Our “10 in ’10” series is continuing to roll out all week long, and one of our latest installments features “(500) Days of Summer” star Chloe Moretz – a 12-year-old girl with three films coming out this year, including the eagerly-anticipated remake of the vampire flick “Let the Right One In,” entitled “Let Me In.”
“It’s about a boy who lives in Los Alamos, New Mexico. Growing up, not many people like him, he’s not popular. He’s wimpy, kind of an outcast,” she said of the role played by Kodi Smit-McPhee (“The Road“) in the flick, which is due in theaters October 1st. “Then this girl moves in, she’s totally different… she’s a beast, [being a vampire] is a demon inside of her and she can’t stop it from coming out… when I turn into a vampire, it’s terrifying.”

Chloe is listed in Entertainment Weekly’s “New Stars for the New Year” in their January 8th issue. Here’s what they have to say about her:
Horror fans will remember Chloe Moretz from 2005′s Amityville Horror remake, but she also has indie cred from her turn as the knowing little sis in (500) Days of Summer. Come April, she’ll costar in the film adaptation of Diary of a Wimpy Kid, but it’s really her role as foulmouthed mini-assassin Hit-Girl in the superhero flick Kick-Ass (also out in April) that has tongues wagging. Just a clip sent crowds at Comic-Con into a frenzy last year: ”I have this video on my phone from when I was walking on stage, and the crowd goes ‘Ahhhh!’ It’s the best video ever,” the 12-year-old laughs.

Chloë and Let Me In co-star Kodi Smit-McPhee are featured in a photoshoot by Hellin Kay in the Dec/Jan 2010 issue of Black Book magazine. You can check out a scan in the gallery.
Chloë was also named one of the “Top 10 actors to watch in 2010″ by ScreenCrave. Here’s what they had to say about her:
Chloe Moretz is still a tween, but has worked opposite some of the biggest stars in the business. Most audiences saw her in this year’s unromantic comedy 500 Days of Summer as Joseph Gordon-Levitt’s wise beyond her year’s sister, but 2010 has even more in store for the young actress. She’ll star as a gun toting assassin in the comic adaptation Kick-Ass, where she’ll play Hit Girl, the deadly young daughter of Nicolas Cage’s Big Daddy. She also landed the female lead in the English language remake of the vampire flick Let Me In, opposite The Road star Kodi Smit-Mcphee. Talk about being a bad-ass before you can even drive.
