Look At Chloe Moretz As Abby In This LET ME IN First Look Image

I thought Chloe Moretz was fantastic in Kick-Ass, she practically was the damn show. And even though I resent the Let The Right One In Remake only because I think the Swedish original was already a masterpiece in its own right, I think Moretz would be make it bearable. She’s probably going to be the only great thing about this English language version. Via Chloemoretz.com, the image above is from the upcoming May 14 issue of Entertainment Weekly giving you first look at Chloe Moretz as Abby in LET ME IN directed by Matt Reeves (Cloverfield). Definitely looks different than actress Lina Leandersson in the original…

Coming to theaters on October 1, the Overture Films release tells a terrifying tale about an alienated 12-year old boy named Owen (Kodi Smit-McPhee) who is viciously bullied by his classmates and neglected by his divorcing parents. Achingly lonely, Owen spends his days plotting revenge on his middle school tormentors and his evenings spying on the other inhabitants of his apartment complex. His only friend is his new neighbor Abby (Moretz), an eerily self-possessed young girl who lives next door with her silent father (Richard Jenkins). A frail, troubled child about Owen’s age, Abby emerges from her heavily curtained apartment only at night and always barefoot, seemingly immune to the bitter winter elements. Recognizing a fellow outcast, Owen opens up to her and before long, the two have formed a unique bond.
