I think Chloe will do fine. She has the innocent look and the disturbed look, and as an actress, judging merely by the footage of this film, I can see she has that down.
What?? Carrie is a character that requests the exactly opposite of an over the top performance. Who watched the original and read the book are aware of that.
Well, it's either or. If she can't be over the top, 2+ acting mannerisms will certainly do just fine when the exact opposite of how Carrie should be is over the top. I have seen the original and read the book, but this is a new take on Carrie, and I'm willing to wait to see how it turns out.
A girl with psychic powers who ends up killing people and destroying her town, that's already over the top on their own.
Also, Chloe's performance in Let Me In was very subtle. And we're talking about a girl who has worked with Martin Scorsese and Tim Burton at the age of 15.

Describing Carrie like that it's almost an offense to Stephen King's novel and the original movie. If you are familar with the whole story and pay attention to character development, I recommend you watch or read the book again because you totally misundertstood the concept. And anyways I'm not talking about the narrative. I'm talking about the performance. And the character. So you also misunderstood what I'm talking about.
I finished the book a while ago (actually, the day of prom last year! :P) I really hope this is something special. I think they are going in the right direction, but I want to feel the same sympathy for Carrie that I felt in the novel.
When you look into the story, she was just a poor girl who was never given the chance to love, or to be loved. I don't remember the exact quote, or who said it from the book, but it went something like: "She looked beautiful. Before her coronation, I hope she loved it and felt happy. I really do."

Btw, Julianne looks fantastic!
Yeah I felt sorry for Carrie all throughout the book. Chris was such a bitch.
Saw it yesterday. One of the worst horrorfilms I've ever seen. And that's all because this film has a huge identity crises.
The first part felt like a dark comedy (people were laughing at my theater when Julianne Moore was being her orthodox character and speaking that bible nonsense (no offense)) The second part felt romantic and dramatic (the ball) The third part was supposed to give a horror feeling, but it failed because the first two parts weren't setting up for that.
Terrible scriptwriting, bad directing and cheap effects. MGM and Kimberly Peirce should be ashamed of theirselves.
The drama was necessary so people would care about Carrie.
And even that failed because the actress that portrayed her played her was so terrible. Just the way she walks, her facial expressions, it had no depth at all. All she is, is a poor girl. Why isn't she acting different towards her mother than the schoolgirls? The lack of depth made me hate her character and actually made me almost root for the bad guys.
