Two of the most enchanting and terrifying events in a young person’s life are Halloween and Prom. Well, this October Screen Gems and MGM have decided the two shall meet in the fall’s biggest profile horror film, Carrie.
Honestly, remaking one of the all time great horror films feels like a huge challenge, one that even author Stephen King has acknowledged. Yet, it appears director Kimberly Peirce is ready to attempt that challenge with stars Chloe Grace Moretz and Julianne Moore.
In a new featurette, and a batch of screenshots released by Dread Central, which you can see below, the director and her two leading ladies discuss how this film seeks to bend the mind from to the emotionally horrific by setting us in Carrie’s shoes.
It remains unclear whether such an approach con top the vivid nightmare dreamed up for the screen by Brian De Palma with Sissy Spacek, but it is sure to leave at least some teens screaming for the exits. Good luck with that.
