Chloe to star in 'Hick'

How many juicy roles are there for unbearably precocious young actresses like Chloe Moretz? Not as many as you’d think, which makes a star turn in an adaptation of a novel about ” a 13-year-old Nebraska girl who gets more than she bargained for when she runs away to Las Vegas” seem like a pretty good idea. So Moretz is signing a deal to star in Hick, based on the novel of the same name by Andrea Portes.

Variety says that Derick Martini, director and co-writer of Lymelife, is set to direct the film. Portes adapted the script herself. I haven’t read Portes, but Lymelife –with its own teen perspective on the dangers and failings of the American Dream — is enough evidence that Martini is a good pick to direct, and with Moretz could make something memorable out of the material. There are elements of Hick’s story that, if handled properly, could provide a particularly nightmarish parallel tale to Hit Girl’s story in Kick-Ass.

Hick is another movie which Chloe will be filming in new Mexico later this year already unfortunately people are being rather silly on various websites talking about a rape scene making it out to be full on duh Chloe is 13 and her family won't let her do anything full on like an actual rape scene it will be more implied.
