I have zero interest in seeing Moretz do Carrie. Had Kathy Bates been cast in the Piper Laurie role, that would have made me curious to see it. Bates is one of the few really skilled actresses working today (though we seem to see her very seldom--wonder if she's on television now?).
Had the movie been made in Europe, there would have been no fuss about a seventeen year old being nude. But we live in this delightfully neurotic country where dreadful physical mutilations occur routinely onscreen in loving slo-mo and extreme close-up, but we're still treating the unclothed human body as "dirty." SIGH.
OK, time for me to take a break... I'm sure the movie will be a huge success for Moretz. At this point there seems to be no stopping her.
