You Will Know Her Name


"Pray little girl. Pray for forgiveness."

Chloe Grace Moretz is all set to set the big screen alight (literally) in a new adaption of Stephen King's celebrated Carrie.

With more spiritual and religious overtones than the original and allowing for an update which takes modern day social media into account (through tweeting and status updates), the new Carrie is set to be a hybrid of something old and new that will shock while drawing you into the experience of growing up in Carrie's world. In the brief flashes seen, Julianne Moore is frightfully convincing as Margaret, Carries deeply religious mother who beats and locks up her daughter in the cellar for being "a sinner". The effect on Carrie's psyche when coupled with being the awkward teenager at school bullied for not fitting in, results in a telekinetic onslaught that ensures after Spring 2013, the world will remember her name.. again.
