I'm Going Home & I'm Gonna Bite My Dirty Pillows

.

This news story was made to break my brain. That girl who won't leave me alone, Chloe Moretz, is apparently one of two girls in top contention for the remake of Carrie. The remake of Carrie was already making me want to drive a stake through my own heart - now they're just fucking taunting me.

Making it worse, I actually really like the other girl possibly up for the part - her name's Haley Bennett and we've extolled her awesomeness in The Hole and Kaboom. It's worse because I just want to straight up not have this happen at all and if Moretz stars in it then I just straightforwardly hate on it - if an actress I've been rooting for like Bennett gets the part it will be much more complicated.

And it's already complicated, because director Kimberly Pierce should be doing better things with her time. Why can't she just make Boys Don't Cry 2: Yes Boys Do In Fact Cry Sometimes, instead of attempting the impossible? Brian DePalma's Carrie is one of the few perfect things in the world - it stands alongside striped socks and Reese's Peanut Butter Eggs in the pantheon of greatness.

And then there's more: Pierce has apparently approached Jodie Foster and/or Julianne Moore to play Margaret White. WTF! I need to go smoke a pack of cigarettes, and weed, and angel dust.

Gimme All The Medieval Emo Twinks You've Got

Wait, aren't A Game of Thrones' Kit "Jon Snow" Harington and The Chronicles of Narnia's Ben Barnes kind of the same person? How can they both star in the same movie? Won't this cause some kind of rift in space and time and hair-gel? Via BD:

"Production is still to get underway on Warner Bros. Pictures long-gestured The Seventh Son, yet they continue to cast away. With hopes of going behind the camera this April, "Game of Thrones" star Kit Harington is in final negotiations to join the cast of Warners and Legendary Pictures' exorcism flick, says Variety. ... He joins a cast that already includes Jeff Bridges, Ben Barnes, Julianne Moore and Alicia Vikander with Sergey Bodrov helming.

Formerly known as "The Spook's Apprentice," tale is adapted from Joseph Delaney's young adult series about a teen who's the seventh son of a seventh son, and learns about wizardry from a forbidding spook. Harington will play the former apprentice of Bridges' character."

--- Shaken And Stirred - I guess that shot of Daniel Craig's speedo-clad ass-crack wasn't the first "official" still from the new James Bond movie Skyfall, since that's what they're calling this much less exciting shot of Danny looking a little constipated in the face. I mean, I love Danny's constipated face, don't get me wrong, but it's no speedo-clad ass-crack, ya know?

--- Good Woman Plays Bad Woman - I have had about my fill (well past, honestly) of Caribou Barbie in this lifetime, so I haven't watched the trailer for Game Change with the lovely and awesome Julianne Moore playing Sarah Palin. Should I bother? I mean, I'm sure Juli's going to do a great job, but the thought of beautiful Juli dolled up as that moronic hillbilly harridan makes me kind of queasy. 

--- Boo Flew - Have you watched the trailer for 7500, the new horror flick from the director of The Grudge? It appears to be "The Grudge On A Plane." Or Ghosts on a Plane, as I saw it referenced as well. Although that really needs an exclamation point if you ask me. Ghosts on a Plane! Anyway it stars Ryan Kwanten and Leslie Bibb and is a haunted house movie... on a plane. Ryan looks hot but I have my doubts that he's going to find the opportunity to take off his clothes in this, which is disappointing. It's out at the end of August.

--- Down The Water Spout - I can't remember if I've ever gotten around to watching Nash Edgerton's short film Spider - brother to the actor Joel, Nash made the brilliantly tense film The Square - but it's supposed to be awesome and Slash has got it, along with a tease of its sequel called Bear, right here. I've meant to if I haven't, so I will check it out later. This is me reminding myself to do that. Done, and done!

--- Roadies - I loved Nat's little ode to a very fine scene between Carey Mulligan and Ryan Gosling in Drive over at Towleroad yesterday. It's out on DVD now, so we can all watch that scene where [SPOILER] gets [SPOILER] in the [SPOILER] over and over again, hooray!

--- And speaking of Drive, the Mondo poster for it that just got revealed is really hot shit. If I didn't already have a closet filled with movie posters my boyfriend won't let me hang on the wall I'd be all over it.

--- Whither Meyers - A 3rd Halloween film in the rebooted series was scheduled to come out in time for Halloween this year, but seeing as how they haven't even cast anybody yet, let alone filmed a single frame, they thought better of that and now it's been pushed to next year, says STYD. I'm kind of sad that the big three slasher killers are AWOL right now. I need at least one of them in my life! Michael, Freddy, Jason, come back to me!
