Chloe Moretz Zombies Up In MAGGIE

Chloe Moretz can do almost no wrong in my eyes. She was nothing short of incredible as Hit Girl in one of my favorite films of 2010 and she was one of the main reasons why. But her potential didn't end at just being a child vigilante/assassin. She went on to give solid performances in films like "Let Me In" and last year's best picture nominated film "Hugo". Chloe can next be see this weeks new Johnny Depp film "Dark Shadows".

Reports are now out that the latest project Chloe has signed on for is the title character in the upcoming Zombie film "Maggie".

The basic story is set during a normal, stereotypical zombie apocalypse. (Paddy) Considine plays a father taking care of his daughter (Moretz), but when she is bit she slowly starts turning into a monster that he knows he will have to kill. Clearly becoming the hardest decision he's ever had to make.

On the one hand I'm pretty tired of Zombie stories. I mean, if I described this movie to you, would you be able to guess which one I'm talking about: "A zombie outbreak has hit the world and (name of group of people) struggle to survive the apocalypse and search for a haven for humanity". You can't name the movie or TV show… because I just described every single zombie project ever made.

ON THE OTHER HAND… there is rich story telling possibilities in the context of zombie films due to the fact that they center around such powerful human circumstances such as survival, loss, desperation, love, life etc. etc. etc.

So all things considered, to me "Maggie" sounds like a winner.

    The necksnap carries more weight than Zod's stab because the HERO does it.  Baddies can be bad, but that's because they are BAD, and **doomed to lose to the heroes**.  Having the hero do bad things sends the wrong message (& superheroes are, by definition, mythic characters that *always* carry a message, period), especially to kids.   It also breaks the sprit of the Superman character since he was changed from a vigilante around 1941. Supes could just as easily covered Zod's eyes.

    Man of Steel, Plot of Plastic. Lois knows, as all heroes must be fanned in narcissistic Twitty/Facilebook culture (ala "Amazing Spider Man"). Everyone knows Lois knows, so people will watch everyone around her like a hawk, and S's CK reporter ID will be blown in 5 sec.  (  ;) for the cam CK.) (Very original) plot has S stopping (Nero's red matter drill) World Engine, by (flying up light shaft into wormhole) flying up light shaft into World Engine while (red matter ship)/(SHIELD nuke) crib ship bomb crashed into baddies amid destroyed (Manhattan) Metropolis, tossing (Romulans) Kryptos back into (wormhole) black hole. Then S proceeds to break Bat's 1 rule. Shiny/pretty Supersuit, & Kryptotech cool, but best looking thing by end of movie was "Superman Returns". Some fans will shout: "Let Nolan/Snyder/Goyer try again!", and I will whisper "No." TO:  Nolan/Snyder/Goyer RE:  Superman WASN'T BROKEN.   STOP FIXING.
