Hick

Chloe Moretz is quite the spitfire in the new red-band trailer for Hick. Abandoned by her father (probably for the better), Moretz's character, Luli McMullen, spends a few minutes contemplating her next move before hitting the road. Destination: Las Vegas. What a great place for a newly orphaned teenage girl! With nothing but a backpack and a loaded pistol in her possession, Luli starts hitchhiking her way there. Along the way, she befriends a kindly drug addict, played by Blake Lively, and the two embark on what looks like a crazy dangerous adventure.

The poster for Hick came out a few weeks ago, but it's nice to finally see Moretz and Lively in action. We've been a fan of Moretz's since we first took note of her ass-kicking skills a couple years ago in Kick-Ass, and this role recalls the unexpected fierceness she displayed as Hit-Girl, only with a dash of Clint Eastwood this time. The movie comes out in theaters and VOD May 11, but let us know what you think when you watch the trailer after the jump.

Blake Lively and Chloe Moretz have played bright-eyed beauties plenty of times before, but they're going a bit edgier for their new movie, Hick. The film hits theaters on May 11 (and will be available on VOD the same day), but we've got your exclusive first look at the poster. In the movie, a pistol-wielding Moretz leaves home and heads to Vegas, where she runs in with a few slippery people — namely, Lively (as a drug addict) and My Week With Marilyn's Eddie Redmayne. One thing's for sure: from the looks of this poster, Moretz is definitely not a kid anymore. What do you think of the one-sheet?
