Synopsis

The 2013 remake of *Carrie*, directed by Kimberly Peirce, is based on the bestselling 1974 novel of the same name by Stephen King. The film stars Chloë Grace Moretz in the title role, alongside Julianne Moore and Ansel Elgort. This version reimagines the story of a high school girl with latent telekinetic powers who seeks revenge against her classmates after being humiliated at her prom. The remake was produced by Seth Abrutyn and James Wan, with a screenplay by Lawrence D. Cohen, who also wrote the screenplay for the original 1976 film adaptation. The production aimed to modernize the story while retaining the core themes of bullying, adolescence, and supernatural retribution.

How many hands made this film

The scale of the collaboration

Principal cast & crew: 13

These are the principals we have on file — the full crew ran to the hundreds. Every film this size was made by far more hands than any credits list ever names.

Why a floor?

This is a minimum, not a total. We only count the credits we’ve captured so far, and coverage is uneven — a blockbuster might show a few hundred names while another of the same size shows a couple dozen. The real crews all ran into the thousands. The number here only grows as full credits are enriched — so we frame it as a floor, never a headcount.
