A Different Kind of New Carrie

Carrie Bradshaw isn’t the only one getting a new face: Stephen King’s young and tormented telekinetic of the same first name is also getting a redux of her own.

Chloë Grace Moretz has been tapped to play the title role in the latest adaptation of Carrie that director Kimberly Pierce (Boys Don’t Cry) is prepping.

Lindsay Lohan had at one point been rumored to be in contention for the part, but that was like, two probations ago...and that’s neither here nor there.

What matters is now the pressure is on for Moretz, who pretty much stole the show in Kick-Ass.

Still, though – those are some big, Sissy Spacek-sized shoes she has to fill now. if someone can rise to the challenge, it is definitely this girl. She’s got the chops.
