Stephen King's "Mercy" update

Another of the Horror masters, piece of incredible work is being adapted for the big screen. This time it's the turn of "Mercy.

"Based on a short story by Stephen King, Mercy tells the tale of two young boys (The Walking Dead’s Chandler Riggs and Super 8’s Joel Courtney) who move with their mother to take care of their dying grandmother at her decrepit farmhouse. When they suspect that the elderly woman they love has encountered a dark spirit, they fear she might not be the only one who won’t make it through the summer alive. Once George (Riggs) and Buddy McCoy (Courtney) arrive at their Gramma Mercy’s (Shirley Knight), what they find inside her 150-year-old home is nothing short of terrifying. As the brothers experience deeply disturbing phenomena they believe to be the work of an ancient witch, they must fight for their lives and overcome the evil forces threatening their family.

Directed by Peter Cornwell (The Haunting in Connecticut), Mercy is produced by Jason Blum of Blumhouse (Paranormal Activity, Insidious, Sinister), McG (Terminator Salvation, Charlie’s Angels) and Mary Viola (Brooklyn’s Finest, We Are Marshall) of Wonderland Sound and Vision."

Chloe Moretz as "Carrie"

A new picture of Chloe Moretz as "Carrie" has made its way online, it looks disgusting as Hell! I do love a good Horror/Thriller film, so I really can't wait to see this an Moretz is starting to become a pretty good actress over the past few years I first seen her in "The Amityville Horror" back in 2005 when she was 8 now she is the lead actress in her own Horror film.
Holy crap check out that blood!

Yet again the horror master Stephen King's work is being made into a film, well a remake as "Carrie" was originally released in 1976. Back in March last year it was announced that the film was getting remade, but no news has been released for a while. It seems that film is being continued to be made and MGM/Screen Gems has a director top of their list.
Reports are suggesting that Kimberly Peirce is in talks to be director of the script written by Roberto Aguirre-Sacasa, both are more known for directing an writing drama based programming. Reports are suggesting that the script differs a bit from Brian De-Palma's version, the new script is said to be more true to Stephen King's novel.
