Kick-Ass’ Chloe Moretz to Play Little Mermaid
Universal and Working Title have found its Little Mermaid star in Kick-Ass actress Chloe Moretz.
According to Variety, Moretz has been the frontrunner for quite a while, despite director Sofia Coppola's purported disinterest in bringing her on board. That said, Coppola has since left the project over creative differences.
The outlet notes that while the studio still wanted Moretz for the role, it didn't want to make an official announcement until a scriptwriter was settled upon. As such, this casting report comes coupled with word that Love Actually's Richard Curtis is in talks to write the film.

Zoe Quinn Memoir to Get Made Into a Movie
Former Sony Pictures boss Amy Pascal has won the film rights to Zoe Quinn's upcoming memoir Crash Override: How To Save The Internet From Itself, with Avengers star Scarlett Johansson (among other unnamed actresses) reportedly interested in portraying the Depression Quest game designer.
Deadline says the "movie deal was based on a proposal titled Control Alt Delete, and tells the story of how Quinn, creator of such hip interactive games as Depression Quest, was targeted by a digital mob bent on upending her life when a blog post by her ex-boyfriend went viral. It sparked the widely-discussed Gamergate controversy and took a surprising turn when instead of running, she decided to fight back. It is a very inside look at gaming and nerd culture and what happens when one gets caught in the gears of that machine."
