Full Length Trailer For Kimberly Pierce’s ‘Carrie’ Remake Debuts

by Shawn MaddenApril 4, 2013

Following the tease that they gave yesterday, the full-length trailer for Kimberly Pierce’s Carrie has debuted. The remake of the Stephen King horror classic stars Chloe Grace Moretz and looks great. However, be warned that the trailer does give quite a bit away if you’re not familiar with the story.

The quiet suburb of Chamberlain, Maine is home to the deeply religious and conservative Margaret White and her daughter Carrie. Carrie is a sweet but meek outcast whom Margaret has sheltered from society. Gym teacher Miss Desjardin tries in vain to protect Carrie from local mean girls led by the popular and haughty Chris Hargenson, but only Chris’ best friend, Sue Snell, regrets their actions. In an effort to make amends, Sue asks her boyfriend, high school heartthrob Tommy Ross, to take Carrie to prom. Pushed to the limit by her peers at the dance, Carrie unleashes telekinetic havoc.

by Derek KraneveldtJanuary 19, 2013

Sure, you’ve already seen plenty of sneaky set photos and candid video from the shoot of Kick-Ass 2. Does that make this shot any less cool? I don’t think so!

Via the latest issue of Entertainment Weekly, the first official still image from the film has been revealed. It features our titular hero (fashionably portrayed by the lovely Aaron Johnson), chatting it up with ex-mafia-cum-vigilante Colonel Stars.

Check out the image below, and lets us know what you think! Kick-Ass 2 hits theatres on June 28th.

Kick-Ass, Hit Girl and Red Mist return for the follow-up to 2010’s irreverent global hit: Kick-Ass 2. After Kick-Ass’ (Aaron Taylor-Johnson) insane bravery inspires a new wave of self-made masked crusaders, led by the badass Colonel Stars and Stripes (Jim Carrey), our hero joins them on patrol. When these amateur superheroes are hunted down by Red Mist (Christopher Mintz-Plasse)—reborn as The Mother F%&*^r—only the blade-wielding Hit Girl (Chloe Grace Moretz) can prevent their annihilation. When we last saw junior assassin Hit Girl and young vigilante Kick-Ass, they were trying to live as normal teenagers Mindy and Dave. With graduation looming and uncertain what to do, Dave decides to start the world’s first superhero team with Mindy.

Unfortunately, when Mindy is busted for sneaking out as Hit Girl, she’s forced to retire—leaving her to navigate the terrifying world of high-school mean girls on her own. With no one left to turn to, Dave joins forces with Justice Forever, run by a born-again ex-mobster named Colonel Stars and Stripes. Just as they start to make a real difference on the streets, the world’s first super villain, The Mother F%&*^r, assembles his own evil league and puts a plan in motion to make Kick-Ass and Hit Girl pay for what they did to his dad. But there’s only one problem with his scheme: If you mess with one member of Justice Forever, you mess with them all.

First Official Look At The ‘Carrie’ Remake Starring Chloe Moretz

by Shawn MaddenAugust 23, 2012

So, when I was a small child my mom let me watch Carrie late at night in order to fuck with me. And Brian De Palma’s 1976 film definitely did. Well, not as bad as IT did…but that’s an entirely different story for another time. At first when I heard that they would be remaking this movie I was definitely against. But upon hearing that it would follow the Steven King story (I have actually read it) closer than the original movie would and after finding out the cast as well I am definitely going to give this one a chance. Take a first look at some pictures of the re-creation of probably one of the most memorable scenes in the movie.

The quiet suburb of Chamberlain, Maine is home to the deeply religious and conservative Margaret White (Moore) and her daughter Carrie (Moretz). Carrie is a sweet but meek outcast whom Margaret has sheltered from society. Gym teacher Miss Desjardin (Greer) tries in vain to protect Carrie from local mean girls led by the popular and haughty Chris Hargenson (Portia Doubleday, Youth in Revolt), but only Chris’ best friend, Sue Snell (Gabriella Wilde, The Three Musketeers), regrets their actions. In an effort to make amends, Sue asks her boyfriend, high school heartthrob Tommy Ross (newcomer Ansel Elgort), to take Carrie to prom. Pushed to the limit by her peers at the dance, Carrie unleashes telekinetic havoc.

by Shawn MaddenJuly 30, 2012

Deadline is reporting that John Leguizamo (Spawn, Summer Of Sam) is the first new cast member to sign on to the upcoming sequel to Mathew Vaughn’s Kick-Ass. Leguizamo will be playing Javier,one of the bodyguards assigned to protect Red Mist (now calling himself “Motherfucker”, leader of “The Toxic Mega-cunts) who will be played by the returning Christopher Mintz-Plasse. Aaron Johnson, Chloe Moretz and Nicholas Cage will all be reprising their roles in the movie as well.

Will ‘Kick-Ass 2’ Be Rated R? “Oh, yeah!”

by Shawn MaddenJune 16, 2012

Collider recently sat down with Aaron Johnson to discuss ‘Kick-Ass 2’ the sequel one of the best comic films of 2010.

The film tells the story of an ordinary teenager, Dave Lizewski, who sets out to become a real-life superhero, calling himself “Kick-Ass”. Dave gets caught up in a bigger fight when he meets Big Daddy, a former cop who, in his quest to bring down the drug lord Frank D’Amico, has trained his eleven-year-old daughter to be the ruthless vigilante Hit-Girl.

When asked about the sequel Johnson went on to say “It’s pretty much set to go, this Fall. I think now Chloe [Grace Moretz] and Chris [Mintz-Plasse] are on board. I’m certainly set up to do it. Jeff Wadlow is to direct. Yeah, I think it’s going to happen.”

Johnson went on to say that he has read the script and on the R-rating of the film “Oh, yeah! It keeps the standard, from the first film.”

He didn’t seem surprised that they were making a sequel to this film and seemed quite confident that it would live up to the expectations we may have after seeing the first. “Yeah, and I think that’s why Matthew Vaughn has got his name all over this one, as well. The only way he was ever going to make a sequel was if it could be anywhere close to the first one, and keep that class and that quality, and just maintain something original and new and refreshing. And this script delivers all of that, right now. I’m excited to get back in the suit.”

I’m really hoping this one goes into production soon. This was one of the truly fun comic-book movies to see come to life and even though we have a new director and i’d have loved for Matthew Vaughn to return…i’m still excited to see how this turns out.

Chloë Moretz Offered Lead in Remake of DePalma’s 1976 Horror Film “Carrie” For MGM!

by Matt LandsmanMarch 27, 2012

It was announced online today that MGM and Screen Gems have offered the titular role in their remake of the classic Brian DePalma horror film Carrie to 15-year-old actress Chloe Moretz (Kick-Ass, Hugo). The retelling of the 1974 Stephen King novel being directed by Kimberly Peirce (Stop-Loss, Boys Don’t Cry) is slated for a late 2013 release-date. A couple months back when the film was first announced, it was revealed that Roberto Aguirre-Sacasa, who helped rewrite the best-selling Spider-Man: Turn Off The Dark Broadway musical, had penned the new adaptation. Aguirre-Sacasa is said to have written a version that’s more faithful to the original novel and more grounded than the original film.

Carrie is about a girl in high school who’s regularly bullied by her classmates and her mother. Unbeknownst to them however, Carrie possesses dangerous telepathic powers. Just when it seems like her life is starting to turn around as she stands on stage with her hot date at prom, she falls victim to a mean-spirited prank designed by her peers. In an iconic and chilling scene, Carrie unleashes her psychic rage upon the high school prom.

We know thanks to Kick-Ass and Let Me In (the American retelling of Let The Right One In) that Moretz has the acting chops to pull off the role. She’s proved that she’s comfortable with a wide range of roles ranging from sweet and innocent to violent and dangerous. When (and if) she officially signs on, the studio will turn its attention to casting the roles of Carrie’s prom date and her mother.

Check out the trailer for the original 1976 Carrie, Directed by Brian DePalma.

Has MGM Found Their New Carrie?

by Eric DiazMarch 24, 2012

According to the Vulture.com, MGM has narrowed down their choice for the title role in their remake of Brian DePalma and Stephen King’s 1976 classic Carrie down to two actresses. The two main contenders for the part are said to be Chloe Moretz, better known to geeks as Hit Girl from Kick-Ass, and 24 year old Haley Bennett, who most people would only know from the movie The Haunting of Molly Hartley. Moretz is still only fifteen, so she hasn’t completely gotten over her awkward phase yet, which is a good thing. Bennett is a bit too sexy looking for Carrie White to me, and there is nothing I hate more than when Hollywood throws on a pair of glasses on an obviously sexy twenty something and musses up her hair, and suddenly expects us to buy that they are awkward outcast teenagers.

Is Hit-Girl Chloe Moretz our new Carrie White?

Some of the other actresses who tested for the part were Dakota Fanning, Emily Browning (Sucker Punch) Bella Heathcote (Dark Shadows) and Lily Collins (Mirror Mirror) In my opinion, each of these actresses is way too conventionally beautiful (and too old) to play the part of pale and awkward Carrie White, so I’m glad they were passed over. One of the big problems with so many of these horror remakes of classic movies is that every teenager looks like they are potential Victoria’s Secret or Abercrombie & Fitch models. Look at the original versions of Halloween, Nightmare on Elm Street or Friday the 13th; the teens look like teens, some of them even have visible zits. Now they all look they came out of some weird factory that only makes perfect, chiseled people (this factory also supplies the CW Network with the cast for all their shows) Carrie needs to be someone who can look real, awkward, and believably seventeen.

The last tidbit from this article is the most interesting: It seems director Kimberly Pierce is looking for either Jodie Foster or Julianne Moore to play the part of Margaret White, Carrie’s crazy fundamentalist mother. Either of these choices raises my interest level for this project a thousand fold. After seeing her play another ultra conservative unbalanced mom in the form of Sarah Palin in Game Change, I could totally see Julianne Moore totally delivering in this part. Or it could also be a huge acting comeback for Jodie Foster, who hasn’t had a mainstream hit movie in almost a decade. Either choice at least give me partial hope this project won’t be total a waste of time. But whoever ends up in either part has rather huge shoes to fill, because Sissy Spacek and Piper Laurie totally owned those roles.
