Casting for MGM and Screen Gems CARRIE rehash continues; one added and another confirmed…
Deadline is reporting that Judy Greer has indeed been added to the cast of Kimberly Peirce’s remake, as we hinted at a month ago. Also, Portia Doubleday (above) will join Chloe Moretz, Julianne Moore, Alex Russell and Ansel Elgort in the flick.
Word is Doubleday will play bad girl Chris Hargensen and Judy Greer will play the gym teacher Miss Desjardin.
Place their roles in this context:
In one way or another, everybody abused Carrie. Her fanatical mother forbade this sixteen-year-old misfit everything that was young and fun. She was teased and taunted by her classmates, misunderstood by her teachers, and given up as hopeless by almost everyone.
But Carrie had a secret: she possessed terrifying telekinetic powers that could make inanimate objects move, a lighted candle fall, or a door lock. Carrie could make all kinds of startling bizarre, and malevolent things happen. And so she did one night, when feeling scorned and humiliated…and growing angrier and angrier…she became the vengeful demon who let the whole town feel her power.
