Chloe Moretz talks going Black Swan in the new version of Carrie

Last Updated on July 23, 2021

Hot on the heels of the most recent casting announcements for Kimberly Peirce’s CARRIE remake comes an interview with Carrie herself, Chloe Moretz, who told Vanity Fair about the story and her take on the character. Here’s what she had to say…

…on how this version of Carrie differs from De Palma’s:

“I am changing everything about me—my hair, my look. I’m doing my own take on [the character]. The script is totally different from the [original]. It’s more like the book. It’s a more Black Swan version—it messes with your mind. You’ll see things, and you don’t know if you’ve seen them.”

…on getting to star alongside Julianne Moore:

“I don’t know if we are supposed to bond [because of our characters’ relationship], but I feel like we both will because we’re both cool.”

It’s always good to hear when remakes don’t just try to blatantly copy the original and this one definitely looks to be doing its own thing. Considering all the talent involved, I’d say we have good reasons to be excited.
