Do we really need another reboot of this movie even if Chloe Mortez (Hit Girl in KICK-ASS) is in it. Will the line "I can see your dirty pillows" ever be that funny again? I for one don't want to hear 15 year old Chloe Motrez utter the response "they're called breasts mamma", it'll just make me feel skeevy to watch it. Is the fact this movie is being rebooted at all proof that Mr. Stephen King can craft stories of an archetypal quality that stand the test of time or just testimony that HollyWood, supposedly the most creative place on earth, can no longer think outside the box?
Now that Kimberly Peirce (Boys Don’t Cry) is set in the director’s chair, producers are working to cast the lead in the MGM/Screen Gems remake of Carrie. Vulture reports that a number of actresses have been shortlisted for the part (including Dakota Fanning and Lily Collins) but Chloe Moretz and Haley Bennett (Marley and Me) are apparently the top two candidates. The remake is said to be more faithful to Stephen King’s source material than Brian De Palma’s 1976 film adaptation, and apparently The Descendants star Shailene Woodley has already passed on the lead role.
Who would you guys rather see in the role of Carrie: Chloe or Haley?
