“- Blake Lively is set to star as a drug-addicted mother to a 13-year-old girl, played by Chloe Moretz, in Hick…”
Blake won’t be playing Chloe’s mom. She’ll be playing a grifter named Glenda. Who may also be a mom. Very confusing 🙂
OK, that makes sense, I saw a couple articles that said she was playing Chloe’s mom, but they look too close in age, thanks!
Do you know when they start filming? (HICK)
[…] As we’ve reported, Paul Greengrass is working on a new film about the final days of Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. entitled Memphis, and now it looks like the movie will indeed be shot in Memphis, TN. […]
