Awesome! Chloe Moretz is 'Emily The Strange'

This is good news for sure! Chloe Moretz (Hit-Girl in "Kick-Ass") will be playing the title character in Universal's adaptation of the Dark Horse comic "Emily The Strange," which Rob Reger created.

Thats pretty much all we know about the project at this stage. Plot details are kept under wraps, but I heard Emily's cats will be in action as well. Reger created the "Emily The Strange" franchise in the '90s.

As for Moretz, she's the coolest young actress around. I had the chance to chat with her earlier this year, and I've seldomly met someone this young who's also an absolute professional in the movie business.

Really cool 'Let Me In' feature poster hits

Here is a brand-new poster for Matt Reeves' upcoming horror remake "Let Me In," and as you can see below, it's really cool. It features lead actress Chloe Moretz as the hungry vampire chick looking for blood.

"Let Me In" follows a bullied young boy who befriends a young female vampire who lives in secrecy with her guardian. Kodi Smit-McPhee and Richard Jenkins co-star. Tomas Alfredson helmed the original.

Reeves' version hits theaters Oct. 1, 2010. I hear this version is very close to the original, and I guess that's a good sign. It would be nice to watch a remake that kind of stays true to its source flick, right?

New poster and trailer for 'Let Me In"

The American remake of "Let the Right One In" is hitting theaters Oct. 1, 2010, and a new poster has been released on the Web, in addition to the trailer that premiered last week. See both of them below.

The poster is kind of mysterious, even though I admit they could've improved the top part of it. Something about the size and font of the Matt Reeves and "Cloverfield" writings just seems off. Not a good fit.

Other than that, I definitely like it. The trailer below also looks pretty good, although I'm sure the remake won't fully live up to the original. BUT... there's always a chance it will turn out solid enough, right?

In case you don't know it yet, Matthew Vaughn's "Kick-Ass" is currently my favorite film of 2010.

"Kick-Ass" has earned it though, and the film will open in theaters April 16, 2010. Three fantastic new posters for the film have now debuted online, and you can check them out below.
