It seems a little sad to me that there is a new generation of young actors and filmmakers who have been essentially forced to rely on remakes for their big breaks, but I suppose if they play their cards right, they can turn these opportunities into something more. Chloe Moretz has done exactly that, having starred in Let Me In, Dark Shadows and now the upcoming remake of Stephen King’s Carrie, but also mixing in movies like Kick-Ass, Hick and Hugo. While Carrie is yet another remake that has been met with criticism for being simply unnecessary, Let Me In is proof that these things can indeed turn out better than expected.

The first trailer for the new Carrie has arrived online this week, and although it is only a teaser, it seems to hint that they are getting a lot more ambitious with the size and the scope of the story. I don’t necessarily think that this will make for a better film, but at least it is a slightly different approach. The movie is directed by Kimberly Peirce (Boys Don’t Cry) and co-stars Julianne Moore and Judy Greer. Carrie hits theatres on March 15th, 2013; check out the trailer after the jump and see what you think.
