A Carrie remake – so why care? Mainly because this one is being helmed by Kimberly Peirce, the director of Boys Don’t Cry. So what does this mean?
- We can expect a more interesting approach to the representation of women in this version. Probably one that doesn’t rest entirely on a concept of female hysteria.
- Another woman is stepping up to the directorial plate to make a commercially viable genre picture. Groovy.
- Sometimes, ‘I before E except after C’ doesn’t apply.
