turn off the dark

Description

Carrie is a 2013 American supernatural horror film. It is the third film adaptation of Stephen King's 1974 novel of the same name and a remake of Brian De Palma's 1976 film of the same name; although, the third adaptation is supposed to be a more accurate adaptation of the novel's premise. The film stars Chloë Grace Moretz as the titular character and Julianne Moore as Moritz's screen mother Margaret White. Following the initial announcement of March 15, 2013 as the release date, the film's public launch was later postponed to October 18, 2013. The film is the first co-production for the Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer (MGM) and Screen Gems film production companies. In May 2011, representatives from MGM and Screen Gems announced that the two companies were producing a film remake of Carrie. The two studios hired Spider-Man: Turn Off the Dark playwright Roberto Aguirre-Sacasa to write a screenplay that delivers "a more faithful adaption" of King's novel—Aguirre-Sacasa previously adapted King's work The Stand into a comic book in 2008. Upon hearing of the new adaptation, King remarked, "The real question is why, when the original was so good?" He also suggested Lindsay Lohan for the main role and stated that "it [the film] would certainly be fun to cast". Actress Sissy Spacek, who played the titular character in de Palma's adaptation, expressed an opinion on the choice of Lohan for the character of Carrie White, stating that she "was like, 'Oh my God, she's really a beautiful girl' and so I was very flattered that they were casting someone to look like me instead of the real Carrie described in the book. It's gonna be real interesting." In March 2012, the role of Carrie White was offered to Chloë Grace Moretz, who accepted the role. Kimberly Peirce is the film's director, while Moore stars as Margaret White and Gabriella Wilde appears in the role of Sue Snell. Alex Russell, who appears in the film Chronicle, and Broadway actor Ansel Elgort are also members of the main cast, and Judy Greer plays the gym teacher Miss Desjardin. Storyline : Carrie White is a lonely and awkward teen who is constantly bullied at school by her peers, and beaten at home at the hands of her religious mother. But Carrie has a secret: She's been blessed with the terrifying power of telekinesis; and when her peers decide to pull a prank on her at prom, they'll soon learn a deadly lesson: If you play with fire, you get burned.
