Since the casting process for the Carrie remake started, it had been said that the director wanted Julianne Moore or Jodie Foster for the role of Carrie's mother. Moore had been offered the part about 2 weeks ago and she's now officially on board. We also have some additional casting news.
According to Deadline, Gabriella Wilde (The Three Musketeers- pictured below) has joined the cast and will be playing the role of Sue Snell. For those who may not remember, Sue is the one who convinces her boyfriend to take Carrie to the prom.
Chloe Moretz has already signed on to play the new Carrie White. The movie will be directed by Kimberly Peirce and has an official release date of March 15, 2013. It has previously been reported that this version of Carrie will more closely follow Stephen King's book than the movie, and here are some recent comments from Kimberly Peirce:
“I am also modernizing the story as one has to in order to bring any great piece of work written in one era into the next and especially given how very relevant this material is right now.
Chloe is going deep into character to get this right….sewing her own dresses, spending time in her closet….and so much more….Thanks for all the great wishes. We are on it! And privileged to be working with such great source material.”
