Fans of Stephen King's Carrie will have to wait a little longer to see the film's remake: Sony has announced that the release date is being moved from this March 15th to October 18th, 2013. In one respect, this makes sense, to position the film as a Halloween-appropriate thriller. In another, well, let's just say it's rarely a positive move to delay a film's release date without a good explanation as to why.
In this reimagining of the classic horror tale, Carrie White (Chloe Grace Moretz), a shy girl outcast by her peers and sheltered by her deeply religious mother (Julianne Moore), unleashes telekinetic terror on her small town after being pushed too far at her senior prom. Based on the best-selling novel by Stephen King (more details below), Carrie is directed by Kimberly Peirce with a screenplay by Roberto Aguirre-Sacasa.

Carrie
Stephen King
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.
