I just noticed that even tho Carrie gets released in the USA on the 18th October, it doesn't get it's UK release until the 29th November. In an age where film distributors are trying to reduce piracy, why on earth are they making other countries in the world wait a silly amount of time for the film. ?

How are they going to beat the original and why bother trying?
Like they are ever going to scratch Piper Laurie's performance. It was a one off!
To be honest, I'm more concerned about them getting the rest of the film right than some final shock moment at the end, no matter how good it was (which was heightened due to what's happened previous). Carrie was far more than its "boo!" ending; it's not just some shock film, it's more than that (I'm not saying you don't think that, BTW). I doubt that the remake will carry off the rest of the film, its atmosphere, its characterisation, its story, the loneliness, the hope, the anger, etc. Still, here's to be proved wrong, but I doubt it.
Especially that scene when she has her period in the shower. Just found the acting and how it was all portrayed as laughable and not very emotional.
The only thing about the remake that is attracting me to it the amazing Ms Moore.
No I am concerned about the whole film, As well as the ending I loved the whole film. The music, the creepy atmosphere, the acting,. The way it led up to the prom scene with some light hearted stuff and then the shocking split screen stuff when Carrie goes berserk. And of course that ending! Just cannot see it being as good.

That was EXCELLENT!
America is still the testing ground for many films. If it proves a hit there they can go about ramping up the film's marketing/profile elsewhere etc. Worldwide day/date releases for the majority of films would be a great thing of course, but could well be a major headache for the studios, not least financially.
Are they really any more expensive than a standard theatrical release? If so, how can indie films like Looper manage it?
Love Chloe Grace.
In today's on-demand world, people's frustration at this sort of delay is going to happen of course. But bear in mind the situation is more complex than it looks, and a satisfying solution perhaps not feasible at present.*
* I gather one theory is that eventually film will follow the Sky model and films will be satellite-beamed globally into cinemas. You can see this working, but it's a very big jump.
Chloe Mortez is quite the actress and Julianne Moore just freaked me out.
Yes, this seems to be the consensus amongst the critics. Personally, I csn't see the point of a remake. The De Palma's original was excellent. I understand that the special effects are better than the De Palma film as he had no access to CGI, although some of the publicity stills look as though the heroine is covered in chocolate rather than blood.:D
ah do you know why this is? i've noticed it in quite a few trailers too. they digitally alter the colour of blood to make it not look like blood in promotional materials, posters, trailers etc. must be something to do with the ratings system
No, I didn't know that. How bizarre.
