Chloe Grace Moretz as Carrie White in the new adaptation, directed by Kimberly Pierce (courtesy of Parade.com)
Everyone remembers Carrie White (whether they'd like to or not), the role originated by Academy Award Winner Sissy Spacek in the film adaptation of Steven King's famous novel. Carrie was considered a landmark horror film when it debuted in the 1970s, and has since been reffered to as one of the best films ever made. It made Sissy Spacek a household name, launching her career. In addition, the film was a box office success, and was recognized in major categories at the Oscars (recognizably in Best Actress and Best Supporting Actress) which was very unusual because the horror genre is usually ignored when it comes to major awards. To say this new adaptation starring up and coming starlet Chloe Grace Moretz and Academy Award Nominee Julianne Moore had big shoes to fill, is an understatement.
