Welcome to “Trailer Tuesday” where I talk about trailers for upcoming movies.

This is the trailer I intended to share and discuss last week while on vacation, until I encountered problems posting it on my phone.  Take a look at the trailer for the upcoming adaptation of Carrie, and read on for a few thoughts below:

Honestly, for me it will be tough to live up to the 1976 version starring Sissy Spacek and directed by Brian De Palma.  For me, that version is a masterpiece, so it will be interesting to see how they adapt Stephen King’s novel this time.  They’ve chosen two stellar leads in Chloe Grace Moretz as Carrie and Julianne Moore as her mother, so that’s a step in the right direction.  I worry that the film will overdo things and lose the characters in the process, but we’ll have to wait and see.  I never really considered the Carrie to be a horror story, and I don’t want them to turn it into one.  I hope they can pull it off, though.  The trailer certainly features many of the big moments from the original film (and presumably the book, though I’ve never read it), including the traumatic shower sequence and the blood-soaked finale.

What do you think?  Are you looking forward to this remake/new adaptation of Carrie?  What do you think of the casting of Moore and Moretz?  There’s no way it can be worse than The Rage: Carrie 2, can it?  Let me know in the comments!
