Carrie (Remake) - Official Trailer Premiere

We're coming up on prom season! I guess that means buckets of pig's blood?

Or rather, that's what appears to be in store for Chloe Moretz, who inherits the iconic, titular role of Carrie from Sissy Spacek for director Kimberly Pierce's remake of the Brian de Palma film, based on Stephen King's novel of the same name. (Seven hells, that was a mouthful. Sorry about that)

Pierce, however, insists that her remake will hew much closer to King's 1974 novel than the de Palma adaptation released two years later.

You can judge the merit of that assessment yourself by watching the trailer for the new film, which also stars Julianne Moore, below:
