Chloe appeared on the Kick-Ass panel at this year’s WonderCon in San Francisco yesterday. Check out some pics from the event in the gallery.
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.
Check out scans in the gallery, along with a new (500) Days of Summer still.
A Kick-Ass clip that debuted of Comic-Con, featuring Big Daddy (Nic Cage) teaching Mindy how to take a bullet, has finally been released on the internet in high quality. You can watch it here. Character posters for Big Daddy (Nicolas Cage) and Red Mist (Christopher Mintz-Plasse) have already been released – hopefully Hit Girl’s will surface soon!
Chloe was also labeled “Best Actress” by blogger Mr. Beaks at Ain’t It Cool News, for his “Butt-Numb-a-Thon XI” which consisted of 12 feature films. Films reviewed included The Lovely Bones, Avatar, Shutter Island, and of course, Kick-Ass, which he labeled “Best New Movie.” Here’s what he had to say about Chloe:
Our once and, hopefully, future Hit Girl. Watching a pint-size eleven-year-old murderize a whole roomful of knife- and gun-wielding thugs is quite something, but the gleeful, little-girl smiles she shoots at Aaron Johnson’s Kick-Ass elevate the character from gimmick to iconic. She is so much more than just a Powerpuff Girl brought to life – and that’s why you can expect Comic Con ’10 to be overrun with thousands of purple-haired, black-masked tributes. She will deliver us from Bella Swan.
And Moretz is no precocious Dakota Fanning-esque child star: she’s got the natural charm and self-posession of a young Jodie Foster. Now to navigate that minefield…
