Chloe Grace Moretz

Though it's light on footage, the teaser trailer that debuted at New York Comic Con 2012 for the upcoming remake of 'Carrie,' starring Chloe Grace Moretz and Julianne Moore, is pretty awesome. It showcases the wreckage from a Prom night gone bad that has left many dead and wounded.

How iconic is the climax of 'Carrie'? So iconic that all you have to do is put a bunch of blood on a distressed teenage girl and everyone with even a slight knowledge of the horror genre will put two and two together. The first 'Carrie' poster for Kimberly Peirce's remake/re-adaption of 'Carrie' knows this and simply presents us with a blood drenched Chloe Grace Moretz, sans title.

In this week's Reel Women we discuss something that people often shy away from: the sexualization of young actresses. In Tim Burton's latest film, 'Dark Shadows,' Chloe Grace Moretz plays a pretentious, grating teen with all the sexual emphasis of the film's co-stars -- women who are more than twice her age. Does Hollywood have a problem? Or are we the problem?

Perhaps the most frightening character in Stephen King's 'Carrie' is not Carrie herself, but her psychotic, religious fanatic mother. Margaret White was played to perfection in the 1976 movie version by Piper Laurie (who was nominated for an Oscar for her performance), and now another top-notch actress may take a crack at the role.

This 'Carrie' remake sure is rolling along quite nicely. First with news of Chloe Grace-Moretz taking the titular lead, and now the teen scream film gets a release date. And you better start looking for your dates now because it's just in time for prom... next year.

Director Kimberly Peirce is so thrilled to be remaking 'Carrie,' and so excited that she's landed Chloe Grace Moretz for the title role, that she's gone ahead and made her own poster for the movie before shooting a foot of film.

'Carrie,' based on the novel by Stephen King, was adapted by Brian DePalma in 1976 and remade for TV in 2002, starring Angela Bettis. It was also a Broadway musical. Twice. And it's going to be a horror movie again. Now it looks like MGM has found their lead for that 'Carrie' remake.

A remake (or "re-adaptation" if you want to get into semantics) of Brain DePalma's 'Carrie' was inevitable. What wasn't inevitable was a director as interesting as Kimberly Pierce being attached. she's narrowed her list of potential telekinetic teenagers down to two candidates.
