DAILY TORO


The teaser for the Carrie remake that nobody wanted to see has just landed. You can watch it below. As per usual, not much is revealed, but you do get to see a glimpse of that girl from Kick-Ass who stabs people in the face.
The film, directed by Kimberly Peirce (Boys Don't Cry, wait what?), stars Chloë Grace Moretz in the title role, and Julianne Moore as her religious zealot mother. The film was shot this summer at the Pinewood Toronto Studios.
So why was this movie made? Perhaps the studio hired art house director Peirce for her daring feminist and sexual sensibilities. Perhaps they thought Moretz and Moore would make a compelling on screen team. Or perhaps the executives at MGM are number-crunching, trend-hungry capitalists looking to make a quick buck on the back of brand association and the masses' lust for shlocky violence.
The original Brian De Palma film, starring Sissy Spacek, is a runaway classic that never needed to be revisited. We're not saying the remake is going to suck, but it's probably going to suck.
