TORONTO — Actress Chloë Grace Moretz is heading to Vancouver to start work on the feature drama If I Stay.
The 16-year-old American star is no stranger to working north of the border. She made this summer’s Kick-Ass 2 (and 2010’s Kick-Ass) and the upcoming Carrie in Toronto last year.

Cameras are set to roll on If I Stay from Oct. 30 to mid-December. The drama is based on the 2009 novel of the same name by Gayle Forman about a teen named Mia (Moretz) who relives a fatal car crash on a snowy Oregon road.
The first scripted feature for director R. J. Cutler, the movie also stars British actor Jamie Blackley (Snow White and the Huntsman) and Canadian actor Jakob Davies, who plays Pinocchio on the B.C.-shot series Once Upon a Time.
Mireille Enos, whose made-in-Vancouver series The Killing was recently cancelled, is also in the cast.
Vancouver is also hosting the big screen adaptation of the E.L. James bestseller Fifty Shades of Grey beginning in early November. It stars Charlie Hunnam (Sons of Anarchy) as billionaire Christian Grey and Dakota Johnson (21 Jump Street) as college student Anastasia Steele.
