New York Comic-Con took place over the weekend, and you can check out the most important stuff (read: awesome costumes) over at Gamma Squad, but there’s considerable buzz today over the details that were announced regarding the remake of the 1976 horror classic Carrie. Directed by Kimberly Peirce, who is the female Brian De Palma, according to something I just made up now, the remake stars Julianne Moore and Chloe Moretz and they were both on hand to answer questions and reveal the film’s first teaser.
As is common for teasers and trailers revealed at Comic-Con, this one is nowhere to be found online, which means sneaky people with camera phones are slacking. Fortunately, plenty of other websites wrote 700-word detailed descriptions of the teaser, but we’ll go with Entertainment Weekly’s because it’s the shortest.
The NYCC crowd got an exclusive first look at Carrie‘s teaser trailer, which begins with a helicopter shot showing the school gym on fire, but then shows a trail of destruction leading throughout Carrie‘s small town…ending with a close-up on a blood-covered Moretz. The teaser features a cacophony of voices talking about Carrie — including the memorable line “She wasn’t some monster. She was just a girl.” — implying, perhaps, that the remake would adhere close to the structure of King’s original novel, which was written in a pseudo-epistolary style. (Brian De Palma’s original Carrie film in the late ’70s jettisoned that structure in favor of a more straightforward linear narrative.)
The film’s stars also revealed that the plot will focus heavily on social media bullying, which is a little, um, awkward in light of recent events.
But EW also revealed an exclusive photo from the set and another image was released this weekend, and even Entertainment Tonight will have exclusive footage from the set this week. So if you’re overly excited about this film, you need to go outside.





As long as she doesn’t turn in to a werewolf at the end. Woof.
There might be police outside.
*nods*
“Hey Carrie, what are you doing after first period?”

Disgusting prom night? She seems like more of a Samantha.
That chick could turn 30 and I’d still be keeping an eye out for pedobear.
I’ll keep an eye out for her sex tape.
We call this the Portman Factor.
I’m surprised this post didn’t contain more sentences like CHLOE MORETZ PICTURES or TEEN CHLOE MORETZ IN CARRIE.
Then again, with the amount of coverage her projects get here we’re probably all two posts away from getting a phone call from Gawker.
I expect all Chloe Moretz posts to be written by Mr. ManWeenie himself. How disappointing. In the immortal words of Brendon’s girlfriend, “WHO THE FUCK IS ASHLEY BURNS?”
“…Stephen King’s original novel, which was written in a pseudo-epistolary style, as opposed to his later works which wete written in pseudo-epistomoe and pseudo-epistocurly styles.”
“were”. I’m teaching my Wang how to type and he hasn’t quite gotten used to the iPhone keyboard yet.
Nice. I suppose if you can answer your iphone with it then it qualifies as being hands-free. But you’d probably have to drive around with your zipper down.
It’s going to focus on social media bullying? Which side are they coming down on, pro or against? I can’t wait to see and find out!
So wait people are making fun of the girl who is super pretty for what reason? Also Chloe every woman goes through it, you don’t have to freak out and get it all over yourself…. I’m going to be on some list now right?…Probably underlined on the list I was already on.
Any time; any place; the Super Slueths are on the case.
“Are you there, God? It’s me, Carrie.”
Whoa I read 1997 as 1987 and almost made a horrible math error. Clears cache and history; tries to figure out how to format a Mac hard drive.
MAGNETS, BITCH!
These Tampax ads are disgusting.
Well, THAT’s an inappropriate boner.
I’ll buy a ticket if the finale takes place with Moretz and Moore reprising their 30 Rock characters.
“Gawd Carruh! Yawh fawkin’ cahvered in blahd!”
“You’re clearly jealous of how I much better I pull off being a redhead.”
Looks like Chloe Moretz got her period. Game on. I’ll have her meet me in Thailand.
Uproxx is gonna have Chris Hanson in for a live chat where he will ask all of us to ‘have a seat’.
How am i supposed to masturbate to this?
