Kimberly Peirce’s Carrie remake has been given a release date.
The Stephen King adaptation will arrive in cinemas on March 15, 2013, ComingSoon reports.
Kick-Ass star Chloe Moretz will play the lead character in the horror movie, having won the part over Haley Bennett, Dakota Fanning, Emily Browning, Bella Heathcote and Lily Collins.
Brian De Palma previously adapted King’s novel for cinema, with Sissy Spacek in the title role and Piper Laurie as her tyrannical mother. Julianne Moore and Jodie Foster have been linked with the role of the mother in the remake.
Moretz, 15, is known for her mature horror role in Let Me In, and for portraying Isabelle in Martin Scorsese’s Oscar-winning Hugo.
Peirce has vowed to remain faithful to the source material with her take on Carrie.
“The Big Lebowski” co-stars Jeff Bridges and Julianne Moore have begun work on “Seventh Son,” the Hollywood fantasy action film’s producers said.
“The Big Lebowski,” a big-screen comedy by Joel and Ethan Coen, has developed a cult following since its release in 1998.
Its stars have reunited for “Seventh Son,” which began shooting last month in Vancouver, British Columbia, under the direction of Sergei Bodrov, Warner Bros. said.
Bodrov helmed the Oscar-nominated foreign-language films “Mongol: The Rise of Genghis Khan” and “Prisoner of the Mountains.”
Co-starring in “Seventh Son” with Bridges and Moore is Ben Barnes, a cast member of “The Chronicles of Narnia” films.
“In a time long past, an evil is about to be unleashed that will reignite the war between the forces of the supernatural and humankind once more,” a synopsis said. “Master Gregory is a knight who had imprisoned the malevolently powerful witch, Mother Malkin, centuries ago. But now she has escaped and is seeking vengeance.”
Actress Julianne Moore, who portrays former Alaska Governor Sarah Palin in the new HBO film “Game Change,” says that she will vote for President Obama again in 2012.

While Anderson makes a habit of tweeting on a regular basis, Julianne Moore says she is “the worst Twitterer ever,” claiming that her tweets are both “boring and infrequent.”
She also admits to having accidentally tweeted the inside of her purse, which Anderson says he can relate to after “butt-tweeting” numerous times.
“I got all these responses saying, ‘What was that?’ ‘It was so mysterious.’ ‘It was kind of beautiful, but strange,’” Julianne says. “I was like, ‘Oh no!’ I just hit the button and it went off.”
Take a look…
Sure, she’s a knockout, but it was Julianne Moore’s combination of blazing talent and quiet determination that propelled her from TV soaps to cinema stardom. Now she portrays controversial Sarah Palin in the new HBO movie Game Change while living a game change of her own—a happy family life with her younger husband

Julianne Moore is mad for beavers. (You’re all mature. No sniggering, please.) “I always tell my children”—son Caleb is 14, and daughter Liv turns 10 in April—“that my favorite animal is the beaver, because it’s so industrious,” the actress says. Then she adds, laughing, “And when they grow up, they’ll be, ‘Can you believe she said that all the time?’?”
But Moore is serious. “Beavers don’t seem that industrious when you look at them,” she continues, “but they make those dams, little by little.” She doesn’t just admire the toothy rodents; she identifies with them. “I am diligent,” she says. “That’s one of my qualities: diligence. Not very glamorous, but true.”
Her hard work (she has acted in nearly 50 movies, including Boogie Nights, Far from Heaven, The Kids Are All Rightand last summer’s Crazy, Stupid, Love), combined with Streep-like subtlety, has led to four Oscar nominations and a reputation as an actress who fully inhabits her characters. And her stature will only be enhanced by Game Change, the made-for-HBO movie about Sarah Palin’s vice-presidential run, debuting March 10.

The actress tells Jay Leno that upcoming film is more about 2008 campaign than a critique of Palin
While current and former aides to Sarah Palin lashed out last month, calling the upcoming film’s depictions of Palin as “sick” and “inaccurate,” Moore insists “Game Change” is not a slash-and-burn portrayal of Republican politics during the 2008 presidential campaign. The movie, like the 2010 book by Mark Halperin and John Heilemann it’s based on, focuses on the schism between GOP candidate John McCain and his running mate.
