Now, the famed author is naming who he thinks should play the lead, Carrie (originally played by Sissy Spacek), and it's Lindsay Lohan!

King actually said he liked the original so much that he doesn't even think there should be a re-make. But, he says the only thing that would attract him to the idea is Lindsay in the role! He told Entertainment Weekly:

    “I’ve heard rumblings about a Carrie remake ... The real question is why, when the original was so good? ... Although Lindsay Lohan as Carrie … hmmm. It would certainly be fun to cast.”


In the film, high school outcast Carrie deals with a mentally unstable mother and develops telekinetic powers. At prom, she uses her powers to get revenge on the peers who teased her.

Lindsay has been trying to get her movie career going again; she landed a small role in Gotti: Three Generations.

What do you think -- could Lindsay play the part?
