Moretz, who will soon become infamous for portraying a butchering,
cussin’ preteen vigilante in Kick-Ass, seems to be the latest in a round
of incredibly well-spoken child stars. She talked a bit about the
inevitable controversies making the film with Movieline and the
discussion eventually swung around to her starring role in the upcoming Let The Right One In remake,
Let Me In.
Moretz
told them she had never seen the original film before auditioning for
the role, and has only seen snippets of it because she wants to do her
own thing with it. What she says is comforting, showing that she at
least understands what made the character so unique.
The character of
Abby…I mean, usually a lot of movies glamorize being a
vampire. It’s pretty, it’s cool, you look awesome!
The way we did it was that it’s not cool to be a vampire.
It’s a burden that she has to carry with her, not this fun,
cool, interesting thing. It’s scary, deep, and dark, this
devil inside of her. The vampire is different than Abby. It’s
like her alternate personality, and when it takes her over, she has no
control.
I’m still very curious what they’re
going to do with the character, and if there might be any reveals during
the film. As you know, playing Oskar to her Eli is Kodi Smit-McPhee,
better known as the kid from The Road, so they definitely went with some
strong young actors here.
More on this still-distressing remake
as we hear it…

cool kid.
What, no comment yet from that dickhead who thinks everyone's a pedo for Hitgirl?
My sources tell me that Devin was supposed to report on this story but as he went through his 2nd bottle of Jergens, and was en route to the store for another bottle, he missed the deadline. And you're absolutely right Rxkevn, nobody could possibly infer pedo-baiting with the above picture. Nobody. By the way, my wife and me both agreed that you should no longer be allowed to babysit my 10 year old daughter. Or get within 50 feet of her.
Kick Ass is a piss poor comic anyway.
I'm just waiting for the $7 million opening Kick Ass has so we can get lectured by Devin about how we are too stupid to understand the art of lusting after pre-teens.
I thought the kid in The Road was terrible, easily the worst part of the film. Granted, in the book the kid comes across as unspoiled innocent-but-also-nearly retarded, but in the film the kid just comes across as retarded.
Wow, I know he's irrelevant, but I still thought the death of a Corey would get a story.
Why is it 'still distressing' – will the original just cease to exist when the remake comes out?
@#3: No-one's interested in your flat-chested little troglodyte (though you seem to think she's on the market). But hey, give it 8 years and I'd happily tear that shit up…if I can find a paper bag that is.
stay classy chud comments.
Well played, sir. Perhaps you can share that wealth of sexual experience you've earned as a Boy Scout leader to make my ugly daughter feel special for her first time. Assuming others of your ilk haven't gotten to her already…
Terrific work! This is the type of information that should be shared around the web. Shame on the search engines for not positioning this post higher!
Thank you, I have recently been searching for information about this topic for ages and yours is the best I have discovered so far.
