Matthew Lillard says Mike Flanagan’s upcoming Carrie TV present just isn’t solely book-accurate, however greater than definitely worth the wait.
“Carrie’s good. Mike Flanagan – who I labored with on Lifetime of Chuck – he’s simply the one best power of nature on this business,” Lillard tells GamesRadar+. “We rehearsed for 3 weeks. He had plotted out each shot in the whole movie. He had it all the way down to the minute when it comes to he period of time it will take to shoot. He developed an app so you would see the place they had been in taking pictures. I imply, he is so prolific and profound and such an excellent storyteller. In order that’s the very first thing.”
The character was first originated by the late Stefan Gierasch, and meets a grisly finish within the 1976 movie. His ending is a little more akin to the novel within the 2002 remake (which has a severely underrated screenplay penned by Bryan Fuller), although it appears Flanagan’s Carrie (like his prior King diversifications) will observe the 1974 novel to a T. Relatively than pack the 304-page guide into a movie, the story is advised over the course of eight episodes in a miniseries format – and is a part of Flanagan’s new cope with Prime Video.
“The second factor is the forged is unimaginable. It is three totally different form of sections. It is the story Carrie written by Stephen King. It is actually a pure adaptation of the guide [more] than the unique film was,” Lillard explains. “The De Palma movie is de facto about form of one side, however there’s so much that occurs within the guide that is been launched to the present. After which there’s three totally different tiers – the academics and the dad and mom, and the scholars. The academics and the dad and mom are form of the varsity stage of actors, you understand, outdated. It is only a means of calling the outdated actors. After which the youngsters…the youngsters are freaking good.”
