Huh?

Didn't they already remake that once?

How much will Stephen King make off of this?

I liked Sissy Spaceck as Carrie - don't really remember the first remake, not looking forward to a 3rd remake.

The book was better.

I love Moretz and Moore.. So looking forward to this..

Happy Hours: Huh?

I don't think it was a remake, but a half assed sequel.

I like the looks of this one, but sadly I doubt we'll be seeing the goods in the "plug it up" scene.

Huh, I actually had no idea that actually existed. Why in the hell would they go with a made for TV version? Very little of King's work is suitable for made for TV. Way too much ends up being cut.

This MIGHT not be that bad.  Has some good people in it...

To be fair, Salem's Lot was a rare (good) TV adaption of a King novel.  What other TV adaption of a King novel was as good?

Why see the movie now? Everything was in that trailer.

I just naturally assumed everyone would be in this thread to talk about Carrie having her first period in the shower.

It's Carrie, you already knew what was going to happen.

Actually, if they already remade this once, this would only be the second remake...

And why does it matter how much King makes off of this? You think he's the one out there peddling this story? That's not how it works at this stage in the game, someone came to him and asked to make it.

I don't really know if I want to see it either, the trailer didn't look too bad, though. I agree with some of the other posters, they pretty much showed the entire thing there, which is stupid, even if you DO know how the story ends. There's not really a reason to go see it in the theaters now.

Plus there's a whole heap more of actual FX work -- note the floating books. Once we saw the one girl's face fly into the school gym window, we got pretty excited.

What, is io9 hiring 14-year old girls as movie critics now? Wow, floating books? 'Never seen THAT level of "actual FX work" before, if we can just see that one girl's face fly into a window, I may just cream myself...'

/Ooooh! Cream accomplished!

Go watch the original trailer on YouTube. It shows even more of the story.

Just curious - I won't get any of it. I bought some of his books, I paid to see some of the movies based on his books. He's a douchebag though. It's my right to ask. He doesn't have to tell me though.

I BET YOU GOT REALLY HAIRY BALLS!

Confabulat: I also think it's funny that Stephen King's name is being played up again in movie and TV trailers after sort of disappearing for awhile. Ka is a wheel.

Why? He doesn't need the money, so he isn't going around to studios begging. As for his name being in the trailer, it's one of his most famous books AND one of his most famous movies, you didn't think they were going to trot his name out at every opportunity? They're making money off of throwing his name out there, and they're going to flog that horse for as long as they can.

As for "disappearing for awhile", he's still putting shiat out regularly, 2 novels and a play out this year, plus a nonfiction book, 3 e-books and a novel last year, 2 novels, an e-book and a comic in 2011, the list goes on.

Ok, please explain the "douchebag" thing. I've heard people write off his stuff seemingly for no other reason than the fact that he's incredibly prolific. Not all of his stuff is an out of the park homer, and he sometimes farks up his endings. Also, some people don't like the deep back stories he gives his characters and the tangents he goes off on(personally it's what I like best about his stuff).

That said, I have NEVER heard even his harshest critic call him a douchebag, and it seems like everything I've heard about him paints him as a rather nice guy.

Anyway, I'm just curious if there's something I hadn't heard of regarding him being a douchebag, something you've heard, or some interaction you had with him. It just goes against anything I've heard...

Moretz is not right for this role. She is not homely enough. This goes against everything that Carrie is about.


What a waste.

Oh I know, I'm pretty caught up on my Stephen King. But back in the 80s and early 90s, his name was used in trailers all the time to sell movies. Hell he even sued The Lawnmower Man to get his name taken off of it. But you really haven't seen that for a long time. Now between this and CBS's Under the Dome King is everywhere again.

I'd sue to take my name off of Lawnmower Man, too. I was excited when I heard about it, thought they were going to do the actual story, which is a nice mind-fark. Instead, they bought the rights to the name, put in a self operating mower and then gutted the story. That movie blows goats.

I seriously think this is the studio doing everything they can to tie his name in, just a marketing tactic...

Under the Dome will probably suck, IMHO. King movies are hard, despite what people think, there's not a lot you can cut out and still keep the heart of the story, but the moment you put it on TV, you have to cut out everything that actually makes it a King story. A cable network, not bound by FCC regs, would be a good choice. I like the idea they originally had for The Dark Tower, a movie, a season of TV episodes on HBO or Showtime, another movie, and one more season. That would have been a great way to try it. Too bad it fell through.

Pennywise was the only good thing in It.  The rest of was just meh.

Holy balls, reading 'IT' and watching 'IT'. One is a cornball TV adaptation that has a really cheezy ending. The other is a book that will remove your skin and leave you a bloody mess curled up in the corner.

Wasn't that the version King preferred?  I thought he said it was closer to the book than the original?  And besides, how can you go wrong with Rebecca De Mornay?

Sargun: kellyscomments: Why see the movie now? Everything was in that trailer.

It's Carrie, you already knew what was going to happen.

Exactly. The trailer doesn't need to hide any plot points, it needs to convince you that the remake has a reason for being. Showing flashes of the most famous scenes - the scenes that you know are going to be there whether you see the trailer or not - give the trailer editors a way to say "yeah, it's going to be different."

Now, we could argue about  how different it may or may not be. But to complain about the trailer for the remake of a well-known giving away too much is like complaining that the "Titanic" trailer showed the ship sinking.
