Many thanks to Shock Till You Drop for the following banner (a larger version can be viewed by clicking on the image below). Filming is already well underway on the remake of the 1976 film and it would appear as if the marketing is about to really ramp up, especially if the o #whathappenedtocarrie" Twitter hashtag is any indication to go by. The remake is directed by Kimberly Peirce and stars Chloë Grace Moretz as Carrie and Julianne Moore as Margaret White. It's expected to be far more faithful to the original novel, but with a modern aesthetic.
The quiet suburb of Chamberlain, Maine is home to the deeply religious and conservative Margaret White and her daughter Carrie. Carrie is a sweet but meek outcast whom Margaret has sheltered from society. Gym teacher Miss Desjardin tries in vain to protect Carrie from local mean girls led by the popular and haughty Chris Hargenson, but only Chris’ best friend, Sue Snell, regrets their actions. In an effort to make amends, Sue asks her boyfriend, high school heartthrob Tommy Ross, to take Carrie to prom. Pushed to the limit by her peers at the dance, Carrie unleashes telekinetic havoc.
