With no new Heroes episodes on the way for many months, Hayden Panettiere has time for a couple movies.

The actress, who has already signed on to star in I Love You, Beth Cooper, is now on board for Daydream Nation.

Kieran Culkin is in negotiations to portray Panettiere's oblivious boyfriend in the film. The movie, budgeted at about $10 million, is scheduled to start production in the second or third quarter of this year.
