According to recent reports, “Heroes” star Hayden Panettiere has signed on for the teenage comedy “Daydream Nation“. She will play an acerbic teen in the movie, and Keiran Culkin (”The Dangerous Lives of Altar Boys,” “Igby Goes Down”) will portray her oblivious boyfriend. The film will mark the directorial debut of screenwriter Michael Goldbach. The producers of “Daydream Nation” — Michael Besman (”About Schmidt”) and Cameron Lamb of Lila 9th Prods. — hope to reinvent the coming-of-age story for the 21st century, calling the film an intellectual comedy a la “Juno” and “Election.” NICE!!! Can’t wait to see Hayden Panettiere do comedy! =)
