“Resident Evil” Actress Siena Agudong Cast as Sue Snell in Mike Flanagan’s “Carrie” Adaptation

Hot on the heels of the news that Summer H. Howell is nearing a deal to star in Mike Flanagan‘s “Carrie,” Variety has learned that Siena Agudong (“Resident Evil,” The 4:30 Movie) has been cast as Sue Snell.

The Amazon series is described as “a bold and timely reimagining” of Stephen King’s 1974 novel, with Flanagan serving as writer, director, showrunner, and executive producer.

Misfit high schooler Carrie White has spent her life in seclusion with her domineering mother. After her father’s sudden and untimely death, Carrie finds herself contending with the alien landscape of public high school, a bullying scandal that shatters her community, and the emergence of mysterious telekinetic powers.

Sue is a popular teen who initially joins in bullying Carrie but later tries to befriend her. The role was played by Amy Irving in 1976, Kandyse McClure in 2002, and Gabriella Wilde in 2013.

Filming is expected to begin in Vancouver as early as next month, so expect more casting news in the near future.

Carrie marks Flanagan’s fourth King adaptation, following Gerald’s Game, Doctor Sleep, and the upcoming The Life of Chuck. He’s also developing a series based on The Dark Tower.
