Yes folks, another horror film classic that doesen't need remaking is being remade.
This one has
Chloe Moretz in the title role...pause...oh, right she was in "
Hugo". She was also in "
Let Me in" and "
The Amityville Horror" (05') so she knows her way around a botched remake as well as somebody twice her age.

Julianna Moore, a veteran of the 1998 version of
Psycho.
http://www.imdb.com/name/nm0000194/If you can't tell, I'm not a fan of remakes unless they're major reworkings of the story. (in which case they're currently known as re-imagining). For example: None of the three "
Mutiny on the Bounty" movies or first three "
Invasion of the Body Snatchers" films fell back on rehashed dialogue or even similar character portrayals. The result: good movies that happen to share the same title.
