Chloe Moretz steps into her possibly most iconic role as the disturbed title character of "Carrie," a remake of the classic 1976 horror flick.

Entertainment Weekly released the first look with two images from the film, which includes one of Moretz reenacting the famous prom scene where Carrie is soaked head to toe in blood.  

"We only have, like, four chances to get it right," Moretz told EW about shooting the bloody scene. "Because that stuff stains your hair."

The second released photo is of Carrie's mother, played by Julianne Moore, wearing a crucifix necklace and white night gown wielding a knife. "This woman has clearly had a psychotic break, perhaps several," Moore said of her character. "But what's sad about it for me is that she's clearly sick and here's this poor child in the thrall of this person who is seriously ill. And on top of that, they have this mother-daughter relationship. So we want to make that relationship as meaningful as possible, even though it is horrible and destructive."

Kimberly Pierce remakes the classic film originally adapted from the Stephen King Novel by Brian De Palma.  Pierce puts her own twist to this film by using inspiration from her award winning film "Boys Don't Cry," a film about a transgendered teenage girl who is brutally bullied by her peers.

"De Palma's movie is absolutely amazing. Kim is actually really good friends with De Palma, and they're talking about the movie and they're good friends, so we're taking a lot of his notes," Moretz said. "But what we're actually doing is we're taking the book and we're breaking the book down and we're putting a lot of elements of the book into our story, so it's more of like a 'Black Swan' version of it. So you really see the mythology of the character and you really see everything going on with Carrie. It's darker."

The original Carrie, Sissy Spacek, was in her 20s when she starred in the horror film; Moretz is only 15 years old. But Moretz is no stranger to starring in more mature films. As a child she played a foul-mouthed fighter in "Kick-Ass" and she was creepy vampire in "Let Me In."
