MGM's search for a young actress to play the title role in their retelling of Stephen King's Carrie has reportedly been narrowed down to two contenders.

Vulture claims that Hit Girl herself, teen actress Chloe Moretz (Kick-Ass, Let Me In, Hugo), is a leading candidate, as is 24-year-old Haley Bennett (The Haunting of Molly Hartley).

The Descendants' Shailene Woodley reportedly passed on the role this week. Others who have read for Carrie include Dakota Fanning, Emily Browning (Sucker Punch), Bella Heathcote (In Time), and Lily Collins (Mirror Mirror). True Grit's Hailee Steinfeld was also once rumored for the role.

Furthermore, director Kimberly Peirce is said to be eying either Jodie Foster or Julianne Moore as Carrie's mother, played in the original Brian De Palma film by Oscar nominee Piper Laurie.
