FIRST LOOK: "CARRIE (2013)"

Stills from Carrie (2013)

Scarrie! Entertainment Weekly got the exclusive First Look of Kimberly Peirce's Carrie, which wraps production in Toronto shortly. Although I'm sure several of you are nay-saying that they've touched a Classic, this sure is looking v. promising. On a Frozen Yogurt run this weekend, I ran into one of the Cast Members who showed me candid snaps on their iPhone from the iconic Prom Scene. Frightful!  Bloody!

Julianne Moore tells Entertainment Weekly: "This Woman has clearly had a psychotic break, perhaps several. But what’s sad about it for me is that she’s clearly sick and here’s this poor Child in the thrall of this person who is seriously ill. And on top of that, they have this Mother-Daughter relationship. So we want to make that relationship as meaningful as possible, even though it is horrible and destructive.”.

ANSEL ELGORT IN TORONTO FOR "CARRIE" REMAKE

Mr. Will-W. & Ansel Elgort

Even though he might not look so familiar now, Theatre Actor Ansel Elgort is well on his way to something big.  The Off-Broadway Star who not long ago graduated High School, now is in Toronto filming Kimberly Peirce's Carrie Remake opposite Chloë Moretz. Not bad for his Film Debut, right?

Just returning back to Toronto after a quick trip to Norway, Elgort was spotted out and about getting Breakfast earlier today and when approached by Fans, he appeared shocked.  "Me? I'm a nobody!", he says humbly.  We all know however, that soon he'll be a "somebody".  Word is quite a few female Background Actors in the Film were mesmerized by his "flawless looks" and "towering height".

Elgort plays the role of Tommy Ross (originated by William Katt in Brian De Palma's 1976 version), taking Carrie to the same Prom where she winds-up being humiliated, ending with her Classmates suffering a horrific Fate.

The Actor reveals an interesting bit of Trivia to me today, telling me that Lady Gaga appeared alongside him at the 2011 Council of Fashion Designers of America Awards. He tells me he was asked to Tap Dance at the Event with none other than Vogue Magazine's Grace Coddington! The Actor happens to be the Son of famed Photographer Arthur Elgort.

"CARRIE" STAR GABRIELLA WILDE SPOTTED IN TORONTO

Gabriella Wilde in Toronto - July 2012

Although there have been sightings of Carrie Cast Members around the City these past couple weeks - including Carrie herself Chloë Moretz at a Subway, Julianne Moore at Fresh and Judy Greer at Scotiabank Theatre watching People Like Us - I finally had my own first sighting today at last!  And here I was, doubting my own Telepathic Powers! 

Those of you who saw 2011's The Three Musketeers will remember Breakout Star Gabriella Wilde, the beautiful 23-year-old Actress/Model who lit-up the Screen as Constance Bonacieux. While walking my Dog Billy, appearing right before me was Ms. Wilde of Winchester and if she only looks vaguely familiar now, know that she stars in the Stephen King Novel Adaptation/1976 Horror Remake as Sue Snell.  

Those of you who have either read the Book or seen the Original Movie will remember that Snell plays an integral part of the Story. After bullying Carrie, she makes amends by convincing Tommy Ross (to be played by Ansel Elgort) to take Carrie to the Prom.  By the end of it all, she is the lone Survivor out of all the Atrocities that en"sue".

Wilde who looked absolutely stunning - her blonde locks blowing in the humid breeze - graciously agreed to take a Snap before heading off to get some Lunch, after what appeared to be an early Wrap.  Carrie is said to be filming right now between two separate High Schools in the City.

Kimberley Peirce's (Boys Don't Cry) Take on Carrie promises to be truer to King's Novel, reveals Moretz to Vanity Fair in last month's Issue.  She says, "It's a more Black Swan version - it messes with your mind. You'll see things, and you don't know if you've seen them.".  She had me at Black Swan.  And to think months ago I rolled my eyes upon hearing news of Carrie being re-made...
