Young Kick-Ass star, Chloe Moretz has signed to star in an upcoming indie drama titled Hick, which will be directed by Derick Martini.reports Variety. Based on Andrea Portes' novel which the author has adapted for the big screen, the story follows a 13-year-old Nebraska girl who flees her alcoholic and abusive parents and heads out on the road.
The world outside her door proves just as cold and uncaring, including the adult figures that come into her life like a cocaine-snorting grifter, and a crooked guy who eventually rapes her.
Tough stuff indeed but Moretz is already proven herself a pro at just 13 years old--having already shot Let Me In and The Fields, plus landing one of the leads in Martin Scorsese’s The Invention Of Hugo Cabret.
Shooting on Hick kicks off in New Mexico later this year.
