I always thought that as a narrative, DePalma's film holds together a little better than King's novel, which by it's structure jumps back and forth between the story and after-the-fact interviews and news accounts. It's a good book but the movie is a favorite. In fact it is one of the reasons why I never gave any grief to the quiet or unpopular girls in my high school, and was nice to them instead. That's a shoot. That having been said this trailer looks very good. I'm not big on remakes but this one looks solidly made at least. I like Julianne Moore's "There all going to laugh at you!" -- nice touch. I am not sure where we see Carrie attacking the entire town -- the shots of her and the sports car are of scenes in the DePalma film, where she takes out Nancy Allen (!) and John Travolta (!!).
