Pick out your prom dress and grab some pig blood because Carrie is coming back.
FX is reportedly developing a limited series based on the classic 1974 novel by Stephen King. Collider reports that the project is early in the pre-production process—there’s no script yet—but that the role of Carrie White will “most likely be played by an actress of color or a trans performer.” According to Collider: “FX declined to comment, while a representative for MGM TV did not immediately respond to a request for comment.”
This is far from the first adaptation of King’s novel. The 1976 film version directed by Brian De Palma, and starring Sissy Spacek, Amy Irving, and a young John Travolta, is considered a horror classic. There was also a 1999 sequel, The Rage: Carrie 2, and a 2013 remake starring Chloë Grace Moretz and Julianne Moore.
And we haven’t even talked about Carrie: The Musical yet.
Carrie is just the latest King property to get the remake treatment. It Chapters 1 and 2 made box office bank, Pet Sematary was released earlier this year, and The Stand series is on its way to CBS All Access with an all-star cast including Whoopi Goldberg and Alexander Skarsgard.
If Carrie does move forward with a trans lead should we start our dreaming casting now? Perhaps Euphoria’s Hunter Schafer?
