The remake of Carrie will begin filming this summer and Chloe Moretz is already on board as the new Carrie White. During a recent interview, she talks about preparing for the role and how this film differs from the 1976 Brian De Palma version:
"De Palma's movie is absolutely amazing. Kim is actually really good friends with De Palma, and they're talking about the movie and they're good friends, so we're taking a lot of his notes... But what we're actually doing is we're taking the book and we're breaking the book down and we're putting a lot of elements of the book into our story, so it's more of like a 'Black Swan' version of it. So you really see the mythology of the character and you really see everything going on with Carrie. It's darker."
Kimberly Peirce (Boys Don't Cry) is directing the remake and a release date has been set for March 15, 2013. No one else has been officially announced as joining the cast, however an offer was made to Julianne Moore to play Carrie's mother. To hear more from Moretz, check out the full interview below:
