A full length trailer for Kimberly Pierce's Carrie has been unveiled, and while I'm a huge fan of the original movie and novel, this remake seems to be pushing all the right buttons so far. It may give too much away, but then again, Carrie is such a well known story that maybe it's just giving people what they want to see. The scenes of Prom destruction look suitably epic (even though that last shot of Chloe Garce Moretz just looks weird), and there seems to be spot on performance across the board. This should be one to watch out for.
Synopsis: The quiet suburb of Chamberlain, Maine is home to the deeply religious and conservative Margaret White (Moore) and her daughter Carrie (Moretz). Carrie is a sweet but meek outcast whom Margaret has sheltered from society. Gym teacher Miss Desjardin (Greer) tries in vain to protect Carrie from local mean girls led by the popular and haughty Chris Hargenson (Portia Doubleday), but only Chris' best friend, Sue Snell (Gabriella Wilde), regrets their actions. In an effort to make amends, Sue asks her boyfriend, high school heartthrob Tommy Ross (Ansel Elgort), to take Carrie to prom. Pushed to the limit by her peers at the dance, Carrie unleashes telekinetic havoc. Brian De Palma’s 1976 film version of "Carrie" earned Oscar nominations for stars Sissy Spacek and Piper Laurie.
Released: 18th October (U.S.)/ 29th November (U.K./IRL)
