'Carrie' Remake On The Way?
In 1976, an awkward high school girl got doused with a bucket of pig blood thus setting into motion the epic climax of Brian De Palma's classic horror film 'Carrie.' And given that 'Carrie,' based on the novel by Stephen King, is such a classic, it is now of course being remade. MGM and Screen Gems is ready to roll on their modernized version of the film and are in the hunt for a director. It seems that their top prospect at the moment is 'Boys Don't Cry' helmer Kimberly Peirce. Peirce would be directing a script by Roberto Aguirre-Sacasa who not only serves as producer on 'Glee,' but is also largely credited with the rewrite on Broadway's 'Spider-Man: Turn Off the Dark' that supposedly kept the show from being a complete failure. The new script is said to be more grounded and actually more faithful to the original King novel. Peirce is currently in talks, but a formal deal has not been made.
At this point, it's futile to complain about horror movie remakes. They are becoming as inevitable as death, taxes, and reality TV celebrating the absolute worst humanity has to offer. I will say however that if they were going to remake 'Carrie' anyway, in other words if there was absolutely nothing we could do to stop it, I like this team. There have been a handful of female horror directors, but it is still far from the norm and I love the idea of a woman directing this story. Peirce has already proven her ability to direct scripts centering on women facing strife and deplorable persecution so it doesn't seem like a huge jump for her to bring us the dark tale of a telekinetic outcast pushed too far. I also like the idea of the screenwriter actively taking steps to make the script more faithful to King's work. However, my one big concern is that, despite the patting on the back he gets for "saving" the Spider-Man musical, it's still a far cry from a feather in his cap. I suppose time will tell on this project, but I guess what I'm saying is that I'm not yet filled with dread.

Yeah, this team looks as good as one could hope for given the material, but I'm a little worried about the "more faithful to King's work" comment. I read the book because I so enjoyed the movie, and found it to be dull by comparison. Keep in mind, when we get material that's more faithful to King's work, we get Steven Webber with a croquet mallet. Buyer beware.

If they make Carrie into a bullied gay kid, it would have social relevance....

Actually im gonna go against the crownd and say this could work... bullying is a topic that has just barely started to get any attention with the shootings and the suicides that have happened so there is social relevance in the theme of the movie. If they focus on that instead of the same shot by shot it might be pretty interesting

There was a 'Carrie' remake back in 2002, which was meant to be some kind of pilot for a tv series. It actually was pretty good, in my opinion, but had a different ending then the book. So, who knows, maybe Hollywood won't fuck around with this classic story. Then again, they are the same people who are pushing for SOPA.

People act like drawing from an older film/novel automatically equals no shot at originality. You can have an original take on a past film, you know. Not saying this will, but come on, people.

i always thought the ending of the book was way better than the film, but obviously it wouldn't have looked great with special effects of the time, so maybe a remake isn't such a bad idea really
