Not sure how I feel about a Carrie remake. Some classics just should remain. But this stunt to promote the new movie is awesome.

Already been one in '99. Wasn't bad, actually:

 

 

And now this second one,  simply called "Carrie" again. Great stunts, great find, thanks!

 

 

-------------

edit: How weird, put pic links in from IMDB, showed after posting, then went away, replaced with letter codes.

 

Added again from Google Image Search.

 

edit2: second one just disappeared again, too.

 

edit3: second one was from IMDB again, looks like they've found a way to zap linked images from them, but on a slight delay, weird. Put second image back in from another source.

Technically, the one in 99 was a sequel, not a remake. The new one seems to hew pretty close to the original scene by scene from what I can tell from the previews. Plus it has Julianne Moore. :drool: Edited October 10, 2013 by Chucktshoes

Seemed to be almost exactly same story to me, actually watched it only a few months ago, again. Same gal with tele, prom, same crazy mother, etc.?

Hollywood only has like 10 original ideas from which everything is just a variation of a theme.

Yeah the first time I saw the prank I was thinking the customers must have been thinking they were witnessing the first Xman. But as for the remake, the girl that plays Carrie is Hitgirl from the Kickass movies. I think it will be pretty good. I never thought of Carrie as a classic horror, good movie but not classic status.

Further proof that Hollywood is out of original ideas.

..I never thought of Carrie as a classic horror, good movie but not classic status.

 

Call it what genre you like, but I strongly disagree and call it a classic horror flick, truly groundbreaking.

 

God rest him, Mr. Ebert agrees with me. :)

 

"Brian De Palma's "Carrie" is an absolutely spellbinding horror movie, with a shock at the end that's the best thing along those lines since the shark leaped aboard in "Jaws." It's also (and this is what makes it so good) an observant human portrait. This girl Carrie isn't another stereotyped product of the horror production line; she's a shy, pretty, and complicated high school senior who's a lot like kids we once knew.......

 

....I wouldn't want to spoil the movie's climax for you by even hinting at what happens next. Just let me say that "Carrie" is a true horror story. Not a manufactured one, made up of spare parts from old Vincent Price classics, but a real one, in which the horror grows out of the characters themselves.The scariest horror stories -- the ones by M.R. James, Edgar Allan Poe, and Oliver Onions -- are like this. They develop their horrors out of the people they observe. That happens here, too. Does it ever."

It was the same story, just with the girl being related somehow to the original Carrie, from what I recall. It's been a loooong time since I've seen it, but from what I recall it was a continuation of the original story.
