Hayden Panettiere to star in 'Naomi and Ely's No Kiss List'

Fox Atomic is plunging further into the Hayden Panettiere business. The Heroes actress is attached to star in Naomi and Ely's No Kiss List, an adaptation of a book by authors Rachel Cohn and David Levithan, which the studio just purchased. (Fox Atomic also recently cast Panettiere in I Love You, Beth Cooper.) No Kiss List centers on teenagers Naomi and her gay best friend Ely, neighbors and soul mates since childhood who have created a roster of people who are absolutely off limits for kissing. Newcomers Amy Andelson and Emily Meyer are writing the script. Alexandra Milchan, Lesley Vogel, and Emily Gerson-Saines will produce. Cohn and Levithan are also the writers behind Nick and Norah's Infinite Play List which Michael Cera and Kat Dennings just wrapped for Sony Pictures.
