31 March 2012 5:30 AM, PDT | The Geek Files | See recent The Geek Files news »
Chloe Moretz has spoken of her delight at landing the iconic role of Carrie in a new remake.
The 15-year-old revealed she has been "officially offered" the part, saying on Twitter: "Never been so happy in my life! Thank you Kim Peirce and thank you MGM for the chance of a lifetime I will never forget."
Sissy Spacek received an Oscar nomination and the Best Actress award from the National Society of Film Critics for her original portrayal in Brian De Palma's big-screen adaptation of Stephen King's novel in 1976.
Moretz appeared in TV shows Desperate Housewives and Dirty Sexy Money and the film 500 Days of Summer before catching everyone's attention with a breakthrough performance in Matthew Vaughn's 2010 comic book adaptation Kick-Ass.

Chloe Moretz Casting Rumors Give Us So Much Hope For The Carrie Remake
27 March 2012 12:15 PM, PDT | TheFabLife - Movies | See recent TheFabLife - Movies news »
Time to bust out those dirty pillows, horror fans! According to Deadline, MGM and director Kim Peirce have offered the lead in their upcoming Carrie remake to Chloe Moretz. While other actresses like True Grit‘s Hailee Steinfeld and even Lindsay Lohan were mentioned in conjuncture with the part, Chloe is clearly the only reasonable choice when it comes to young women who could blow up prom with their minds. Maybe it’s the eyes? What makes Chloe the ideal candidate, you ask? Let us break it down for you while you plug it up! Plug it up! Plug it up!:
Age: Chloe is currently 15, and therefore intimately aware of how much it can suck to be in high school. Sissy Spacek was already 27 when she killed it (both literally and figuratively) in Brian De Palma‘s classic 1976 version of the 1974 Stephen King bestseller. Actress Angela Bettis was 29 when »

Chloe Moretz and Haley Bennett Being Considered for Carrie
23 March 2012 5:13 PM, PDT | DreadCentral.com | See recent Dread Central news »
Like it or not, a remake of Carrie is well on its way, and the search for the Stephen King-created crazy-ass psychokinetic teenaged lunatic has been narrowed down to two possible choices. Read on for details.
According to New York Magazine's Vulture, the two main contenders are 15-year-old Chloë Moretz (Kick-Ass) and the 24-year-old Haley Bennett (Lawless). But wait! There's more! The site also reports that for the role of Carrie's unhinged fundamentalist mother, director Kimberly Peirce has approached Jodie Foster and is interested in Julianne Moore. Interesting. Tell us what you think below.
Carrie was previously turned into the 1976 film that starred Sissy Spacek, John Travolta, and Amy Irving with Piper Laurie as the repressive mother. In addition, in 2002 David Carson directed Angela Bettis as Carrie and Patricia Clarkson as her mother in a TV movie version written by Bryan Fuller.
The script for this latest reboot has been written by Roberto Aguirre-Sacasa, »

Who Are the Contenders for Carrie?
23 March 2012 4:15 PM, PDT | shocktillyoudrop.com | See recent shocktillyoudrop news »
Look, as much as I love the Sissy Spacek-starring, Brian DePalma-directed Carrie, this remake that is in development at Screen Gems is taking hold of my curiosity.
Admittedly, I had no interest when it was first announced. After all, we had already seen a sequel get made. Then there was a made-for-television adaptation starring May's Angela Bettis. In January, Kimberly Peirce (Boys Don't Cry) was attached to helm the new Carrie, and that seems like a good fit in my book.
Now, it's being reported that two actresses are in the running for Carrie White herself.

The Woman DVD Review
11 February 2012 7:42 PM, PST | FilmJunk | See recent FilmJunk news »
The Woman Directed by: Lucky McKee Written by: Lucky McKee and Jack Ketchum Starring: Pollyanna McIntosh, Sean Bridgers, Angela Bettis, Lauren Ashley Carter, Zach Rand Every year there are a handful of films that make waves on the festival circuit and manage to get people talking -- not necessarily because they are great films but because they are shocking and controversial. Some would say that the ability to provoke is the sign of a great work of art, but it can also divide audiences and completely turn viewers off. Clearly this kind of hype is a double-edged sword, and yet it's hard to deny that it can bring a smaller film plenty of attention. Lucky McKee's The Woman is a film whose reputation precedes it. After causing one audience member to faint and another to stand up and berate the director at Sundance last year, it soon became the talk of the town. »

DVD Review: The Woman

Title: The Woman Director: Lucky McKee (‘The Woods’) Starring: Sean Bridgers (TV’s ‘Deadwood’), Pollyanna McIntosh (‘Offspring’), Angela Bettis (‘Girl, Interrupted,’ TV’s ‘Carrie’) and Lauren Ashley Carter (‘The Prodigies’) People often think their actions benefit everyone, and don’t always think about the consequences will negatively affect those around them. This is one of the main themes in the new horror film ‘The Woman,’ which is now available on DVD. The movie’s director and co-writer, Lucky McKee, bravely showcased the evil and conniving acts of violence seemingly upstanding people take in the privacy of their own home. They enjoy unleashing terror on their innocent neighbors, claiming the torture will benefit them and »

'You wanna see something really scary?': How anthology movies became horror's hot new trend
18 January 2012 8:22 AM, PST | EW - Inside Movies | See recent EW.com - Inside Movies news »
New horror movie anthology The Theatre Bizarre caused something of a ruckus when it screened at a film festival in Oldenburg, Germany, last September. The specific source of said ruckus? A segment called “Vision Stains” in which a young woman uses a hypodermic needle to transfer fluid from the eyeballs of her murder victims to her own ocular apparatus so she can “see” their memories.
“It was the first festival we played that wasn’t a genre festival,” says David Gregory, who produced the film and directed one of the segments, along with Richard Stanley (Hardware), Douglas Buck, and the “Vision Stains” -making Karim Hussein, »

Doctor Gash's Tip of the Scalpel: A Tribute to Tobe Hooper
13 January 2012 12:26 PM, PST | DreadCentral.com | See recent Dread Central news »
"The film which you are about to see is an account of the tragedy which befell a group of five youths, in particular Sally Hardesty and her invalid brother, Franklin. It is all the more tragic in that they were young. But, had they lived very, very long lives, they could not have expected, nor would they have wished to see, as much of the mad and macabre as they were to see that day. For them an idyllic summer afternoon drive became a nightmare. The events of that day were to lead to the discovery of one of the most bizarre crimes in the annals of American history: The Texas Chain Saw Massacre."
Normally we don't lead with a quote quite that long, but that paragraph, read in the film by John Larroquette (who would go on to star in "Night Court" and several other television series), perfectly set »

The Women of Lucky McKee
6 January 2012 1:37 PM, PST | Best-Horror-Movies.com | See recent Best-Horror-Movies.com news »
Lucky McKee’s latest offering “The Woman” offers an interesting dichotomy in that it is both a vicious, misogynistic film, but also a powerful, feminist one. McKee once again has proven that he is a master at writing female characters. Horror fans first took heed of McKee’s talent in his second offering “May” (his first movie “All Cheerleaders Die” is very hard to find). “May” told the tale of a weird, withdrawn girl named May (played by the highly talented Angela Bettis, who would go on to become a regular of his), who when she cannot find the perfect friend, decides to make on herself, with what she deems to be the best body parts of others. »
More Carrie on the Way

Great news coming in for those of you out there sitting around and saying to yourselves, "Man, you know what we need? Another remake of Stephen King's Carrie!" Another telling is on its way, and we've got the skinny on whether or not they're all gonna laugh at you right here.
According to Deadline, Kimberly Peirce (Stop-Loss) is in talks to direct Carrie, another remake of the Stephen King thriller about a telekinetic teenager who gets pushed too far at the prom and wreaks havoc on her fellow high school students. Peirce is best known for helming another troubled female coming-of-age tragedy, the Hilary Swank-starrer Boys Don’t Cry.

Kimberly Peirce To Direct Remake of King's "Carrie"
4 January 2012 1:16 PM, PST | Planet Fury | See recent Planet Fury news »
So, there Will be a remake of the horror film Carrie and it will Not be directed by the nicest guy in horror, Mick Garris. But the good news? It's going to be directed by Kimberly Peirce.
Prom Sucks
Peirce is best known for the awesome, tragic, compelling, and just plain... unbelieveable based-on-reality movie Boys Don’t Cry which launched Hilary Swank's career as a real actress and not just "one of the girls in the original Buffy movie."
This new script by Roberto Aguirre-Sacasa is supposed to be more "faithful" to Stephen King's original book as well as more "grounded" than Brian De Palma's 1976 film version.
The one thing I know fans will ask themselves is this: Why isn't Mick Garris directing? Garris has a long history of directing Stephen King adaptations, especially versions of the stories that are more grounded and faithful to King's original »
