Poor
Carrie White had a rough go in Brian DePalma’s 1976 classic film and the
Stephen King novel it was based on: Her mom was a religious whack-job, her
school was full of hormone-addled monsters, her teachers were ineffective to
say the least. It was bad times. Then prom happened and poop really hit the
fans.
Despite
enduring all of that, plus an awful sequel in 1999 and a just-OK made-for-TV remake
in 2002, Carrie has never faced anything quite like this.
Lindsay
Lohan is being considered to star in an upcoming big screen remake. You heard
me. Lindsay Lohan. Shudder.
Despite
not being age appropriate for a high-schooler in any way, shape or form, there’s also the fact that
she is a useless actress.
The
rumor was started by none other than King himself, who told EW: “I’ve heard
rumblings about a Carrie remake… Lindsay Lohan as Carrie White, hmmm. It would
certainly be fun to cast.”
Please,
no. Just watch “I Know Who Killed Me.” That’ll set everyone straight.
Also
circling the project? The vastly more talented and age-appropriate Hailee
Steinfeld of “True Grit” fame.
According
to Deadline.com, Kimberly Peirce (“Boys Don't Cry”) is being considered to direct
the new version, with a script already written by Roberto Aguirre-Sacasa.
This
whole thing sounds like a disaster.
