By coincidence i'm re-reading Carrie at the moment and i'm really looking forward to watching DePalma's version afterwards.
Seriously though, rybev is totally right. How could the original film honestly be improved? Whoever thinks there is something so wrong with it that it needs to be made again from scratch is deluded.
But it'll never work. No actress can quite capture the role like Sissy Spacek, she just was Carrie. Incredibly effective performance. Plus I don't think a story of oppression under Christian fundamentalism is a very good idea for a release at this point in time.
If we have to endure forever Horror remakes,What about the Exorcist ... please discount the Paranormal Activity jump movIies , lets go back to the Exorcist again ... it was based on a true story, Ouija Board an all, and who was Mr Howdey anyway?
She's tweeted something along the lines of "Thank you MGM for giving me a dream come true"
Big mistake!!!!!
With Let Me In and now Carrie, she could become the remake queen.
I loved that movie,amy was such a hottie lol
Take the bets now!!
and her performance probably got her offered alot of other roles
I'll probably watch it just because she is in it
For gawds sake, I am sick to death of shitty remakes which are frankly embarrassing compared to the original - as for Carrie, do not f*** with a classic, nothing will ever beat it, Sissy Spacek and Nancy Allen were fantastic.

She's done far more than remakes to be fair.
Really? Wow, thanks for pointing that out.
Loved the TV remake which they sometimes show on True Entertainment and also loved The Rage: Carrie 2 so this remake should be good.
I enjoyed the tv remake as well,was a good bit longer than the movie,the ending was also quite different,i read it was supposed to lead in2 a tv series but i guess that never happened.
