It was only a matter of time before everyone's favorite pig-blood-covered teenage outcast was brought back to life. Chloe Moretz, 15, has been chosen to play the title role in the reboot of Stephen King's horror flick, "Carrie." The original 1976 version earned an Oscar nomination for its star Sissy Spacek.

Moretz tweeted Tuesday: "Never been so happy in my life! Thank u MGM for the chance of a lifetime i will never forget!"
