Movie Facts
This was the first Stephen King novel adapted into a movie.
Sissy Spacek wasn't considered for the role of Carrie until her husband, Jack Fisk, convinced director Brian de Palma to allow her to audition. Her audition so pleased De Palma that she got the lead role.
The dream sequence in the movie's finale was filmed backwards. Sue (Amy Irving) walked backwards down the sidewalk. When projected forward, it has a very eerie dreamlike appearance.
George Lucas and 'DePalma, Brian' held a joint audition for Carrie and Star Wars. Originally, Sissy Spacek was cast as Princess Leia, and Carrie Fisher as Carrie. However, Carrie Fisher refused to appear in nude scenes, but Spacek was willing to do them. So, they switched parts.
