News > Panettiere Joins "Kiss List"

"Heroes" starlet Hayden Panettiere will play one of the title roles in Naomi and Ely's No Kiss List, based on the novel of the same name by Rachel Cohn and David Levithan. Amy Andelson and Emily Meyer will write the script. According to Variety:

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.

Cohn and Levithan wrote the similarly-titled novel "Nick and Norah's Infinite Playlist" which has itself been turned into a comedy film starring Michael Cera and Kat Dennings. Alexandra Milchan, Lesley Vogel and Emily Gerson-Saines are producing.
