Carrie remake will ‘mess with your mind’
Los Angeles – Chloe Moretz says the Carrie remake will “mess with your mind”.
The Kick-Ass actress compares the forthcoming remake of the 1976 horror film to 2010 thriller – which stars Mila Kunis and Natalie Portman – and admits the rebooted movie will be mainly based on the Stephen King novel of the same name.
She said: “The script is totally different from the [original]. It’s more like the book. It’s a more Black Swan version – it messes with your mind. You’ll see things, and you don’t know if you’ve seen them.”
Chloe stars as the titular character – a bullied schoolgirl who discovers she has psychic powers and uses them to cause havoc in her hometown – in the movie alongside Julianne Moore, who plays her fundamentalist mother.
The 15-year-old star insists she isn’t going to watch the original Brian De Palma motion picture – which sees Sissy Spacek portray the titular character – because she wants to put her “own take” on her alter ego.
She added to Vanity Fair magazine: “I’m not watching it in preparation for the movie, because we’re doing something totally different, and I’m trying to bring my own take into it.
“I am changing everything about me – my hair, my look. I’m doing my own take on [the character].”
Carrie is due to be released in March 2013.
