Although it sounds like this film will follow the book a bit more, I still don't like how they're kind of going with an attractive/sexy angle. First they pick someone who is pretty, then they release a pic like that were she kind of has a seductive "I will eat you alive" look on her face.

Carry is supposed to be way more of a plain Jane if not fairly unattractive.

 

[DaRkVeNgeanCe]

Ya to end all debates on her being attractive or not, she looks pretty damn good above.

 

[dark_b]

i get it.on a magazine cover the actor needs to loook attractive. i get it. this is marketing.

but its carrie and its blood. how can you have her face so clean in a promo pic? just hoooooooooooooooooooooow??????????????

 

[Majik1387]

Yeah, she's way too clean and not scary enough looking for the cover.

 

[John Locke]

I think the idea is they don't want calls from parents who's children see the cover in the store and are terrified. Although I think it's more of the magizine photo shoot rather than from the film.

Debate is about her being too attractive.

A female....too...attractive.....?

Does not compute.

Set report.


If appearances in movies were at all like Entertainment Weekly covers then all Comic Book films would look like the sweded versions. EW's covers almost universally terrible.

Bloody disgusting reports a lot of practical effects being used in the town destruction scenes.

Its like the opposite of that stupid MJ debate in the Spidey-boards.

Maybe this is the bizarro TASM thread...

 

[Majik1387]

Nah, I haven't seen too many "she's too pretty for Carrie" posts in here, unless it's become second nature for me to ignore them in here.
I'll just say my complaint about her being too pretty on that cover has everything to do with EW and really nothing to do with Chloe.
If anything, it should have just been her pre-blood on the cover. It just makes no sense as it is right now.

 

[ThePhantasm]

I've been reading but not commenting in this thread for awhile, and I've seen quite a few "she's too pretty" posts... but I wasn't talking about you Majik.

With the amount of anti-bullying going on in the news and just bullying in general, I feel like this film couldn't have come out at a better time. It's kind of the ultimate anti-bullying movie. I could see the younger generation (those unfamiliar with the DePalma movie or King's Book) really embrace it.

Very valid point actually.

Moretz on playing Carrie

Well what I definitely wanted to not do is steal what [Sissy Spacek] did, because I think what she did was amazing and iconic and everyone knows the typical hands-out, eyes-open look. There were so many times when someone [would suggest that]. People wouldn't even think about it but I was doing one of the photoshoots and someone was like, "Just stick your hands out like this!" and I was like, "No! I can't do that," because the minute I do that I'll be stealing someone else's character. My main thing about this film was building my own Carrie, and she's not what Sissy did, she's not what De Palma made Carrie to be, it's what Kim and I have constructed to be this being, what we have made into this living, breathing human.

But it took a while to figure out what exactly—I remember the first time, it was the screen test. I was already here and we were just testing all the clothing and stuff and we did one of the TK tests, which had special effects and all this wind and stuff. I was like, "Uh Kim, we haven't really talked about this. What am I supposed to do?" And we ended up coming up with some interesting stuff that, I'll tell you what it's pretty cool. We did some onset visual effects, so in one of these scenes I'm practicing my TK and when I move my hand over something it actually moves, so it's kind of a little bit like Harry Potter (laughs), it's really cool. At one point in your life you've looked a remote and been like "Move!" But it actually happened, so.

Yes, murder is the answer to bullying. Sounds like Columbine actually.

I just don't see how someone that looks like Chloe Moretz could get bullied in school. Moretz is going to be an absolute babe when she grows up.

The pretty girls in high school get bullied just as much by the other girls looking to stay on top. Not to mention any girl who is so ignorant that she does not know what a period is and thinks she is bleeding to death will be teased her entire high school career no matter what she looks like.

 

[jmc]

I always wondered how the hell Carrie could be so ignorant given how early they teach sex ed.

Religious mother and they can't teach it to kids in the US without parental consent.
