Two key roles in the upcoming "Carrie" remake have been cast, with actresses Portia Doubleday and Judy Greer joining the production.
The cast already includes Chloe Moretz ("Hugo") in the title role, Julianne Moore ("Children of Men") as her mother and Gabriella Wilde ("The Three Musketeers") as mean girl Sue Snell.
Based on Stephen King's debut 1974 novel, the film tells the story of shy high school girl Carrie, who uses her newly discovered telekinetic powers to get revenges upon her classmates.
According to Deadline, Doubleday ("Youth in Revolt") will play the main antagonist, Chris Hargensen, and Greer ("The Descendants") will portray gym teacher Miss Desjardin.
Kimberly Peirce ("Boys Don't Cry") is directly the remake based on a screenplay from comic book writer Roberto Aguirre-Sacasa, who adapted King's "The Stand" into a graphic novel.
The original 1976 film, which was directed by Brian De Palma, starred Sissy Spacek in the title role.
It is expected that Aguirre-Sacasa's script will stay more faithful to King's book than the first film.
