Chloë Grace Moretz To Star In New Horror Film From Writer Max Landis & Director Roseanne Liang

Chloë Grace Moretz has been on a bit of a hot streak lately. After her early career featured stints as a superhero in the ‘Kick-Ass’ films and as the titular character in the ill-advised “Carrie” remake, the young actress has changed course and now has a variety of interesting projects under her belt, including 2018’s “The Miseducation of Cameron Post” and “Suspiria,” as well as the upcoming “Greta,” starring opposite Isabelle Huppert. And it appears she’s going back to the horror genre, with some interesting talent behind the scenes for her next film.

Variety is reporting that Moretz has signed on to star in the upcoming horror film “Shadow in the Cloud.” The film follows Moretz, who plays a pilot who boards a B-17 Flying Fortress with a mysterious black bag and orders for her transport. As you might expect in a horror film, things get a bit crazy while in the air, as the young female pilot has to deal with an obnoxious all-male crew, an oncoming Japanese ambush, and a mysterious evil entity.

“Shadow in the Cloud” is the brainchild of screenwriter Max Landis. A filmmaker in his own right, Landis probably best known for his scripts for the films “Chronicle,” “Bright,” “American Ultra,” and most recently, as the showrunner of the TV series “Dirk Gently’s Holistic Detective Agency,” which ended in 2017 after a two-season run. He’s also the writer-director of the upcoming “American Werewolf in London,” which is a remake of his father John Landis’ classic horror film.

The upcoming film is directed by Roseanne Liang, who is probably best known for her 2011 film “My Wedding and Other Secrets,” and is most recently attached to the films “Fuse” and “Do No Harm.” Obviously, “Shadow in the Cloud” will be the highest-profile gig in her career.

The project has no release date and will be shopped around to distributors at this year’s Berlin Film Festival.
