There's not a lot of new movie information here, I just think its interesting listening to such a young girls take on playing such a violent, controversial character..
“I’ve been trained since I was a baby to be this crazy assassin girl,” Moretz told MTV of Hit-Girl, who she hopes to reprise in sequels. “What I like about the character is that she’s an assassin, but at the same time she is still just an 11-year-old girl. She doesn’t know any better; it’s just how she was raised.”
In the interview, Moretx tells MTV about that infamous scene from the trailer in which Hit Girl dispatches quite a few bad guys..quite violently.
“It was absolutely amazing, and probably the hardest thing I’ve ever done in my life,” she explained. “It was four months-plus training. Learning how to roll, how to jump over barriers and land on your shoulder. I actually came home one day, and I had a big bruise all the way down my back!”
“It was really fun to do. I learned how to take apart a gun, put it back together, clean it, but they’d never let me touch a gun [unless] I checked it first, made sure it was a fake bullet; if it was supposedly clear, I had to check it to [confirm] that it was clear.”
“While I was shooting the movie, even though I thought I knew [all the moves], it was still really hard to do,” she said of the film’s intricately-constructed fight scenes “Because you had to think about acting, and choreography of the scene. So, I’m going to have to be running and jumping and shooting in mid-air, while also thinking about my face and not [counting down the steps] like ‘1…2…3..oh no, I just said it!’ Trying to remember the steps: left foot, then right foot, then jump. That was really confusing.”
Apparently Moretz's father is a huge comic book fan, and she brought him to the set one day..
“I actually have a really, really hilarious story. My Dad is an Eagle Scout, and he carries a little pocket knife on him all the time,” explained Moretz. “Nic, he likes Red Bull, and he was drinking a Red Bull one day but couldn’t open it. He tried to pop the can, but the little tab fell off.”
“So, my Dad says ‘I can open that for you!’ yanks out his Leatherman and flips it open. He says ‘Here give me the can!’ and [sticks his knife in the top],” she laughed. “Pop! It spews everywhere! It exploded — it was so funny. But Nic is such a nice guy, he took the can and drank it anyway.”
“I was like ‘Wow, Dad!, I just want to crawl under a rock and hide right now!’”
After reading this I had a vision of Nic Cage wiping red bull from his face and giving Moretz's Dad his best Bad Lieutenant stare!
