New images for Carrie feat. Julianne Moore and Chloe Moretz

Carrie is set to open on October 18, 2013. It was originally supposed to open in March, but it fell victim to the many schedule changes of the year so far.
I will see it but I think the full trailer was a pretty big disappointment. Judge for yourself, but I expected it to look a lot better. I think Chloe Moretz is too pretty for the character of Carrie. I don't doubt her acting ability, but physically she doesn't quite match.

[Updated with trailer] Carrie trailer to screen before Evil Dead

Keep your eyes open!

The Carrie trailer is also supposed to debut online sometime today so when I get a chance I will update this post with a link.


[Update] - Here is the first trailer for Carrie. It debuted today on Yahoo! Movies

It doesn't look as good as I was hoping for, but it doesn't look like a total loss. They obviously modernized the shit out of it, as well. Eh... what can you do. I'll still see it. 

Carrie release pushed from March to October

The release of the upcoming Carrie reboot starring Chloe Moretz and Julianne Moore has been shifted. While it was originally set to be released in March of this year MGM has decided to shift it to October 18, 2013. I guess they want to capitalize on the Halloween crowds rather than the Spring Break kids.

Barnacles... I was looking forward to March.

A look inside Carrie's new closet

We now have a sneak peek inside the closet where Carrie spends some time in the upcoming reboot of the 1976 classic.

Carrie is set to open March 15, 2013 and stars Chloe Moretz and Julianne Moore.

Another Carrie set photo released

Yet another prom up in flames. =^D

First images of Carrie via EW

Entertainment Weekly is set to release the first images of the Carrie reboot starring Chloe Moretz in their upcoming issue, but they have kindly posted the photos online first. I'm happy with this so far so hopefully it isn't disappointing.

Plot synopsis for Carrie

Filming has already started in Toronto for the upcoming reboot of Carrie, but we now have a plot synopsis to go along with it.

“The quiet suburb of Chamberlain, Maine is home to the deeply religious and conservative Margaret White (Julianne Moore) and her daughter Carrie (Chloe Moretz). Carrie is a sweet but meek outcast whom Margaret has sheltered from society. Gym teacher Miss Desjardin (Judy Greer) tries in vain to protect Carrie from local mean girls led by the popular and haughty Chris Hargenson (Portia Doubleday), but only Chris’ best friend, Sue Snell (Gabriella Wilde), regrets their actions. In an effort to make amends, Sue asks her boyfriend, high school heartthrob Tommy Ross (Ansel Elgort), to take Carrie to prom. Pushed to the limit by her peers at the dance, Carrie unleashes telekinetic havoc.”

I am a huge fan of the original with Sissy Spacek and Piper Laurie but I am going to give this one a shot. I love Julianne Moore and Chloe Moretz so I want to see how this one unfolds. I also really like Judy Greer.

First set photo from Carrie feat. Chloe Moretz

Production for the upcoming reboot of Carrie has begun in Toronto, Canada and we already have our first set photo of Chloe Moretz.

Judy Greer confirmed for role in Carrie

It was rumored a while back that Judy Greer was in talks to play the gym teacher, Miss Desjardin, in the upcoming reboot of Carrie but it wasn't confirmed. We now have confirmation that Greer has indeed landed the role. It was also confirmed that Portia Doubleday (I know her from Youth in Revolt) will play Carrie's main rival Chris Hargensen. Other casting confirmations we have so far are Chloe Moretz, Julianne Moore, Alex Russell, and Ansel Elgort.

I think the casting is shaping up nicely. I really like Judy Greer and have seen her in numerous things. This might be good.

Julianne Moore confirmed for Carrie

Julianne Moore has been confirmed for the upcoming reboot of Carrie and will indeed be playing the role of Carrie's mother, Mrs. White. Chloe Moretz has been cast as the title role of Carrie.

I touched on this back in April (http://fort-kick-ass.blogspot.com/2012/04/julianne-moore-in-talks-for-carrie.html) and I said that casting Julianne Moore as Carrie's mother confused me. I kind of am retracting that statement. I think this will be a good thing. I really love Julianne Moore and I remembered that she is fully capable of playing a crazy bitch and doing it quite well. Yes, Jodie Foster would have been great but oh well.
They are also trying to cast the role of Sue Snell and an actress named Gabrielle Wilde. I personally don't know who she is so I will have to look her up if she is cast.

Chloe Moretz to join the cast of Maggie

Chloe Moretz has joined the cast of yet another upcoming horror flick titled Maggie. The basic plot of the film is as follows:

"Set against the backdrop of a zombie apocalypse, the story concerns a father's unconditional love for his 16-year old daughter Maggie as she becomes infected by a zombie."

 Apparently this film will feature zombies who take months to fully change as opposed to our current zombies in shows like The Walking Dead who morph into the undead within minutes or hours. Production on Maggie is aiming to begin this September.


Personally... I am down for this. I like seeing Chloe take on more horror roles. I think it's a good habitat for her. She was fantastic in Let Me In and has also been cast as the new Carrie in the upcoming reboot.
