With Chloe Moretz set to star in MGM/Screen Gem’s “more faithful” remake of Brian De Palma’s 1976 film adaptation of Stephen King’s novel Carrie (phew!), attention now turns to when the film will be released. According to Box Office Mojo, the targeted release date is set for March 15, 2013, placing the Kimberly Pierce (Boys Don’t Cry) directed film in-between Sam Raimi’s Oz the Great and Powerful and Bryan Singer’s Jack the Giant Killer, according to their site. No word yet on who will play Carrie’s evil mother, although both Jodie Foster and Julianne Moore had been approached. Hit the jump for the synopsis.
Here’s a brief synopsis of Stephen King’s novel (via Amazon):
A modern classic, Carrie introduced a distinctive new voice in American fiction — Stephen King. The story of misunderstood high school girl Carrie White, her extraordinary telekinetic powers, and her violent rampage of revenge, remains one of the most barrier-breaking and shocking novels of all time.
Make a date with terror and live the nightmare that is…Carrie.

Seems like I have already seen this movie. Oh wait…. This girl isn’t carrie. She’s a good actress no doubt, just not mean or vulnerable enough for me.
How many of these will they make? I’ve already lost track of the remakes, sequels, etc because they look like The Craft. Is she under contract to make this?
I agree with anthony. Chloe Mortez is too pretty to play this role, unless they can do some serious work on her. In the book Carrie was fat and covered in acne.
