So we just set up a direct donation channel with Direct Relief International! Here you can donate directly to the cause, and Crochet For Haiti will be able to keep track of how much money we’ve raised!
Here’s a link to our page/where you can donate:

Check out my interview with Chloe today about her new film Kick-Ass, her thoughts on the vampire phenomenon in today’s culture, projects and roles she’s interested in pursuing, her plans for her upcoming birthday, and Crochet for Haiti.
What drew you to the role of Hit-Girl?
I wanted to do an action film so badly. That is odd because they never write great action for kids. When the script came in I was so excited because Hit-Girl is a great character. She is crazy athletic and totally an amazing martial artist and marksman. One thing that made me like the character even more is that she is written with such heart. I got to do both action and drama in the same character and that is an actor’s dream.
Kick-Ass has a lot more action than your previous films. What was your favorite aspect of filming an action movie?
It is really tough to choose what was my favorite. I loved learning the martial arts moves. The weapons training that I did at a training center named 8711 was truly amazing! I did gymnastics and poise training also. I spent about a month with a couple of people at the Toronto Circus school and that was fun and challenging. Learning to actually flip a butterfly knife was fun and challenging too. I actually learned to flip two ballisongs at the same time, one in each hand.
Chloe and her brother Colin have put together Crochet for Haiti, a project on Facebook where you can order various crochet goodies for $5-10. All proceeds will be sent to the Red Cross Haitian Relief Fund, in support of the people of Haiti.
