    Yeah, so she's the girl from the "Firestarter" reboot film. As I recall,
    she was not the problem with that film.

    She's apparently only 15 IRL, which creeps me out a little...

    As others have said it's likely she will be 17 or 18 by the time this
    is actually released.

    It will still have been filmed when she's 15 or 16, though.

    If an actress plays her own age, then a normal girl can be cast rather
    than an absurdly short woman with a baby face playing five years
    younger.

    I've never heard you say Chloe Grace Moretz creeped you out, playing Hit
    Girl at age 13 in Kick-Ass (2010); Mindy was supposed to be age 11. Hit
    Girl killed more henchmen and henchwomen in one of her fight scenes than
    was killed in an entire season of Buffy.

    But Slayers are supposed to be that age when they get "the calling", so why would it be creepy for her to be that age or playing that age?
