| Quote: | Following a successful partnership on Fargo, FX and MGM Television are developing a limited series based on Stephen King‘s classic horror novel Carrie, Collider has exclusively learned.
Though it’s still very early in the development process and there’s no script yet, sources say that this time around, telekinetic teen Carrie White will likely be played by either a trans performer or an actress of color rather than a cis white woman, as in past adaptations. FX declined to comment, while a representative for MGM TV did not immediately respond to a request for comment.
...
Keep in mind that FX has one of the best track records in all of entertainment, so if they see the appeal of tackling this story again through a modern, more inclusive, still terrifying lens, then I trust them completely. I have no idea who wrote the script or who is producing this version of Carrie, but if John Landgraf says ‘yes,’ he typically has a very good reason. |

I blame the "IT" remake for this. Now every little thing King has written is being (once again) adapted to screen.

So it's either gonna be Carrie Black or a Transformer.

Gender dysphoria is not a sexual preference though.  They are essentially saying that they will be casting only POC or people suffering from a particular disorder.

That's me assuming they would have anything that is not straight and I doubt I'd be wrong in that.
