TRAILER: 'Carrie'

Sony has released the very revealing full trailer to the new big screen version of Stephen King's classic horror novel Carrie starring Chloë Grace Moretz and Julianne Moore. Directed by Kimberly Peirce, the film promises to adhere close to the source material, but as you can see maintains much of the imagery first put on the big screen in 1976 that showcased the horrific telekinetic powers the tormented teen possessed.

The original film starred Sissy Spacek as Carrie White and was directed by Brian De Palma (who gave his blessing on the remake, and passed the torch to the Boys Don't Cry helmer Peirce).

After watching this, to me there isn't much surprise left in the film. It seemingly takes us from the beginning to the iconic blood soaked firery climax at Carrie's prom. Even if you haven't seen the original, this trailer really feels the need to take you step by step through the whole movie. Good idea?

Carrie is set for release October 18th, and not the date seen on this one sheet released before the date was pushed back.
