Hollywoodland seems to be learning when it comes to movie remakes, as in 2013 there hasn't seemed to have been the same onslaught of re-imagined and rebooted film franchises so far. Saying that though, this October
Stephen King's seminal horror novel gets another big screen outing as
Carrie returns.
In the classic 1976 supernatural horror
Sissy Spacek and
Piper Laurie played the infamous daughter and mother combo, one a telekinetic teenage outcast and the other her abusive religious parent.
For her portrayal as
Carrie, Spacek was nominated for an
Oscar for
Best Actress and
Laurie for
Supporting Actress, so those are pretty impressive and daunting shoes to fill.
Fortunately this incarnation of the tormented high school student who's pushed too far at her senior prom and exacts revenge against her small town, is played by the stellar
Chloe Grace Moretz and what's more, her mother is
Julianne Moore, so
Daily Billboard thinks we may be in good hands.
It's still a remake though and we essentially know the story, so the challenge will be to be true to the original story, but to bring something new and inventive to the mix, and we're not just talking about better special effects.
At least the ad campaign for the
Carrie remake is pretty compelling and certainly grabs your attention.
The fiery standard landscape billboard was first spotted along
La Brea Avenue in
Hollywood on September 23, whilst the smaller billboard and bus shelter poster creatives were spied on October 5, along
Fairfax Avenue.
The large, striking portrait
'You will know her name' creative was photographed at
Sunset & Vine on October 7, 2013.
If you're a fan of
Chloe Grace Moretz, be sure to also check out these cool
Kick-Ass movie billboards in which she plays
Hit-Girl.
Looks like it's time to fear the name
Carrie again, just in time for
Halloween.
