#FILMING: “LOVE, ROSIE”, “CARRIE” RE-SHOOTS, AMONG OTHER TITLES IN TORONTO

Finally, some life is breathed into Toronto’s Film Industry with a few exciting updates!  Sam Claflin, whose star quickly is on the rise starring in upcoming The Hunger Games: Catching Fire, arrives in Toronto for a few days of shooting next month for Romantic-Comedy, Love, Rosie, based on the Novel by Ceceila Ahern.  The Film centers around Best Friends Rosie and Alex who are separated after the latter’s Family relocates to America.  Lily Collins, who has been in Toronto much of late for The Mortal Instruments: City of Bones and recent Re-shoots, also stars.  Love, Rosie sees a 2014 release.

Pompeii from Paul W.S. Anderson (The Three Musketeers, Resident Evil: Retribution)  just began Production and will continue to film till July in the City.  Several Game of Thrones Fans around Toronto have had to do a double-take after spotting Kit Harington.  The Actor has been sporting lighter-coloured locks for the Film and confirmed to some Fans recently that he has met the entire Cast which includes Jared Harris (Mad Men), Kiefer Sutherland (24) and Emily Browning (Sucker Punch) already, who are scattered in separate parts of the City.  Paz Vega (Spanglish) was recently added to the Cast along with Carrie-Anne Moss (The Matrix).

Those of you who like me are looking forward to Sony Pictures’ Carrie Remake will be excited to know that some of the Cast will be back in Toronto early May for a couple days to do Re-shoots for the Horror.  In the meantime, several of the Cast Members have gone-on to do some great things.  For one, Julianne Moore of course was just cast in David Cronenberg‘s Map to the Stars, set to film in L.A. reuniting that Director with Robert Pattinson. Gabriella Wilde filmed Squatters with Thomas Dekker (just in Toronto this week).  Ansel Elgort who calls Carrie his first Movie ever, was cast in what sure is to be a Hit in Divergent alongside Shailene Woodley.  Of course, its Star, Chloë Moretz filmed Kick-Ass 2 here in Toronto last Fall right after Carrie.

The Big Bang Theory Star Kunal Nayyar also just arrived in the City to film Dr. Cabbie’s Meter’s Running starring Vinay Virmani (Breakaway) and Adrianne Palicki (G.I. JOE).  The Cast have been in and around the City and last week were spotted in-and-around Bay x Wellesley filming and are expected here till late May.

In another bit of casting news, British Actor Max Beesley (Glitter, Hotel Babylon) has just been cast in USA Network‘s Hit Legal Series Suits and is expected to arrive in the City shortly to begin filming.  Filming continues throughout the Summer into October.

#FIRSTLOOK: “CARRIE” REMAKE TRAILER STARRING CHLOE MORETZ

So basically I need to see this. Right now. The first full Trailer for the Carrie Remake, by Director Kimberly Peirce has surfaced and it is everything we could hope for. The fact that it was filmed in Toronto holds a dear place to me and it was amazing seeing the Cast out and about in my neighbourhood last Summer while filming. Chloë Moretz truly delivers her A-Game here and the ending looks terrifying.

Watch the Trailer below:

#FIRSTLOOK: NEW STILL FROM “CARRIE” STARRING CHLOË GRACE MORETZ

Finally! Our hearts were broken when we heard the Toronto-filmed Carrie Remake was getting pushed to a Fall release, but alas we recognize the benefit of releasing around Halloween in terms of marketability and demand. This brand new Still, release exclusively to Empire Magazine, of a bloody Chloë Moretz is not only getting us real excited, but also giving us serious Flashbacks of Sissy Spacek in her epic 1976 performance – not that a lot of us were around then yet.

For those who haven’t seen or read Stephen King‘s Carrie, it centers around a socially awkward and sheltered Teen Girl who discovers she has Telekinetic Powers.  With her Peers plotting to humiliate her at the forthcoming Prom, they just might find out the price of going a bit too far with the Prank.

See the brand new Still below:

For now, we will have to snack on this Teaser, but it shouldn’t be long before we get the official Trailer.

#FIRSTLOOK: NEW “CARRIE” POSTER UNVEILED | WATCH WEBSTREAM & TEASER TRAILER

Carrie Stars Julianne Moore and Chloe Moretz made an appearance on the Red Carpet at Javitz Center earlier today as part of New York Comic Con Festivities.  The R-rated Remake directed by Kimberly Peirce (Boys Don’t Cry) just wrapped in Toronto last month looks well on-target for its March 2013 release with a Teaser Trailer set to be unveiled Monday night on Yahoo! Movies. At once, the above Teaser Poster was unveiled – bloody horrifying.

A Panel took place earlier with Julianne Moore, Chloë Moretz and Peirce, where Fans could watch live via Webstream. On having to be covered in blood for much of the Shoot, Moretz was a great sport about it saying, “I just got used to coming home every day covered in blood and the people at the Front Desk must’ve been, ‘Wow!  She must’ve had a really hard day at work!'”.

Moore also has a bit of fun explaining her psychotic Margaret White explaining, “Her only Family and Community is this Child, Carrie. So for her it’s about keeping that as intact as possible, so the moment Carrie moves away from her, she senses real danger and wants to parent her.”.

Watch the Webstream here:

In the meantime, stay updated with the official Facebook Page for Carrie here.
