A week or so ago we shared magazine scans of the first photos from Carrie, Sony and MGM’s retelling of Stephen King’s novella that stars Chloe Moretz in the title role. Now, we’ve landed high resolution versions of the film’s first ever photos; one depicts a blood-soaked and shocked Moretz, the other her psychotic mother, played by Julianne Moore.

Kimberly Peirce also directs Alex Russell, Ansel Elgort, Gabriella Wilde, Judy Greer and Portia Doubleday.

In theaters March 15, 2013, “‘Carrie’ tells the supernatural tale of a telekinetic teenage girl tormented by her peers. 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 (Doubleday), but only Chris’ best friend, Sue Snell (Wilde), regrets their actions. In an effort to make amends, Sue asks her boyfriend, high school heartthrob Tommy Ross (Ansel Elgort), to take Carrie to prom. Pushed to the limit by her peers at the dance, Carrie unleashes telekinetic havoc.”

Brian De Palma’s 1976 film version of Carrie earned Oscar nominations for stars Sissy Spacek and Piper Laurie. READ MORE

Everyone and their mom (literally) knows about the infamous pig’s blood scene from Stephen King’s Carrie, which launches the teen into an unstoppable rage of violence and destruction. But to be frank, it’s kind of bumming me out that the pinnacle of this classic story is already being shared with us in a slew of images. The latest comes via Director Kimberly Peirce who shared a new look at Chloe Moretz as the title character from the titular moment. Moretz is literally covered in blood and flames are bursting all around her. What are we supposed to look forward to now? At least save the money shot for the trailer!

Julianne Moore, Alex Russell, Ansel Elgort, Gabriella Wilde, Judy Greer and Portia Doubleday all star.

In the coming months young superstar Chloe Grace Moretz will transform into a psychic prom queen when she becomes the third person to channel the character Carrie, the title role in the latest adaptation of Stephen King’s coming-of-age novella.

In a new interview with Vanity Fair, the young starlette explains that she’s going to go under quite a transformation for the MGM reboot also starring Julianne Moore, Alex Russell, Ansel Elgort, Gabriella Wilde, Judy Greer and Portia Doubleday:

“I am changing everything about me—my hair, my look. I’m doing my own take on [the character],” she explains on the difference between her role and De Palma’s 1976 Carrie. “The script is totally different from the [original]. It’s more like the book. It’s a more Black Swan version—it messes with your mind. You’ll see things, and you don’t know if you’ve seen them.”

This time around, Moore will be playing her abrasive and psychotic mother. But Moretz feels they will still connect on set: “I don’t know if we are supposed to bond [because of our characters’ relationship], but I feel like we both will because we’re both cool.” READ MORE

Even though sources close to the production denied our exclusive casting report, we always trust our personal sources, one of which told us that Judy Greer (pictured below) had been cast as the gym teacher Miss Desjardin in MGM’s Carrie reboot. They were right. In addition, it’s also been reported that Portia Doubleday has been locked to play bad girl Chris Hargensen.

Nancy Allen played Hargensen in the original and Betty Buckley played the sympathetic gym teacher who comforts Carrie White when she menstruates and doesn’t understand what is happening because of the guilt hammered into her by her repressive mother. Hargensen triggers Carrie’s telekinetic powers with an atrocious prom prank, says Deadline.

They’ll all star alongside Chloe Moretz, Julianne Moore, Alex Russell and Ansel Elgort, with Moretz taking the title role and Moore playing her psychotic mother.

Chronicle star Alex Russell (pictured above) and Off Broadway thesp Ansel Elgort are in negotiations to join the cast of MGM and Screen Gems’ Carrie remake, which stars Chloe Moretz in the title role and Julianne Moore as her mother, Variety reports.

King’s bestselling book was turned into the 1976 film that starred Sissy Spacek, John Travolta, Amy Irving and Piper Laurie as the repressive mother.
