Scream’s Matthew Lillard May Join Mike Flanagan’s Carrie Reboot in Secret Role

The TV adaptation of Flanagan’s “Carrie” will recount the tale of Carrie White, a tormented high school student who finds she possesses telekinetic abilities. However, it isn’t only at school where Carrie endures cruel treatment; her mother, Margaret White, portrayed in the 1976 film by Piper Laurie, inflicts severe abuse on her due to her deeply religious beliefs and domineering personality. The 1974 film, starring Sissy Spacek as Carrie and directed by Brian De Palma, garnered critical acclaim for its exceptional performances and the memorable pig’s blood prom scene, with many hailing it as one of Stephen King’s best adaptations. However, a different “Carrie” remake was produced in 2013, featuring Chloë Grace Moretz in the lead role and Julianne Moore as the mother. Unfortunately, this adaptation fell short of the original film’s success, receiving a mediocre rating of 51% on Rotten Tomatoes.
