Carrie is just trying to make friends in the new trailer at Comic-Con

Mike Flanagan’s latest adaptation of Stephen King, Carrie (which will be the fourth), is set to debut on Amazon Prime on October 7. The new trailer dropped at Comic-Con 2026 and it doesn’t contain many surprises. If you know Carrie at all, it hits all the expected records. Although it has been clearly updated for the modern era.

According to DeadlineFlanagan’s take on King’s classic novel will address current youth issues such as rapid-fire shootings and social media bullying. Apparently the director invited high school students into the writers’ room, using their real-life struggles to inform the script:

“They shared interesting things that happen at the same time or they are constantly supported and abused and things that don’t seem to be what they want to abuse.” (We’ll delve into) the violence that is happening today and how the internet has encouraged, rewarded, celebrated and amplified violence. This is very difficult for adults to deal with, especially young people. “

Adapted by Brian De Palma in 1976 Carrie it’s brilliant and features an incredible performance from Sissy Spacek. But it’s undeniable that Summer H. Howell, who was 21 at the time of the shooting, is more credible as a high school student than Spacek, who was 26 at the time.
