10,000 People Really Like the ‘Carrie’ Remake
There’s only one Carrie, and that’s Brian De Palma’s 1976 classic starring Sissy Spacek, Piper Laurie, and Amy Irving.
And while I enjoy Chloë Grace Moretz, I don’t really recognize the 2013 re-remake as anything but a studio cash-grab. I get it, and that’s totally cool, but to obsess over the film like it’s some sort of modern classic is gut-wrenching to an old-school horror fanatic. Or maybe I’m just getting old? You tell me…
Ever since we posted about the extended cut of Evil Dead airing in the UK, I’ve been harassed with e-mails annoying the fuck out of me to push their petition that demands the release of the extended cut of Carrie, directed by Kimberly Peirce.
10,000 people signed it. That means there are 10,000 passionate fans that truly, with all of their hearts, want to see the deleted scenes from Peirce’s adaptation of the Stephen King novella.
So, while I’m annoyed beyond belief, I know what it’s like to feel that emotional about something. And even though I personally could care less to ever see the movie again, I would like to see these fans – who also have been calling for supporters to harass the studio – get what their bloody hearts desire.
You can join their goal of hitting 20,000 sigs. Why 20,000? I have absolutely no idea.
LEAVE ME ALONE NOW, PLEASE? Thanks!
