Carrie (2013 film)/Trivia

Trivia about  includes:


 * Dawson Casting:
 * Averted with 15-year-old Chloë Grace Moretz as Carrie. Moretz was a year younger than Carrie in the book and three years younger than Carrie's age in this adaptation, which is 18.
 * Played straight with some of the other teenage characters, making Moretz' Carrie look even younger, smaller, and more vulnerable in comparison:
 * 23-year-old Gabriella Wilde as Sue Snell.
 * 24-year-old Portia Doubleday as Chris Hargensen.
 * 24-year-old Alex Russell as Billy Nolan. (Then again, it's mentioned that he doesn't go to the school, meaning that there's a good chance he's older than high school age.)
 * Dyeing for Your Art: Portia Doubleday, a natural blonde, became brunette to play Chris.
 * Executive Meddling: Both the director and Chloë Moretz said that this film would be more like the book, but it ended up being essentially a Shot for Shot Remake so either this trope or Lying Creator is in play.
 * Fake American: English actress Gabriella Wilde as Sue, and Australian Alex Russell as Billy.
 * Hey, It's That Guy!/Retroactive Recognition: May God help all the supervillains in New York, because Hit-Girl now has real superpowers. (On top of her being a vampire.) Meanwhile, Matt Garrety has lost his superpowers and is now experiencing what it's like to be on the receiving end of them.
 * Method Acting: According to directory Kimberly Pierce, Chloë Grace Moretz sewed her own dresses, and spent hours on end locked in a closet in order to simulate what Carrie's mother put her through.
 * Real Life Relative: In the Japanese dub Keiko Han and Megumi Han, who are mother and daughter, voice Margaret and Carrie respectively.
 * What Could Have Been: Shailene Woodley was offered the role of Carrie, but turned it down, while Haley Bennett, Dakota Fanning, Emily Browning, Lily Collins and Bella Heathcote all auditioned. Jodie Foster was also considered to play Margaret.
