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.

Julianne Moore in talks for Carrie reboot

It has been reported that Julianne Moore is in talks, and possible negotiations, to play Carrie's mother in the upcoming remake of Carrie. If you didn't know already, Chloe Moretz has been cast to play Carrie White. 

Honestly, this is a bit odd for me. I love Julianne Moore, don't get me wrong, but I don't know if I can quite picture her as Carrie's mother. I had heard rumors that both Sissy Spacek and Jodie Foster were being tossed around and that kind of excited me. I would have loved to see Sissy Spacek come back as the mother. Oh well. Moore hasn't been 100% confirmed yet so this still could change.

What do you think? Do you like the idea of Julianne Moore as Carrie's mother or not? If you don't, who would you want to see cast?
