25-YEAR OLD PLASTIC SURGERY ADDICT WANTS TO PLAY CARRIE

Dear god that casting decision would be up there with if they'd secured Paul Hogan for Ghost all those years ago. Fox could probably do a half decent bitchy popular girl that helps push Carrie over the edge. Really, if they do have to redundantly remake, Alex is dead-on, 'mousey' would be the best adjective for what you need.

I'd think more of an actress along the lines of maybe a Carey Mulligan (tho her career seems to be doing far too well to bother with this crap) or an Elisabeth Moss (tho she may be a bit too old) would be what you're looking for.

But mousey is what you want. Not foxy, mousey.

wow, I was wondering how they could make me care less about this. voila.

This is so ripe. Fox is on cocaine or something she won't get a wiff of this role.

Oh also glad to see i'm not the only one who didn't think she helped Jennifer's Body.

As I said in the other thread go the other way make this girl different and not Megan Fox different give the audience a character thats not a model thats a real person its the only way to make it tragic which is the only place they can take this.

Well if Platinum Dunes output on remakes has taught me anything its that they could go another place with this - a crappy, flashy gaudy PG place - in fact I'm almost positive that'll be the film we eventually ignore when it comes out.
 

The Vegas odds concur with you RD. You know there is a sports saying though " Thats why we play the games. " to see the results so who know.

I don't have a huge problem with this. I'd just watch the shower scene and leave. Win/Win.

"She’s apparently trying to get some real acting roles, but the problem is that she’s never shown that she can act. Not a bit."

I guess I'll say it again. Thought she more than held her own in Jennifer's Body. She was actually working with decent material, but I thought she showed some chops in that role. Outside of that, I've seen her in Transformers. That's it. Of course she's wrong for Carrie. But you can't blame a gal for trying to get a gig.

I'd suggest Angela Bettis but they already made (I mead remade) that movie.

Cmon guys, you can't see "unpopular outcast" in MF? Wonder why.

Just use the Hollywood trick and toss some glasses on her... and... uh...

What of the movie consisted of close-ups of her thumbs? "NOOOOOO!!!! They're all gonna laugh at your thumbs!!!!"

She's been lousy in everything I've seen her in, including Jennifer's Body, though something about her demeanor does make her more suited to playing a bitch. That said, I wouldn't mind it if she got the Carrie role and tried to ugly herself up. As far as I'm concerned the more hilarious this turns out the better.

This literally feels like an Onion article or one of those wacky "movie within a movie" jokes like Good Will Hunting 2: Hunting Season.  They couldn't find a less suitable actress other than, maybe, Sophia Loren or Harvey Feirstein.

Someone pointed out the Angela Bettis TV remake (which was actually the 3-hour pilot for a Fugitive-style series that never aired). I remember watching that and appreciating that they had used their ample TV budget to make the apocalypse she wages more faithful to the book. And I have to admit Bettis was decent in the role.

But remaking it as an actual feature film is really stupid. Besides, they already kind of did. Remember The Rage: Carrie 2? Where "Carrie" was a rather fuckable goth chick who ends up with some really boss rosevine tattoos on her arms at the end and is actually kind of a cool outcast? You spend the whole movie wondering why she gives a fuck what these uppity douchebags think of her.

It's a stupid movie directed by Katt Shea Rubin.

Amy Irving gets impaled through the head, though.

That's a good thing.

Speaking of The Rage: Carrie 2, Emily Bergl's on Twitter!!!

Well she's clearly a pariah on CHUD! They could do a new version of Carrie where hot Megan Fox tries to fit in with the Nerd Crowd, only to be rejected....

And lest we forget, there was this Super-Model type once who got all Ugly Make up on and played a serial killer...pretty well I think.

I second that Harvey Fierstein starring Carrie remake. I would see that movie 5 times in the theater and buy the Blu-ray.

This Megan Fox thing trying to get the role? Couldn't get me to watch it if she got naked in it. I saw Jonah Hex and loved it, but she had nothing to do with that at all. In fact, they should have used another actress. She's "eye candy" and terrible "eye candy" at that. Her 15 minutes are up. Now that new broad in the third Transformers movie. She's rocking it good.

This role really calls for an unknown with no baggage.

A totally unnecessary remake.  There's no way you can top the De Palma film in the public eye.  It's too iconic.  Megan Fox announcing that she wants this role is the clearest indication she's ever given of what a moron she is.

But if they had to do it, finding the next Emily Perkins (Ginger Snaps) would be the way to go.

So sad when they dropped her character from Supernatural. She'd make a great Carrie - can turn a character on a dime.

Perkins is 34 now, married with two kids.  And, unlike Fox, she has a brain.  Her years of teen roles are past and she knows it.

 I have figured out away to remake Carrie and for it to be relevant in 2011. Make Carrie gay. This is why she would be bullied at school. Of course her mother would still be a bible thumping nut.

Talk about righteous indignation. Remaking Carrie just makes no sense. I think DePalma executed that about as well as anyone could have.

Also Piper Laurie makes that film with her creepy performance. That won't be equaled.

Oh god. Just realized the potential for the whole "Cyber Bullying Generation" thing. The shower scene being a youtube video etc. Ugh.

Though could be mildly hilarious that her powers are so huge by the end that she Grudge's everyone who ever clicked the link - all 12 million.

Then the film could double as, like, Lawnmower Man 3! Genius!!

More as a lame update of the "arm out of the ground" gotcha from the original...but yeah - many opportunities for even worse sequels.

I'm trying to remember a movie that spoofed Carrie back in the day - the Carrie stand-in uses her power to cut her mother's head off with an electric can opener mounted to the kitchen wall. The mother neatly spins in place as it cuts around her neck. It's one of those "Did I dream it?" memories, but I'm pretty sure it's for real. Anybody recognize that scene? Or remember a horror spoof movie from the early 80s?

 Has it really been that long? Geez, I am getting old.

KARRIE, an updated version of the DePalma classic in which a psychotic opera star uses his MINDPOWERS to terrorise a weird shut-in and her overprotective, Internet-savvy daughter.

One thing they could do... (They won't) is do a film version of the short-lived musical.

It would probably be God awful but I would definitely watch it.

CARRIE BAD THINGS: During a bachelor party, a shy mousy hooker is left for dead and vows telekinetic revenge.

CARRY ON CARRIE!: A British sex comedy version! Instead of pig's blood, it's jello. And the gals wrestle in it.

THERE'S SOMETHING ABOUT CARRIE: "Ugly duckling turned prom queen" teen comedy.

CARRIE AND THE HENDERSONS: She's made fun of because she's different... and a Bigfoot.
