It looks like Hayden Panettiere (the barely legal bombshell from Heroes) will be branching out into film with Daydream Nation. We get the skinny from the dudes at comingsoon:
Hayden Panettiere (“Heroes”) is set to star in teenage comedy Daydream Nation, written and to be directed by Michael Goldbach, says Variety. Kieran Culkin is in negotiations to play opposite Panettiere as her oblivious boyfriend. Daydream Nation, budgeted at about $10 million, is scheduled to start production in the second or third quarter of this year.
Well, not much information about the film so I could not begin to tell you what it is about. I know that Hayden is wildly popular amongst fans of Heroes and I think now is the time for her to try and make some moves. From what I hear, the second season was a titanic letdown and with the writer’s strike putting everything on hold – only bad things can happen to the momentum the show had going for it. She is wise to jump ship before the show jumps shark (if it hasn’t already).
Hayden is now 19, ready to rock, and if she wants to crossover into film, this may be her best chance. I am not familiar with her acting, I do not watch the show – but international friends I ask you: Do you think she she has the chops to make it on the big screen and would you like to see her there?
P.S. Daydream Nation is also a very good Sonic Youth album
