Following a successful partnership on Fargo, FX and MGM Television are developing a limited series based on Stephen King‘s classic horror novel Carrie, Collider has exclusively learned.

Though it’s still very early in the development process and there’s no script yet, sources say that this time around, telekinetic teen Carrie White will likely be played by either a trans performer or an actress of color rather than a cis white woman, as in past adaptations. FX declined to comment, while a representative for MGM TV did not immediately respond to a request for comment.

The world has gone mad.

And lazy.

Ewwwu, yuck, no thanks. Scary enough without being a tranny!

[bigbob]

Yep, will not watch it then. Sick of queers.

[mewzilla]

SSDD.

Does ANYone ANYwhere EVER do ANYthing just plain old normal any more?

Does EVERYthing have to have some oddball kinky spin?

It’s stupid, and the vast majority of normal folks notice and wonder why it’s always some krazy-a$$ self-conscious and heavy-handed awkward weirdness.

[OldSmaj]

No, Thanks.

I want nothing to do with anything involving Stephen King.

The idiot is a rabid liberal moonbat.

But of course she/he/it will.

If you read the book, or see the original movie, you realize that King have MASSIVE crazed issues with Christianity.

Just like the "Christmas Carol" I saw a few days ago, where Bob Cratchett's wife was black, an OH-So-Woke thing in Victorian England...

Not if it involves Hollyweird.

Does EVERYthing have to have some oddball kinky spin?
Yes.

It's the children of the normal folks they're after.

[Pilgrim's Progress]

Now there a show that hasn’t been overdone . . . NOT!

‘The idiot is a rabid liberal moonbat.’

that idiot is also a tremendous writer who has amassed a great deal of money by sheer dint of effort and will, in the face of a number of setbacks...we should all be such idiots...

But it’s a perfect role for Greta the Nazi.

Talent and money won’t mean much on Judgment Day.

Fargo was great!

Zing~!~

After seeing what they did to A Christmas Carol I can’t imagine what they will do to something by King.

I don’t think FX has had any decent TV series since “The Americans,” which was excellent. I believe they belong to Disney now. I think Disney acquiring Fox movie and TV rights is probably a good thing, if for no other reason than to get some cool muties in the MCU.

Carrie, eh, I don’t know. I didn’t care for the movie with Spacek, but I’ll try to keep an open mind.

[Grampa Dave]

It’s a perfect role for Greta the Nazi.
