Line 4:
The third film adaptation of the [[Carrie|book of the same name]] by [[Stephen King]]. It tells the story of Carrie ([[Chloë Grace Moretz]]), a girl bullied at home and at school. Things kick off when she has her period and discovers she also has telekinetic powers.
It was written by playwright, [[Marvel Comics]] scribe and ''[[Glee]]'' writer/co-producer Roberto Aguirre-Sacasa, and directed by Kimberly Peirce (of ''[[Boys Don't Cry]]'' fame). Like the 2002 TV Movie adaptation, it was less of a remake of the [[Carrie (1976 film)|1976 film]] and more of a new adaptation of the King book, with the use of [http://bloody-disgusting.com/news/3136761/carrie-might-have-found-footage-elements-plus-some-words-from-chloe-moretz-on-the-project/ found-footage elements and interviews] to convey the book's [[Scrapbook Story]]. The reaction has been [[Internet Backdraft|unsurprising]] -- even King himself [http://www.joblo.com/movie-news/advice-to-those-remaking-carrie-theyre-all-gonna-laugh-at-you questioned whether it was necessary] -- though Sissy Spacek [https://web.archive.org/web/20140621030204/http://www.comingsoon.net/news/movienews.php?id=89904 didn't seem to mind].
