Carrie (2013) - Newspaper Ad

San Francisco Examiner - October 9, 2013

When I first saw the teaser for this version of Carrie, my hopes spiked that it would contain the section of the book deleted from the 1976 (and subsequent) version(s) due to budgetary limitations.

In the book, after Carrie White sets the gymnasium aflame and kills everybody at that the prom, she walks home and destroys everything and everyone in her path.

Yet, it was not to be. They just did the same thing again, it seems.

At least I can imagine a film adaptation of the maligned musical wherein Carrie walks home singing a song titled "You Know My Name" or something similar, while setting off a torrent of orgiastic destruction and retribution.
