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…”

Interesting Quote: Sissy Spacek



"They hired a really wonderful director, very talented. It'll be interesting. Our film, it is what it is what it is, and it stood the test of time, but I think that's great, it's like an homage not only to the book but to the film, not only to Stephen King but to Brian De Palma. It's been made many times. There have been several television movies, 'Carrie 2,' two musicals! I remember thinking the first time there was a musical on Broadway, 'Oh my Gosh! The people who ordinarily go to the theaters, that's not really the audience.' The first audience of 'Carrie' has aged now, so I think out of curiosity, I think it's cool. As I understand it, they're not remaking our film; they're going back to the source material, to the book."
Sissy is excited about the "new" Carrie.

Interesting Quote: Chloe Moretz


"I'm actually not looking at the original. Even though De Palma's movie was one of the best movies ever made. It's completely iconic, and I'm proud to be able to be doing a retooling of it. We're kind of going off the book. It's darker and much more psychological. More Black Swan. You're really looking into her mind, and it really looks into the relationship of Margaret and Carrie. It's set in modern time, so it's a lot different."
