Hayden Panettiere Lands Lead In Naomi and Ely’s No Kiss List

Panettiere HaydenThe Cheerleader has been tapped to play the female lead in Naomi and Ely’s No Kiss List, we get wind of this news thanks to the professionals at Variety:

Fox Atomic is acquiring the novel “Naomi and Ely’s No Kiss List” and will develop it as a star vehicle for “Heroes” star Hayden Panettiere. Amy Andelson and Emily Meyer will write the script.

Published last year by Knopf, “Naomi and Ely’s No Kiss List” takes place in Manhattan, where Naomi and her gay best friend Ely protect their soulmate friendship by creating a list of people deemed off limits for smooching. Their friendship is imperiled when Ely kisses Naomi’s boyfriend.

I don’t watch Heroes, so I am not as ravenous about Hayden Panettiere as many of my fan-boy brethren, but she certainly is an all American, girl next door looker. Her name has popped up recently for a few film projects; lets see if she is able to capitalize on her momentum and become a regular on the big screen.

This plot synopsis does not really interest me to be honest. The smooching list seems a bit odd, and unnecessary. I think you could have a perfectly good story about her gay best friend stealing her man without the gimmick of a “no limits” list. A list like this may work for a movie about kids in grade 5, but for teens/young adults … I just don’t buy it.
