She was seen for the first time on the set of the horror movie, directed by Roseanne Liang, where she portrays a World War II bomber pilot facing off against Japanese adversaries.

Actress Chloe Grace Moretz was spotted on location in New Zealand, filming her upcoming movie Shadow in the Cloud. She looked every bit the part of a fighter pilot as she prepared to take flight on set.
The 22-year-old actress showcases her action hero skills in the Roseanne Liang-directed movie, where she portrays a WW2 bomber pilot. In a scene, one of her sleeves is torn off, revealing a bloody wound, and her fists are wrapped in bandages. We see Chloe in a moment of intense combat as she sits atop an enemy, fiercely attacking him with her fists. As described by Variety, the film Shadow in the Cloud follows the story of a B-17 Flying Fortress pilot during World War II who holds onto a mysterious black radio bag containing top secret orders.

Chloe’s character faces challenges as she deals with pushback from her male crew, a surprise attack from Japanese forces, and mysterious events aboard the aircraft. In April, Chloe announced that the film underwent revisions due to the cast and crew’s decision to cut ties with screenwriter Max Landis amid allegations of misconduct. Speaking to The Guardian, she explained that they have detached themselves from Landis, with multiple rewrites distancing his involvement from the project.
With a smile on her face, Chloe flashed a grin while taking a break between scenes, suggesting that the task at hand wasn’t too taxing.
Without holding back, Chloe found herself in a dominant position on top of her opponent, relentlessly delivering punches with a fierce determination.

‘She emphasized the importance of effective communication and the need for accountability,’ she remarked. ‘It’s terribly upsetting to hear those accounts.’ Recent reports revealed that Landis has been accused of both emotional and sexual misconduct by eight women. One of the accusers labeled him as a ‘repeat offender, manipulator, and both physical and emotional abuser’. Former partners, friends, and coworkers shared experiences of different levels of abuse allegedly inflicted by Landis over a span of more than ten years. These accounts were detailed in a lengthy expose by the Daily Beast that was published on Tuesday. The allegations against Landis first surfaced in 2017, mainly on social media platforms, with some incidents dating back a decade.

During the intense battle, Chloe was being yanked in all directions by her adversary, as if they were connected at the waist. Landis made a name for himself with the screenplay for Chronicle, and most recently he wrote the film Bright. Chloe faced a similar dilemma when she played a role in Louis C.K.’s controversial film, I Love You Daddy, back in 2017. However, the movie was ultimately shelved due to Louis’ admission of sexual misconduct during the #MeToo movement, and Chloe chose not to support the film until it was pulled from release.
Chloe has just shared that they have completely separated themselves from him. The movie they were working on had to be extensively rewritten due to the serious sexual misconduct accusations against screenwriter Max Landis.
A few months down the line, she shared with The New York Times, “I feel like it’s best if it fades into the background, to be honest. I don’t believe it’s the right moment for them to speak up. It’s heart-wrenching to invest time in a project only to see it vanish. Nevertheless, this movement is incredibly impactful and forward-thinking, and I’m just grateful to be part of this communication and witness the substantial shift in the industry, which I believe is genuinely happening.”
Some major claims were made in April when Chloe mentioned that the movie had undergone changes in the script, as the actors and production team started to keep their distance from the screenwriter, Max Landis, due to allegations of inappropriate behavior.
