"Carrie" will be a reboot of the horror classic, following the life of a young girl named Carrie White (played by Chloë Grace Moretz). She is shy and outcast by her peers in school. She is also quite sheltered and raised by an extremely religious mother (Julianne Moore). After being pushed too far at her senior prom, Carrie unleashes her wrath using her gift of telekinesis. The film will be released on march 15, 2013.
"Evil Dead" will also be a remake. The original was released in 1981 and is a cult classic. The plot follows five twenty-something friends who are holed up in a remote cabin and come across a Book of the Dead. The group unwittingly summons up demons located in the woods, and each person is subjected to possession until only one is left to fight for their life. The film is scheduled for a April 12, 2013 release.
