Carrie Remake in the Works

Carriehas scared prom-going teens for decades, now 35 years after the originalhit theaters MGM and Screen Gems have decided to bring it back -- an all-new version of the horror film based on the popular Stephen King novel.

Entertainment Weekly had a chance to talk to the writer about the new adaptation and what he thought of a remake.

“I’ve heard rumblings about aCarrieremake, as I have aboutThe StandandIt. Who knows if it will happen? The real question is why, when the original was so good? I mean, notCasablanca, or anything, but a really good horror-suspense film, much better than the book. Piper Laurie really got her teeth into the bad-mom thing. Although Lindsay Lohan as Carrie White… hmmm. It would certainly be fun to cast. I guess I could get behind it if they turned the project over to one of the Davids: Lynch or Cronenberg.”

But it may not just be rumblings -- the studios have hired playwright Roberto Aguirre-Sacasa (Spiderman: Turn Off the Dark) to write the new script. 

This is one remake that could just happen.
