Remakes are one of the most successful projects Hollywood takes upon itself. Though originality is lacking, rehashing previous movies is hoped to bring in the crowds. If there were any who greatly anticipated the remake of 1976’s “Carrie,” there will now be more time to wait because the release will happen seven months later than planned.

Originally, the new version of Stephen King’s classic was going to be released in March, but has now been moved to the month of horror, October. The main interplay of mother and daughter would have been portrayed by Chloe Moretz and Julianne Moore. It is directed by Kimberly Peirce whose best known work is “Boys Don’t Cry.”

It is still unknown why Sony decided to shift release dates and could simply just be doing it because Halloween would be a great marketing ploy. Whether it will be a “trick or treat” will depend on the reviews, but the new version of the old horror classic will appear on the eighteenth in a theater near you.

    Loved the book, Loved the original and totally understand (sometimes) why remakes happen, some see it as a quick cash in or a lack of originality. But it is a great way to get some truly great stories to a new generation, a generation that has been smothered by CGI and truly over the top action/stunts etc who would steer well clear of the original versions because over that reason! However, it can and does take peeps away from some truly outstanding and original indie stuff too. Stuff that the big studio’s would be better of promoting or distributing instead of always putting their cash onto the remake treadmill, stuff like “The Eschatrilogy: Book of the Dead which will probably not get the audience that it deserves due to being truly indie. Doubt this post will be allowed due to the link….but hope the great peeps at Latino Review will allow it….being the true movie lovers they are…..
