Washington
(ANI):
Hayden
Panettiere
is
in
talks
to
star
in
the
teen
coming-of-age
movie
I
Love
You,
Beth
Cooper.
The
pic
is
based
on
a
novel
by
Larry
Doyle,
and
is
being
produced
by
Chris
Columbus
and
his
1492
Pictures
partners
Michael
Barnathan
and
Mark
Radcliffe.
Columbus
is
also
negotiating
with
20th
Century
Fox
and
its
Fox
Atomic
label
to
direct
the
movie.
If
she
gets
the
part,
Panettiere
would
play
Beth,
the
school's
hottest
cheerleader
who
shows
nerdy
valedictorian
Denis
Cooverman
the
best
night
of
his
life
after
he
proclaims
his
love
for
her
during
his
graduation
speech.
Fox
is
looking
at
a
spring
start
for
the
filming
of
the
pic.
Debbie
Liebling
and
Zak
Kadison
are
overseeing
for
Fox
Atomic.
