Stephen King's 'Carrie' remake

[Majik1387]

Oh, go back to your casting threads and tell everyone else how wrong they are.

Way ahead of you.

I've heard any remake of IT will have the kid scenes set in the 80s instead of the 50s. Which could work.

Although, if a Salem's Lot remake ever happens, I hope it stays set in the 70s.

I don't like the "well-intentioned/misunderstood nut" this film is trying to sell to us with Moore's Margaret White.

I really didn't get that vibe from the trailer. What about it made you feel that way?

She didn't come across as anymore "well-intentioned" or "misunderstood" in this trailer to me than she did in the old movie. I don't get what you're saying. Carrie is still seen as the well-intentioned and misunderstood one in the trailer.

I don't either, she acts like a friggin nutcase. Unless slamming your head into a door repeatedly, locking your daughter in a closet, and trying to knife her is somehow 'well-intentioned/misunderstood'

I haven't seen the 70s film yet, I was working off more from the book. In this remake Margaret takes her kid to school, takes her home after the incident, and shows what appears to be genuine concern, but takes things too far because of her own issues and mental instability. She doesn't seem to have the mean-spirit and thinly-veiled hatred towards Carrie of the book Margaret.

 

[Ultimatehero]

I will say Marget seems less creepy as well.

Trying to kill your daughter because you think she's a demon, and claiming to do it "in the name of God" isn't thinly veiled hatred to you?

Yeah, but in the remake Margaret's case it seems like she really does love her daughter, and the "you're a demon" stuff is just her own mental instability getting in the way. Where as with book Margaret, she personally hates Carrie and the "you're a demon" stuff is just pretext.

And you never considered perhaps the reason why she hates her daughter and thinks she is a demon is because she is mentally unstable?

 

[Ultimatehero]

I think, I might be wrong though that what Saitou is getting at is - in the original she seemed creepy and messed up, almost like a monster in those regards. While in the remake she seems more normal and just mentally disturbed but not off her rocker evil.

If you're talking about the book Margaret, she comes off as a genuinely mean-spirited person, or at the very least her mental instability is mostly brought upon by herself.

Anyone call the number from the trailer? Personally it scared the crap outta me

 

[Ultimatehero]

It freaked me out in that I thought I accidentally called the wrong number lol. I took the red pill and pressed 1.

yeah rewatching it they seem to be going for a more bipolar/manic depressive take on her.

Yeah the recording that got to me was the one with the mother humming with Carrie screaming from the closet in the background. Definitely shouldn't have done this with it being very late at night.

Kudos to the poster who gets this reference.

 

[flickchick85]

Looks ok, even if it doesn't appear to be bringing much new to the table. I'd still see it for the book's ending alone, tbh.

[Still Wynning]

I just saw the trailer for this. This actually looks pretty good.

 

[Dave McFly]

yeah too bad it comes out in FALL instead of this month like it was SUPPOSED too

 

[747]

Hey, trailer is quite good. Moore and Moretz playing off eachother seems especially interesting.

 

[Greens]

Despite the massive spoilers, it's a really good trailer
