Very excited about this...

[braex27]

Cannot wait. Loved the original. This one looks phenomenal. Love Julianne Moore.

[Rubber Rat]

I can see your dirty pillows!

[Blueboy82]

I'm very excited about this too. I have watch the original 1976 Carrie. I don't think this new version will be as good as the original.

But I will watch it cause I really love horror movies.

[FanofFiction]

I am not excited exactly. I'm curious to see this movie. The original was so perfect that I don't understand the need for a remake. The sequel was terrible. The only thing about Carrie 2 that I liked was the guy. I don't even remember his name anymore. He was the older brother on Home Improvement, at the time I was in love with him and JTT.

Fingers crossed that this remake will be at least half as good as the original and far better than thet sequel.

Julianne Moore must have some kind of secret addiction and appears in good movies as well as rubbish

I'm curious to see this movie. The original was so perfect that I don't understand the need for a remake.

Agreed. I do believe Moritz and Moore will give strong performances. I'll go out of curiosity.

[Spiff]

I remember seeing a made-for-tv remake about 10 years ago. It was actually decent.

[FanofFiction]

Wow Spiff. I had no idea there was already a remake. I did a quick IMDB search. I'm going to try to find a copy of this and check it out. My only problem is that I hate Angela Bettis.

[crimsonpaine]

I wish Hollywood would stop remaking everything. Granted I am going to watch this because I love Julianne Moore and Stephen King.

I remember seeing a made-for-tv remake about 10 years ago. It was actually decent.

That was suppose to be a pilot for a tv series.

The guy you're refering to is Zachary TY Bryan. He was in Carrie 2: The Rage.....unfortunately he plays an unlikeable douche character.

I thought the lead guy, Jason London was pretty hot and handsome.

I really liked that one too. I think that Ill watch it again and see if it is still as good to me.

[FanofFiction]

Zachary Ty Bryan. Of course! Back when I was in my teens... man, I loved Home Improvement for him and JTT...

But you're right, he was totally unlikeable in Carrie 2. Still, he was my favorite thing about that movie. I don't even remember the movie that much... other than the girl jumping off the school. That scene was insane.

So the remake was intended to be a tv series? That seems undoable. How do you make a series out of Carrie? A girl can only blow up so many times before it gets boring.

[MissAnne]

I wiki-ed The Rage: Carrie 2 and got caught up in all of the real life events that inspired some of the context of this sequel. Brutal stuff.

Glen Ridge Rape Scandal
Spur Posse
Rockdale Syphllis Outbreak of '96

And people say that city kids are crazy.

[Spiff]

The Shining was also remade for tv, I think about 15 years ago. It aired as a miniseries. I didn't like it as much as Kubrich's film, but it was still worth seeing. It was actually more true to the book than Kubrich's version. King actually endorsed the tv version, and even had a cameo in it.

[FanofFiction]

The Shining television remake was better than the original in some regards, but overall wasn't as good as the original. I thought Jack did a much better job in the original than the guy in the remake. But I thought the actress who played Wendy in the television version was SO MUCH better than the chick from the original. SO MUCH BETTER.

The hotel used in the remake was also the one that inspired King to write the shining in the first place. So that was really cool.

They elaborated the backstory, which I really enjoyed. You got to know the characters a lot better.

But the ending to the original movie was so good! Totally different than the remake and there really is no comparison. But I own both on DVD. Both are great.

[crimsonpaine]

The remake was more faithful to the book. Hedge Maze (original movie) vs topiary animals. Axe (original moviel) vs. Oversize croquet mallet. That, along with jack's quick descent to crazy town instead of the gradual slide was part of why Stephen King dislikes the original.

Both are good for their differences.

Female Directors To Watch Out For In 2013


At the film festivals so far this year we have seen plenty of excitement surrounding the work of female filmmakers.

And that excitement looks set to continue throughout the rest of 2013 as there are some fantastically talented women at the helm of some of the most anticipated films.

So we take a look at some of the female filmmakers that you should be keeping an eye out for this year.

- Kimberly Peirce

Carrie is one of the most anticipated horror movies of 2013 and marks the return to the director's chair for Kimberly Peirce.

Peirce grabbed everyone's attention with Boys Don't Cry but Carrie is her first film since Stop-Loss as well as being her first foray into the horror genre.

Carrie is a big screen adaptation of the Stephen King novel of the same name and will see Chloe Moretz and Julianne Moore star.

There is already a lot of excitement surrounding this movie as the early trailers have promised much. This could well be the movie that puts Peirce back on the map.
