The tone of the new Carrie trailer is interesting. I had a ho-hum feeling when I read of another remake, even with the accompanying news that Hit Girl herself, Chloe Grace Moretz, would be joining Julianne Moore as Carrie and her mom, respectively.
The second trailer now available on WhatHappenedtoCarrie.com, along with that official URL and preferred hashtag, brings a little more enthusiasm.
In wonderful Stephen King fashion, you'll recall, the novel looks back on the event with a pop culture scrapbook approach that includes excerpts from articles including preliminary reports of a rain of stones from the Wendover, Maine, Enterprise, a Reader's Digest "Drama In Real Life" account and references to a memoir called We Survived the Black Prom.
Maybe the trailer's misleading, but I find myself intrigued by a potential point-of-view that looks at the town in flames and attempts to explain how things got that way. That gives things a little distance from the Brian De Palma original and even takes a step or two away from the 2002 version which flashed back from a police interview.
A remake's really uncalled for, but if there's gotta be one...

I'd prefer if they made a Blood Hunter or Night Brothers 1, myslef, instead of another remake of this one.
Oh, man, we came close this week on the YA's. Looks like it's not going to happen, but for a half a minute it looked promising.
