Now I am not going to panic just yet but recently Roger Birnbaum said that the upcoming remake of Stephen King’s “Carrie” will have aspects of “found footage” within the film. Okay so I am alittle panicked. By the time this comes out the whole found footage thing is like already over done to death! So how can they take such a risk on one of the possibly coolest remakes in the works? I think they are taking too much of a chance. This remake already has the potential of being a big joke simply because nothing will ever stand as strong as the original and to mess with the core concept can either come off as laughable or brilliant. I think the found footage additive within this remake will be more laughable than brilliant. Sorry to say that but I hope I am wrong!Chloe Moretz (Let Me In) is starring in the title role, and that Roberto Aguirre-Sacasa's (HBO's"Big Love") screenplay is supposed to be more a re-adaptation of King's original novel than a remake of Brian De Palma's 1976 classic. Julianne Moore has been offered the role of Margaret White but it could go to Jody Foster as well. Who knows, this film already has me cringing, and not in the good way! Well at least the poster is cool-ish.
