Hick Rounding Out in NM

As we told you here NM’s Own (adopted) teen horror queen, Chloe Moretz is New Mexico re-visiting.

Come February Moretz will star in Hick, the gritty, dramatic story of a troubled teen girl who embarks on a cross-country hitchhike – we thinks Jodi Foster in Taxi Driver meets Reese Witherspoon in Freeway – that’s the caliber we deem Moretz…

The film is based on the acclaimed Andrea Portes novel of the same name. Portes adapted her work for the screen, indie fave Derrick Martini (Lymelife) will direct, Los Angeles casting by Edye Belasco…local casting deets to follow.

It was recently announced that Kirsten Dunst will also star.

Scary Little Lady, NM

Chloe Moretz (Kick Ass, 500 Days of Summer) who already has two NM films under her belt (Let Me In, The Eye) will return later this year in the Taylor Lane Productions film, Hick – based on the novel and adapted screenplay by Andrea Portes.

The pre-embryonic dish on the dark drama, to be directed by Derick Martini, is that this will be the edgiest role yet for this young but seasoned actress, maybe shades of Jodi Foster à la Taxi Driver? As they say on the evening news…You heard it here first!
