Chloë Grace Moretz

Matt Reeves talks about Chloe

In an interview with MTV, Let Me In director Matt Reeves dishes the film, and compliments Chloe and her co-star, Kodi Smit-McPhee.

MTV: And in your young stars, Kodi Smit-McPhee from “The Road” and Chloe Moretz, who’s going to be in “Kick-Ass,” you seem to have found two young actors who can bring a lot to the set.
Reeves: The idea that we have these two kids is kind of a dream. My God, those are very challenging roles! [...]

MTV: And Chloe, too, is getting all this buzz.
Reeves: Chloe is just remarkable. The thing that we always talk about is trying to find the way to not have her … she is a vampire in the story, so what does that mean? How do you play a vampire? The idea is to have her not play a vampire at all but have her play the reality of her life and the difficulty of her life, and that’s the way these two lonely souls connect. The two of them are just a joy to work with. She was one of the many people who came in, and I was like, “Oh, my gosh, she’s amazing.” All that “Kick-Ass” stuff happened after that, and so, in retrospect, I’m going, “How did it happen that we got these two kids that now everyone is now so incredibly excited about?” It truly is because their talent speaks so loudly that when they came in the room it was like, “Oh, these are the two kids.”
