Carrie is a 2013 American supernatural horror film. It is the third film adaptation of Stephen
King’s 1974 novel of the same name, though MGM and Screen Gems, who are
producing the film, employed a script that is reportedly more faithful
to King’s original novel. The film stars Chloë Grace Moretz as the
titular Carrie White, and Julianne Moore as Carrie’s mother, Margaret
White. Following the initial announcement of March 15, 2013 as the
release date, the film’s public launch was later postponed to October
18, 2013.
