After meeting and reading a group of young actresses for Carrie, MGM, Screen Gems and director Kim Peirce have made their decision and made the formal offer today to Chloe Moretz. If negotiations work out, she’ll play the title role in the remake of the Brian DePalma original that was based on the 1974 Stephen King bestseller. She’s expected to play the shy high school student Carrie White, who is raised by a nightmarish religious fanatic mother, and comes to grip with devastating telepathic powers just as she reaches puberty. She eventually uses those gifts for lethal means when fellow classmates use the prom as an excuse to humiliate her before the entire school in a parable about bullying. Sissy Spacek played the character in the first movie, with Piper Laurie playing her mother, and Amy Irving, Nancy Allen, John Travolta, Betty Buckley and William Katt rounding out the cast. Both Spacek and Laurie got Oscar nominations for their work in the 1976 film.

The studio and Peirce have been meeting with actresses for the past two weeks. Word all along was that while names like Dakota Fanning were circulating, Peirce and the studio had an eye on Moretz. The studio denied it at the time, but what actually happened is, Moretz didn’t meet with Peirce until last weekend. She got the job immediately. Moretz, who first came on with performances in Kick-Ass, (500) Days Of Summer and Let Me In, is at the top of the crop of young actresses. Coming off Martin Scorsese’s Hugo, her next major film is the Tim Burton-directed Dark Shadows with Johnny Depp. She’s repped by WME and 3 Arts. Roberto Aguirre-Sacasa wrote the script.

Insiders said that once they make Moretz’s deal, they will focus on landing the psycho mom and supporting cast and they will shoot this year.

I think she's a great young actress, interesting to see how she'll do in the role. I'm already sure this will be better than the last remake at least! Lol

Another remake that is not needed. She is a great young actress that will do well in that role, but it will never be as great as the original.

She is a great young actress, but I think she might be TOO young an actress. Carrie is 17, Chloe just turned 15 and looks even younger than that. Unless she has a crazy growth spurt between now and filming, I don't see me being able to buy her as a senior in high school.

There really is nothing saying that she has to be a senior. I'm sure that is one of the aspects of the remake.

Well, the fact that the prom is a huge part of the movie means she SHOULD be. I know they could find ways around that, having a senior take her as his date or whatever, but I'd rather they just stick with the story and not screw with it.

I was thinking the same thing as Troy at first but yeah, the prom plays a major role. Who knows how this is going to play out though!

They already remade 'Carrie' in 2002, we don't need another.

This can make up for that remake hopefully, show that a remake actually can be decent.
