Here's an interesting video brought to our attention by DC reader Mike, which features Pan's Labyrinth star Ivana Baquero reading for the role of Sue Snell in Kim Peirce's redux of the classic Stephen King tome Carrie. Dig it.
She didn't get that part, but earlier today it was reported that Baquero is the frontrunner to play sexy bad girl “Chris” in Screen Gems and MGM’s Carrie remake. If picked, she'll join the previously announced Julianne Moore as Margaret White, Carrie's mom, Gabriella Wilde (who ended up landing the role of Sue Snell), Alex Russell, Ansel Elgort, and of course Chloe Moretz in the title role. Judy Greer (The Village, Cursed) is currently in talks to play the “Gym Teacher”.

Event Report: Texas Frightmare Weekend 2012
14 May 2012 12:16 PM, PDT | DreadCentral.com | See recent Dread Central news »
Texas Frightmare Weekend, which ran May 4-6, 2012, now bills itself as the premier con in the Southwest, and as our event report will attest, that's definitely accurate. This year the guest list was massive, around 20 films were screened, and a Carrie-themed prom was held. The film list alone was bigger than many film festivals.
Folks, we can just drop the pretenses and say what everyone should know by now: Texas is The mecca for horror in the United States.
More goes on in the horror world right here in the Lone Star State every day than anywhere else. We've got countless filmmakers, crew, writers, musicians, models, photographers, and yes, even journalists working in the horror genre than anywhere else. Period.
We also now have a massive convention every year. Texas Frightmare Weekend was always a great con, but with its new digs at the Hyatt Regency Dfw, it's expanded to extreme size. »

Yep, this "Carrie" remake is still happening. According to Deadline, Julianne Moore has signed on to the upcoming horror film. She'll play Carrie's nutso mom, Margaret White.

The film follows high-school outcast Carrie (Chloe Grace Moretz, taking over for Sissy Spacek), who's tormented constantly by both her peers and her fundamentalist mother, Margaret. However, Carrie soon discovers that she has telekinetic powers whenever she becomes angry.

Two new casting additions to the upcoming Carrie remake have been made. Joining Chloe Moretz (who has landed the titular role) will be Julianne Moore and Gabriella Wilde. More after the jump. Julianne Moore will star as Carrie's mother, Margaret White. In Brian de Palma's original Carrie, the role was played by Piper Laurie - a role for which she earned an Oscar nomination. Also joining the cast is Gabriella Wilde (The Three Musketeers) to play Sue Snell, one of the girls who started off torturing Carrie in the infamous locker room scene, but later feels guilty about the bullying. Kimberly Pierce (Boys Don't Cry) is directing the new Carrie, set for an early 2013 release. Source: »
Julianne Moore And Gabriella Wilde Board Carrie Remake
14 May 2012 7:43 AM, PDT | cinemablend.com | See recent Cinema Blend news »
Margaret White, the mental mother of the telekinetic teen at the center of the horror classic Carrie, is undoubtedly one of the most disturbing characters ever set to screen. She associated sex and puberty with shame and sin, and so made her bullied daughter's home not a sanctuary, but another place of torment. Spitting out lines like, "They're all gonna' laugh at you," and "I can see your dirty pillows," Piper Laurie created a menacing movie mom for the ages. Now four-time Oscar nominee Julianne Moore will attempt to top Laurie's Oscar-nominated performance, as Deadline reports she has signed on to play Margaret White in the upcoming Carrie remake. The production helmed by Boys Don't Cry director Kimberly Peirce had previously lined up Chloe Grace Moretz to front the remake. While many horror remakes of late have been little more than pale imitations of their source material, pairing Moretz.who »
Chloe Grace Moretz To Bring Carrie Back To Life; Julianne Moore Cast As Mother!
13 May 2012 9:39 PM, PDT | iconsoffright.com | See recent Icons of Fright news »
Director Kimberly Peirce, most well known for her award heavy film Boys Don’t Cry has been tapped to bring Stephen King’s 1974 novel Carrie back to the big screen. Said to be more of a re-adaptation instead of a remake of Brian De Palma’s 1976 horror classic, Chloe Grace Moretz (Let Me In, Kick-Ass) has been tasked to embody the shy yet telekinetically-powerful Carrie White – a tough shoe to step in after Sissy Spacek’s terrifying Academy Award nominated performance. The same could be said for Julianne Moore who’s just been brought on to play Carrie’s abusive mother Margaret, a role Piper Laurie was also nominated for an Academy Award.
Deadline is also reporting that Gabriella Wilde is confirmed for Sue Snell (originally played by Amy Irving in the original and prolonged sequel The Rage: Carrie 2) in the redux. More casting news should roll in as »

Julianne Moore Officially Joins Carrie Remake
11 May 2012 11:28 PM, PDT | Beyond Hollywood | See recent Beyond Hollywood news »
Julianne Moore has been rumored for Carrie’s crazy ass fundamentalist mother Margaret in the “Carrie” remake for a while now, but now it’s officially official. She will indeed play the role originally assayed by Piper Laurie in the 1976 original. So there, you can stop worrying now. MGM has gotten a pretty damn good actress to play what is essentially a silly, over-the-top stereotypical version of what Hollywood thinks all “religious people” are like — you know, crazy. And homicidal. Besides Moore, the unbelievably gorgeous Gabriella Wilde (“The Three Musketeers”, below) has also been cast as Sue Snell, the role originally played by Amy Irving in the Brian DePalma original. Kimberly Peirce (“Boys Don’t Cry”) will direct the film, about a sheltered high school girl who unleashes her newly developed telekinetic powers after she is pushed too far by her high school peers. And just in time for prom, »

Julianne Moore Confirmed for ‘Carrie’; Gabriella Wilde Also Boards

Carrie is clicking into place. (With a March 15th, 2013 release date having been staked out, you’d hope they were cracking at things.) Following a little bit of back-and-forth with MGM and Screen Gems, Deadline says Julianne Moore has officially signed to play the titular hero’s crazy, Evangelical mother, Margaret, a role already immortalized in Piper Laurie‘s Oscar-nominated performance. Good news, wouldn’t you say? I’ve already explained why she’d make a great pick — I imagine you’re in general agreement — so Kimberly Peirce just got a big boost.
And there’s some new casting, while we’re at it; in talks for the role of Sue Snell (played by Amy Irving in De Palma‘s film) is relative newcomer Gabriella Wilde (The Three Musketeers). Those who haven’t read Stephen King‘s book or seen the 1976 film best know that, in any incarnation, Snell’s »

Texas Frightmare 2012: A Very 'Carrie' Reunion
8 May 2012 11:30 AM, PDT | Slackerwood | See recent Slackerwood news »
Texas Frightmare Weekend offered a diverse array of entertainment for horror fans of all generations. Indie film nerds could check out indie flicks of all budgets while fans of classic and old school horror could meet and talk to stars of films from the 60s, 70s, 80s and 90s. All of these celebrities gathered in one place, creating some great opportunities to discuss classic moments from the history of cinema.
Once such moment was a reunion of three cast members from the classic movie Carrie (1976). Actresses Nancy Allen, P.J. Soles and three-time Oscar nominee Piper Laurie spent an hour sharing anecdotes from the making of the film.
All three women had different motivations for taking the job. Laurie, who played Carrie's mother Margaret, was retired from acting when she got the script, and was actually told that it was a satire when she took the role. It wasn't until rehearsals »

Take Three: Piper Laurie
7 May 2012 8:01 AM, PDT | FilmExperience | See recent FilmExperience news »
Craig (from Dark Eye Socket) here with this week's Take Three. Today: Piper Laurie
Take One: Hesher (2010)
Laurie has played the grandmother figure a few times in recent years (Hounddog, Eulogy, The Dead Girl), but she best conveyed matriarchal feeling last year in Hesher. The film uses the familiar narrative coupling of a loveable old person and unruly younger person connecting despite obvious differences. This time it's carried out with keen subtlety because the people involved are Laurie and Joseph Gordon-Levitt, who make this arrangement work in a delightfully fresh way. Their friendship isn’t the main thrust of the narrative, but a key characterful diversion, and the genuinely heartfelt union elevates the film with tiny moments of tender affection.
Laurie's Grandma is there for her grandson (Devin Brochu) through the mourning of his mother and later when Gordon-Levitt’s stoner/drifter crashes the family home. Her open acceptance of »
