Carrie, which is getting set to shoot next month.  Russell also starred in this year's Chronicle.  Later, you'll see him in the upcoming Bait 3D.

When the question of: Who will play Carrie's mom in the Carrie remake? came about, it was reportedly down to Julianne Moore and Jodie Foster.  Not long ago, we told you Moore was offered the part and, today, Deadline has confirmed that Moore is, in fact, going to co-star alongside Chloe Moretz, who is playing Carrie White.  The site adds one more name to the mix - a potential actress to play Sue Snell.

No stranger to the world of genre, Chloë Grace Moretz's early credits include films like 2005's The Amityville Horror, 2008's The Eye and 2010's Let Me In.

This Friday, the young talent joins forces with director Tim Burton in Dark Shadows, playing Carolyn Stoddard alongside a cast that includes Johnny Depp, Eva Green, Michelle Pfeiffer, Helena Bonham Carter, Jackie Earle Haley, Jonny Lee Miller, Bella Heathcote and Gulliver McGrath.

What's more, she's gearing up to play the leading role in Carrie, Kimberly Peirce's upcoming re-adaptation of Stephen King's very first novel.

In the following exclusive interview with ShockTillYouDrop.com, Moretz talks about returning to a darker side of cinema, working alongside Burton and what fans can expect from her Carrie White next year.

There are maybe a dozen classic horror films that fans would probably never want to see touched or remade including The Exorcist and Stanley Kubrick's The Shining. Brian de Palma's adaptation of Stephen King's Carrie, which introduced many to actress Sissy Spacek, has been transposed into other formats over the years, but no one's dared to make another theatrical film until now. 

Horror fans may have been slightly unsure how to feel when MGM announced they were remaking De Palma's classic, even with the great casting of actresses like Chloe Moretz (Let Me In) and Julianne Moore tackling the roles of Carrie and her ultra-religious mother, and a stong female director like Kimberly Peirce at the helm, maybe because they're so used to beloved horror classics being ruined whenever someone tries to update them.

Sissy Spacek has been in New York doing press for her terrific new memoir "My Extraordinary Ordinary Life" and when Shock's companion site ComingSoon.net had a chance to interview her, they asked how she felt about them remaking a movie that still holds up quite well over 35 years since its initial release.

Already a familiar talent to horror fans for her vampiric turn in Matt Reeves' Let Me In, Chloe Moretz teams with director Tim Burton for the ucpoming Dark Shadows and ShockTillYouDrop.com had a chance to speak with the young star. We'll have the full interview available soon, but we also got a few details about Moretz's upcoming role as the titular Carrie in Kimberly Peirce's big screen remake.

"I start that June 1st," says Moretz. "...It's going to be very well done. I don't want to jinx it, but [Peirce] is a genius, genius, genius director. I would never do it with someone that I don't trust. I trust her more than a lot of the directors I've worked with. She's the right woman for the job."

MGM top dog Roger Birnbaum was on hand to speak to the film students at the University of Denver and he dropped two interesting pieces of information about a pair of projects in the works at the studio.  Movies.com gathered up the intelligence from Reddit - sooooo take with a grain of salt.

Birnbaum let slip that the upcoming Carrie remake, directed by Kimberly Peirce, will incorporate elements of "found footage."  That's pretty easy to digest.  

Over the next year, we're going to be seeing a lot of films that "inject" a bit of a found footage narrative without wholly embracing the storytelling technique (Chernobyl Diaries, for instance). The original Stephen King novel also incorporated a recount of Carrie's antics, which - if I recall - the made-for-TV film starring Angelis Bettis embraced.  So, could you say that the new Carrie is riding a fad?  Not really.

On a side-note regarding the film, Deadline says MGM has officially offered the role of Carrie's mom to Julianne Moore.  Both Moore and Jodie Foster have always been frontrunners.

Not long ago, I took to Shock's Twitter account and wondered if Kimberly Peirce's upcoming remake of Carrie would embrace the current anti-bullying wave that's being felt in the media.  

The movie is the ultimate anti-bully tale, of course, with a misfit lashing out with her telekinetic abilities at her fellow high school classmates.  It's certainly thematically relevent for sure, and Peirce agrees.

The director of Boys Don't Cry took to Facebook page recently to talk about her redo, which is scheduled to hit theaters March 15, 2013 with Chloe Moretz playing the titular character.

It was revealed late last month that Chloe Moretz will be playing the title role in Kim Peirce's upcoming remake of the Stephen King novel, Carrie. The project, from director Kimberly Peirce (Boys Don't Cry, Stop-Loss) is now set for release on March 15, 2013.

Released in 1974, Carrie was King's first published novel and tells the story of a high school girl who, through telekinetic powers, takes revenge on peers that have mocked her.

Okay, I'll take the bait.  A fan poster for the Carrie remake has attracted the attention of Kimberly Peirce, the director of said remake.  The art features star Chloe Moretz, blood trickling down her face.  Not quite the bloodbath she'll be taking in the film.  Peirce posted the art via her Facebook account, giving it a seal of approval of sorts.  We dig it, too.

Last Friday, the role of Carrie White in the remake of Stephen King's Carrie was down to two actresses: Chloe Moretz and Haley Bennett.  This update was followed by Deadline's report that Moretz - seen in this summer's Dark Shadows - was officially offered the lead.  

An offer is an offer, however, and nothing is solid until the talent says, "yes."

Well, it looks like Moretz agreed.  She took to her Twitter account to say, "Never been so happy in my life! Thank you Kim Pierce and thank u MGM for the chance of a lifetime i will never forget!"

Kimberly Peirce (Boys Don't Cry) is helming the redo for Screen Gems and MGM.

Have you forgotten that Hollywood had plans for yet another take on Stephen King's Carrie?  Don't fret if you did.  We've tried to, but it's our job to keep our finger on the pulse of what's brewing in development and the Carrie remake is most certainly alive, a director is circling the project and...it might actually be a good fit.

Kimberly Peirce is in talks to helm the redo for MGM/Screen Gems.  The latter company gave us the somewhat recent remakes The Stepfather and Prom Night.
