Well, I don't know. There isn't much in that trailer to go by. That being said, often I disagree in calling an adaptation of an original work into another film a "remake." It's another adaptation of the original work (in this case, Levin's novel), not a remake of the previous classic cinematic version. It's like Spielberg's adaptation of HG Wells The War of the Worlds. It was an adaptation of the novel, not a remake of the classic 1953 film - although it paid homage to it). The same with Carrie. The first film adaptation came in 1976 with the classic DePalma film. Then came the 2002 version, updated but closer to the novel than the first film (but also paying homage to it, since Larry Cohen who was involved in the first was involved in the second), and then the latest with Chloe Moretz brought into the twenty-teens that was the flattest. Maybe there's a reason why the newest Rosemary's Baby had its locale moved from New York (as in the novel) to Paris (and whatever changes also occur). I guess we'll have to wait and see. This could be a better adaptation of the novel and we need to wait. I consider the 2002 version of Carrie superior to the classic 1976 version (and I know that's heresy).
