SHH's Ed Douglas caught up with Chloe Moretz at NYCC over the weekend. The majority of the interview is about her turn as Carrie in Kimberley Piece's upcoming remake, but she also spoke a little about returning to the world of Kick-Ass to play the ultra-violent Hit-Girl. Moretz suggests we will see a more of the character this time around, and talks about what it was like to go - pretty much literally - straight from shooting Carrie to the Kick-Ass 2 set..
"I'm not going back in time, which is good. I'm growing up with this, so it's just an older sophisticated version of Hit Girl and we don't take away who she was but you see Mindy more in this movie and you see her struggle with who she is and try to figure out what she likes, if she likes this, if she likes that, who is she? It was really funny because I only had a weekend off in between 'Carrie' and 'Kick-Ass' so I went from wearing blood every day of my life for the last three weeks of shooting 'Carrie,' to starting 'Kick-Ass.' The first thing I shot was me in full Hit-Girl mode, knives, guns… it was so anti-climactic to go from being this really heartbroken character to be this strong, powerful woman."
