A Remake I'm Excited For?

So I know we're not overly fond of remakes, but it seems that although we've known for some time now that there is to be a remake of Stephen King's classic ; Carrie- The first pictures are FINALLY surfacing online. After surfing on horrorbid for a bit this morning, after finishing my ParaNorman review [you can read the review here], I noticed the news. So here I am to share it with you all! Whether you're aware or not, it's Chloe Grace Moretz who will be playing the famous telekinetic Carrie White; & although it's a remake- it's already looking really good. So without further delay, allow me to show you the pictures.


So here's the ORIGINAL Carrie White from the 1976 film.

Now that was 36 years ago and although some movies shouldn't be touched, and not be remade [I feel like I should be pointing a finger toward A Nightmare On Elm Street...] I think as good as Carrie was, it needs a good old touch up.. The film aged alright, but with Hollywood not having any imagination, why the fuck not? Now, below; here's the new picture of Chloe Grace Moretz playing Carrie White in the remake which is currently being made:

But let's not focus completely on Carrie.. I mean, can we really forget Carrie's mother? You know, the crazy bitch who kept assuming that Carrie was the was possessed, and evil? Well, as with all remakes- it won't be the same actress [Piper Laurie] playing Carrie's mother but rather Julianne Moore this time around.. Let me show you a comparison between the two :

Based on these pictures, I dare you to say you're not excited ! [and for a remake..what are the odds?] But seriously, to leave this on a high note: I'm going to leave you with the first poster released for the remake, and the trailer for the original Carrie.
