If you’re looking for a horror fix this October, then MGM and Screen Gems has you covered with Kimberly Peirce’s new adaptation of Stephen King’s classic horror novelCarrie.  For those unfamiliar with the story, it centers on a bullied teenage girl (played by Chloe Grace Moretz) who discovers that she has telekinetic powers and decides to dish out retribution against her tormentors including her abusive mother (played by Julianne Moore).  For more on the film, watch the first clip, check out a bunch of new images with a cool viral video, and read Adam’s 25 things to know from his set visit and his interviews with MoretzPeirce, and Judy Greer.

A few days ago, I got to speak with Judy Greer in Los Angeles.  She talked about what  her friends and family thought when she told them she'd be remaking Carrie, the challenge of making a movie where the lead actress is under eighteen, whether anything change during production, deleted scenes, and more.  In addition, Greer told a great story about reading the script for Tomorrowland for the first time and her emotional reaction.  Hit the jump to watch.

Judy Greer:

  • Is it weird getting asked a lot of the same questions?
  • What did her friends and family think when she told them she'd be remaking Carrie?
  • What was it like making a movie when the lead can only work so many hours?
  • How much changed during the making of the film.  She talks about the very beginning of the film.
  • Deleted scenes talk.
  • What can she tease people about Tomorrowland?  She talks about reading the script for the first time and how she was sobbing by the end.
