Chloe Grace Moretz wants to be in the upcoming "Star Wars Episode VII" film.
The "Kick-Ass 2" star told MTV that she would love to be in the new franchise and would even give director J.J Abrams her phone number. She said, "I mean, obviously there's interest. It's 'Star Wars.' I'd kill to be a part of that franchise, but I don't know. JJ, I'll give you my phone number. You can text me."
No casting news has been announced yet, but Moretz could fit the profile for one of the roles that was revealed in the casting call. The casting call stated the film was looking for, "seven key roles that must be cast, including a young man in his early-to-mid 20s, two young females who both have to be physically fit and an older man in his 70s who could be in the vein of Obi-Wan Kenobi."
Moretz has already shown that she is physically fit and cable of doing action sequences, as she has played the role of Hitgirl in the "Kick-Ass" series. She has also proven to be a growing star with terrific displays of her acting abilities in such films as "Hugo" and "Let me In." Moreover, she has worked with A-List directors Martin Scorsese, Tim Burton, Matthew Vaughn and Marc Webb. Whether she will be cast is still undetermined, but with her growing profile Moretz could be a good choice for the role.
"Star Wars Episode VII" is set to start production in August and will be directed Abrams. Kathleen Kennedy is producing the script by Michael Arndt, while Mark Hamill, Carrie Fisher, and Harrison Ford are rumored to return to the series.
Disney is expected to announce more details on the project at the D23 expo with sources stating that part of the cast will be revealed.
"Star Wars Episode VII" is set for release in 2015.
