@izzygraze: It's all risky, though. The Carrie remake was based on the strength of Chloe Moretz's performance in Let Me In, the remade Swedish movie Let The Right One In adapted from the Swedish novel of the same name. Let Me In suffered critically from being a Hollywood remake of a foreign film, and movie critics have a special place in hell for those. It didn't do very well at the box office, either. But almost everyone agreed Moretz was had become a young actress to watch, especially in dark roles. Her celebrity had only grown in the interim, but Carrie remade still tanked even pushed back from a spring to Halloween-window release.
