Flanagan is going to make changes to Carrie in a way that updates it for modern times. The Cast Includes Actors Who Have Given Excellent performances in the past few years, like agudong and midthunder. One Character, Emaraline, is not in the novelso it will be interesting to see what dueti’s role will will be. While the 1976 movie is still a very entertaining watch, and helped put king on the map, it play a perfect time capsule for being was reletased.
