Speaking to E!<\/a>,\u00a0Judy Greer, who is playing\u00a0Miss Desjardin, the teacher who begins to come to the troubled student’s defence when she’s being taunted by other girls, in\u00a0Kimberly Peirce’s forthcoming remake<\/a> of Brian De Palma’s Stephen King<\/a> adaptation Carrie<\/em>, the iconic prom vegenace scene is “amazeballs”.<\/p>\n

Briefly ignoring the distress of hearing someone over the age of 17 say “amazeballs” \u2013 probably the most unsettling thing about this new version of Carrie so far \u2013 Greer added, “Weirdly, it’s kind of beautiful. It’s really totally jarring and creepy, but also in a strange way gorgeous.”<\/p>\n

People may be smarting over the idea of another Carrie<\/em> film \u2013 who on earth thinks they can better De Palma? \u2013 but horror fans have to admit that Let Me In<\/em>, Dark Shadows<\/em><\/a> and Kick-Ass<\/em><\/a>‘ Moretz is the perfect choice.<\/p>\n

“Chlo\u00eb’s performance \u2013 and this is literal \u2013 has brought me to tears on set,” Greer enthuses. “She’s made me cry because I find her performance to be incredibly moving. I’m feeling a lot of compassion for her.”<\/p>\n
