Brian DePalma’s classic teen-angst tale of telekinetic teen Carrie White was always going to receive a remake. However, we believe the modernised horror reboot is in good hands with BOYS DON’T CRY director Kimberly Pierce and the ever-impressive Chloe Grace Moretz as the tormented title character.We’ve a bunch of behind-the-scenes stills from Screen Gems’ updated take on Stephen King’s iconic horror novel, as well as the first television spot.
Will you be venturing out to catch CARRIE later this year? We’d love to know your thoughts on the twisted tale!
A reimagining of the classic horror tale about Carrie White, a shy girl outcast by her peers and sheltered by her deeply religious mother , 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 and her daughter, Carrie. Carrie is a sweet but meek outcast whom Margaret has sheltered from society. Gym teacher Miss Desjardin tries in vain to protect Carrie from local mean girls led by the popular and haughty Chris Hargenson but only Chris’ best friend, Sue Snell, regrets their actions. 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. Brian De Palma’s 1976 film version of CARRIE earned Oscar nominations for stars Sissy Spacek and Piper Laurie.
CARRIE co-stars Judy Greer, Portia Doubleday, Alex Russell, Gabriella Wilde, Ansel Elgort and Julianne Moore. It hits the US from 18th October and the UK on the 29th November.
