•Northern Secondary is film location for horror epic Carrie
by
•Kids returning to Northern Secondary School this fall will have stories to tell, but few will be as interesting as that of the school itself. Since June, the venerable old high school has been the scene of filming for the re-make of the 1976 horror movie Carrie. Sissy Spacek played the first blood-soaked Carrie, a shy girl who gets back at her bullying classmates by, well, supernaturally whacking them until she is covered in blood. That shot of Carrie dripping red is the trademark picture of the Carrie film. This time it’s Chloe Moretz who plays Carrie. The Gothic and slightly sinister Northern (built 1930) was a good location for this creepy tale. Shooting was still going on a few days ago although it may be over by now since there is that back-to-school thing. On an interesting note, 14 student-athletes from St. Michael’s College School were cast as extras. They are members of the Varsity Lacrosse team, cast specifically for high school lacrosse practice/game scenes that are in the script. Student Joe French was hired as a consultant to work with the lead actors on sport-specific technique and authenticity. The cast members of the re-make are Julianne Moore (Magnolia, Children of Men), Chloe Moretz (Hugo, Dark Shadows), and Alex Russell (Chronicle).
