Interview: Piper Laurie Reflects on ‘Carrie,’ ‘The Hustler,’ Fumio Yamaguchi
29 November 2011 10:26 AM, PST | HollywoodChicago.com | See recent HollywoodChicago.com news »
Chicago – Few character actresses have proven to be as effortlessly versatile as Piper Laurie. Her Oscar-nominated turns as Paul Newman’s alcoholic lover in Robert Rossen’s 1961 classic “The Hustler” and Marlee Matlin’s estranged but loving mother in Randa Haines’s 1986 drama “Children of a Lesser God” offer a mere sample of her remarkable range and magnetic screen presence.
Yet her role that remains immortalized in the minds of moviegoers is Margaret White, the psychotic mother of the titular telekinetic teen in Brian De Palma’s marvelously effective 1976 thriller “Carrie.” Chicagoans will have the opportunity to meet the legendary actress when she attends Camp Midnight’s presentation of “A Very Carrie Christmas” at 2 p.m. Friday, Dec. 4 at the Music Box Theatre.
The event includes pre-show entertainment from Hell in a Handbag Productions, as well as an interactive audience guide and running commentary from Dick O’Day and David »

Jeffrey comes down the stairs of his home. It’s night, and his mother (played by Priscilla Pointer, the real-life mother of Amy Irving) and Aunt Barbara (Frances Bay) sit on the sofa watching a black-and-white crime drama on the television. Positioned on opposite ends, the space between them opens up like some sort of haunted void where someone (or something) else should be. In Lynch’s films, sofas—which seem like the most harmless piece of furniture possible—become uncanny objects, spooky places that are so familiar that they become unfamiliar.
There is one more point of general application which I should like to add, though, strictly speaking, it has been included in what has already been said about animism and modes of working of the mental apparatus that have been surmounted; for I think it deserves special emphasis. This is that an uncanny effect is often »

Megan Fox Wants to Be Carrie
23 May 2011 11:09 AM, PDT | MovieWeb | See recent MovieWeb news »
It was announced last week that MGM is moving forward on a planned remake of Stephen King's Carrie, with Roberto Aguirre-Sacasa penning a screenplay that will remain truer to the novel than Brian De Palma's 1976 adaptation did.
Today, it has been revealed that Megan Fox, despite being one of the most attractive women on the planet and twenty-five years old, is actively pursuing the lead character of Carrie, a homely picked-upon high school outcast. Casting that will surely have Stephen King rolling over in his customized, California King-sized casket that he uses as a bed. The actress doesn't think that her looks or age will stand in the way of her landing the role.
Here is what an insider close to the actress had to say:
"Megan is a huge fan of the original and would love the chance to play the lead. She's 25 now but she's sure »

Carrie Remake? Stephen King Asks, Why?
20 May 2011 6:36 PM, PDT | MovieWeb | See recent MovieWeb news »
One of the big news items yesterday was that MGM is moving forward on a remake of the 1976 horror classic Carrie, with playwright/screenwriter Roberto Aguirre-Sacasa coming aboard to write the script. Author Stephen King recently spoke out against the remake, mainly since he's so fond of the original movie, which was directed by Brian De Palma. Take a look at what he had to say below, including his intriguing casting suggestion of Lindsay Lohan to play the title character, and who he would like to see direct.
"I've heard rumblings about a Carrie remake, as I have about The Stand and It. Who knows if it will happen? The real question is why, when the original was so good? I mean, not Casablanca, or anything, but a really good horror-suspense film, much better than the book. Piper Laurie really got her teeth into the bad-mom thing. Although Lindsay Lohan as Carrie White. »

20 May 2011 10:55 AM, PDT | LatinoReview | See recent LatinoReview news »
Let’s get an opinion from the “Carrie” author himself about the new remake of the 1976 Brian De Palma horror film.

MGM and Screen Gems are remaking Stephen King’s ‘Carrie’
20 May 2011 10:12 AM, PDT | The Hollywood News | See recent The Hollywood News news »
Deadline are reporting that a remake of the classic Brian De Palma film Carrie is pushing ahead over at MGM and Screen Gems. The original 1970′s film was based on a novel by Stephen King, so we can’t actually say that the new film will be a remake, but a re-adaptation of the book.
Roberto Aguirre-Sacasa is going to write the screenplay for the studio.
Deadline says that Carrie follows ‘the telekinetic teenager who gets pushed too far at the prom and wreaks havoc on her fellow high school students.’ The original starred Sissy Spacek, John Travolta, Amy Irving and Piper Laurie as the repressive mother. They also say that the new film will be more faithful to the King book than the earlier movie, released in 1976.
Aguirre-Sacasa has a few projects on his plate. He has recently been tasked with rewriting the Spider-man musical, and will also pen »

Big-screen resurrection planned for Brian De Palma's classic 1976 horror, based on the novel by Stephen King, reports say
It is one of only a handful of horror movies to be nominated for an Oscar and gave director Brian De Palma his first box-office hit. Now reports say Hollywood is planning to remake Carrie, the 1976 tale of a bullied teenager with sinister psionic powers, based on the novel by Stephen King.
Deadline reports that Roberto Aguirre-Sacasa, the playwright and comic-book writer recently brought in to rewrite Broadway's troubled Spider-Man: Turn Off the Dark show, has been handed the role of screenwriter. Aguirre-Sacasa is said to be planning a new version more faithful to King's 1974 novel.
The original Carrie starred Sissy Spacek in the title role, alongside John Travolta, Amy Irving and Piper Laurie (as the teenager's repressive mother). Both Spacek and Laurie were nominated for Oscars, in the best actress »

Carrie Remake Moves Forward at MGM
19 May 2011 6:58 PM, PDT | MovieWeb | See recent MovieWeb news »
Playwright/screenwriter Roberto Aguirre-Sacasa has been hired to write a remake of the 1976 horror classic Carrie for MGM. The writer was recently brought on to re-work the Broadway superhero musical, Spider-Man: Turn Off the Dark.
It is said that Roberto Aguirre-Sacasa will stick much closer to Stephen King's novel than the original movie did. Roberto Aguirre-Sacasa has worked with Stephen King in the past, penning a graphic novel based on Stephen King's book The Stand.
Oddly enough, Carrie wasn't one of the projects listed when MGM announced a slew of remake projects, which include RoboCop, Poltergeist, Mr. Mom, and others.
The original Carrie starred Sissy Spacek as the title character, an ostracized young girl who uses her special gifts to get even with her tormentors.
No production schedule was released for the Carrie remake.
Carrie was released November 3rd, 1976 and stars Sissy Spacek, Piper Laurie, Amy Irving, William Katt, »

"They're All Gonna Laugh At You!!!" I've had that sentence ringing in my head since the very first time I saw the first screen version of Stephen King's Carrie. Looks like MGM is ready to jump-start that psycho-kinetic laughter once more.
According to Deadline Roberto Aguirre-Sacasa, the playwright and comic book writer who was brought on to rewrite and hopefully save Broadway's Spider-Man: Turn Off the Dark, has booked several projects to follow, including writing a remake of Carrie for MGM and Screen Gems. The shocking Stephen King thriller told the story of a hyperkinetic teenager who gets pushed too far at the prom and wreaks havoc on her fellow high school students. King's bestselling book was turned into the 1976 film that starred Sissy Spacek, John Travolta, Amy Irving and Piper Laurie as the repressive mother.
