Chloe Moretz to play in “Carrie” remake

 
by Dimitris Ioannou

Chloe Moretz, the talented 15-year-old girl who played a young vampire in “Let Me In”, is about to play the leading role in the new Stephen King's “Carrie” remake by the director Kimberly Pierce, mostly known for 1999's “Boys Don't Cry”. Chloe says it will not remind at all of Brian De Palma's version.

“I'm actually not looking at the original,” she says, “even though De Palma's movie was one of the best movies ever made. It's completely iconic and I'm proud to be able to be doing a retooling of it. We're kind of going off the book.”

“It's darker and much more psychological,” she continues. “More 'Black Swan'. You're really looking into her mind and it really looks into the relationship of Margaret and Carrie. It's set in modern time, so it's a lot different.”

And as for her character: “It's something that's very different from me,” Moretz says of Carrie's appearance. “It's an out of body thing. I'm becoming a totally different person for it. I'm letting go of all of my self-esteem issues and just kind of going into it. You have to.”

“Carrie” is scheduled for a US release on March 13, 2013.
