Exactly! Why the hell would anyone use a very attractive actress for a Carrie remake? The plot and narrative cluelessness of Hollywood execs never cease to amaze me. The casting of Sissy Spacek was genius, and at the same time common logic. I'm saying Sissy is ugly, or that attractive people can't be socially awkward, nor that Chloe Grace Moretz couldn't play the role well... I'm just saying choosing a stunning beauty like Moretz contradicts the original story, one of it's core strengths, immediately handicapping the film.
