Brian De Palma gives the 'Carrie' Remake his Blessing


The man that gave us 'the prom to die for', just co-signed on the Carrie remake.

Brian De Palma supports the movie; he tells Fangoria:
“I know Kimberly Pierce, I’ve known her for twelve years,” De Palma told FANGORIA in Toronto. “I met her in Paris when she was on a press junket for BOYS DON’T CRY. We spent some time in New York together, we used to go to the theatre together. She’s a bright, talented person. I tried to encourage her to make a movie very quickly after the success of BOYS and it took her years to find right material…but anyway, she contacted me when she decided to do CARRIE. We discussed the right way to approach it, who she was going to cast and we had a few discussions about it and basically I gave her my blessing. She’s a very talented girl and I’m really excited to see what she does. It will be more like the book, I think, which is Sue Snell’s testimony which puts Carrie in kind of brackets…”
