contactmusic.com headlines an article about Chloe Grace Moretz that asks the question, "Will ‘Carrie’ be Chloe Grace Moretz’ First Oscar Nominated Role?" This on the heels of the new Carrie trailer that has gotten a lot of positive attention. The site notes that her "stock has been rising" and that Carrie could be the project that moves her out of the realm of "child actor" and into "Oscar contender".
Of course, the idea of Moretz at the Oscar's makes me think of Carrie at the Oscars. How much more fun would it be to see her reign terror on egocentric Hollywood instead of a High School prom. I mean, think about it -- they're kind of the same thing. It's all about who is going with who, what you wear and who will be made king and queen.
About Moretz, the article says,
She’s proved her worth for years now, and, barring the drug, alcohol and over-spending tendencies that come with being a Hollywood actress, she should have a long and glittering career ahead, with people remembering Carrie as the film that ‘made her’
And the official answer is: You got me there (shrugs).

As always with horror films, the odds are probably against it.

This particular one has some prestige behind it, not only in terms of having two very highly respected actresses in the leads, but also coming from the Oscar-nominated pedigree of the original film. Kimberley Peirce's film "Boys Don't Cry" also won a Best Actress Oscar for Hilary Swank, so Peirce has at least that much history.
So, in short, if the movie turns out to be genuinely excellent (here's hoping!), I wouldn't discount it at all.
Who really gives a shit? King is a hack writer who never knows how to end his bullshit novels. Stick a fork into his fucking throat and throw his body into a nearby lake -- and, laugh when all the fish start swimming away from his corpse...
