Annnd it looks exactly like what you were expecting

I think it looks pretty intense. Julianne Moore could be very good, though of course won't top Piper Laurie. I'd see it.

I think Chloe Grace Moretz is an amazing young actress and if she continues in the profession I fully expect her to win an Academy Award someday. It won't be for this, but this could be her "coming out" party.

I love her too but man, enough with the Carries.

[Patronus]

Oh I agree completely. No reason to redo the original except for Travolta's haircut and they could CGI that.

So many adaptations, you'd think it was the definitive American novella and not just "Dark Bewitched."

"Acclaimed novel by Stephen King"?

Doesn't look promising. I'll wait for cable.

Strange that part of Julianne Moore's character choices seems to be Really Bad Hair. Didn't Margaret White own a hairbrush?

I wouldn't be surprised if this is a hit to be honest and makes back its production cost in opening weekend.

[Borstalboy]

Oh,I'm sure it will make back its production costs. CG is cheap.

Will it inspire and be remembered and revisited is the more important question.

"Will it inspire and be remembered and revisited is the more important question."

Who knows? But with that cast and director I'm interested to see.

I dunno. Looks pretty good.

It looks much better than I expected, I'm intrigued (mainly for the cast) but you will never top the original.

Which was pretty much laughed at when it was released. Funny how things become deemed classic!

you sound like Carries Mom!:) it doesnt sound like it was laughed at all...

Carrie received immensely positive reviews and is widely regarded as one of the best films of 1976. The film currently holds a 91% "Certified Fresh" rating on the review aggregation website Rotten Tomatoes.[14] Roger Ebert of the Chicago Sun-Times stated the film was an "absolutely spellbinding horror movie", as well as an "observant human portrait".[15] Pauline Kael of The New Yorker stated that Carrie was "the best scary-funny movie since Jaws — a teasing, terrifying, lyrical shocker". Take One Magazine critic Susan Schenker said she was "angry at the way Carrie manipulated me to the point where my heart was thudding, and embarrassed because the film really works."[16] A 1998 edition of The Movie Guide stated Carrie was a "landmark horror film", while Stephen Farber prophetically stated in a 1978 issue of New West Magazine, "it's a horror classic, and years from now it will still be written and argued about, and it will still be scaring the daylights out of new generations of moviegoers."[17] Quentin Tarantino placed Carrie at number 8 in a list of his favorite films ever.[18]

In addition to being a box office success, Carrie is notable for being one of the few horror films to be nominated for multiple Academy Awards. Sissy Spacek and Piper Laurie received nominations for Best Actress and Best Supporting Actress awards, respectively. The film also won the grand prize at the Avoriaz Fantastic Film Festival, while Sissy Spacek was given the Best Actress award by the National Society of Film Critics. In 2008, Carrie was ranked number 86 on Empire Magazine's list of The 500 Greatest Movies of All Time.[19] This movie also ranked number 15 on Entertainment Weekly's list of the 50 Best High School Movies, and #46 on the American Film Institute's list of 100 Greatest Cinema Thrills, and was also ranked eighth for its famous ending sequence on Bravo's five-hour miniseries The 100 Scariest Movie Moments (2004

I actually think it looks pretty fun. And Borstal, you KNOW we have to see this to have a matching set.

Though, doesn't Chloe Moretz look too damn pretty to pull this off?

[Borstalboy]

Posted: 4/5/13 at 12:06pm

Some things go without saying, RJ.

And yes, its hard to believe that no one could notice that Carrie is kind of cute in this version.

I don't view Carrie's looks as the main problem she faces from the other girls. It's just simply the fact that she's different from them. And while I doubt they are exploring the angle, it could be interesting to add a layer of jealousy to the girls' motives for disliking Carrie. King brushed by this very briefly in It, when one of the boys (I think it was Richie) think about the fact that the rich girls in the school couldn't seem to come to grips with the fact that while they had all of the advantages their money could buy they still had to compete with Bev, a girl from the slums, in the looks department.

Anyway, I was hesitant about this at first (that TV remake left a very bad taste in my mouth), but I've liked what I've seen of Chloe Moretz and Julianne Moore so far.

I also didn't realize that Judy Greer was in it, so that's another aspect that I'm curious to see. (Off-topic, but does anyone know if she will be appearing in any of the new episodes of Arrested Development?)

I just hope we actually get to see her plug it up.

[FindingNamo]

Posted: 4/5/13 at 12:18pm

There's just so much more to discover in this story! (I'm kidding!)

It looks like a very middle-of-the-road movie with some good shots and images. I loved Piper Laurie's portrayal of Margaret as completely insane, it looks like Julianne Moore was asked to underplay it, the previews don't make her seem like that much of a villain. I was hoping for more insanity, but I'll still check it out.

[doodlenyc]

Posted: 4/5/13 at 12:58pm

I'm hoping Moore is more Laurie/Buckley and less Marin/Clarkson.

[SeanMartin]

Posted: 4/5/13 at 12:59pm

Really hope they include all the musical numbers this time!

Oh.

Wait.

This isn t the musical...?

Sorry. Carry on.

[FindingNamo]

Posted: 4/5/13 at 1:16pm

I thought that trailer started with a new song written for the movie? I was looking forward to Moore's take on "Oh, I Remember How Those Boys Could Dance Jesus Christ My Daughter is Making her Hairbrushes Fix Her Hair (Look Ma, No Hands!)."

Namo who laughed at the original when it came out? Critics raved, audiences loved it and it got Oscar Nominated.

I was the target demo for the movie and saw it opening night in a house filled with other young people and everybody laughed through the entire movie. At it, not with it. You have to understand, by moving it to the 1970s, an era when the cool and in kids couldn't have given less of a crap about old institutions like going to the prom, it was all laughable. We all knew kids like that, none of them would have been going to the prom in the first place, let alone be thrown into a rage when told they couldn't go.

And I am not talking about people who knew the pedigree of somebody like Piper Laurie. It was treated with about as much respect as a b-movie is. A way to kill a night but not very good.
