Hayden Panettiere

'This is such a vulnerable story, and specifically, Amanda was so needy. My job was to play a girl who, regardless of what happened, was innocent in who she was.

'She's not a malicious girl. She didn't have any intention to do this. This wasn't an angry or dark girl.

Yeah, sure, nice people kill other people all the time. If hte movie portrays Foxy as killing hte other girl, I fial to see how there isn't malice involved. People sya Bundy was a nice guy too.

Argh, I hate it when actors talk about their siding with their characters. And then they come out with this stuff, totally believing it and thinking they have to educate the world. I might give Hayden a pass because she's very young but I generally find it embarrassing when actors go on about poor misunderstood people they portray.

A lot of very smart and reasonable people think Amanda Knox is innocent. I've read a lot about it and don't know what I believe.

Yeah, I have my doubts. The Italian police really screwed up the case, leaving me with reasonable doubts.

I agree with Thingee and Witchie. I think we'll never really know. Also, and I can't believe I'm saying this, but i think Hayden was a good choice for the role.

Yes I don't know if she is innocent or not but I do believe she did not get a fair trial.
I think Hayden is a good choice for the part as well. I think a lot of Lifetimes movies are going to be in Hayden's future.

Changing topics, while her public persona annoys me to no end, I just saw the Scream 4 trailer, and you know? She really does have a certain charisma. I think I forgot since Heroes S1. But it's very interesting to me how heavily she features in the trailer compared to the supposed lead, Emma Roberts. I think she might end up being a bit of scene stealer and getting some buzz back.

Hayden seems harmless so far. She should do well with minseries and that's not such a bad thing. Some of the best stuff I've seen so far are miniseries and she should go far if she does continue to play good, solid, niche roles. She's being very smart with her choices.

I think she did the Lifetime movie because that's what she can get at this stage of her career. I'm sure she'd love to be a movie star, but that's not going to happen, so she's smart to take whatever roles come her way.

When it was announced that she would be playing Amanda Knox, her rep actually made a statement that Hayden had beaten out Kristen Stewart and a few other A Listers for the part. It made me LOL. As if Kristen Stewart auditions for Lifetime movies.

Sigourney Weaver, Joan Allen, and Jeremy Irons have all been in Lifetime movies, and they've received award nominations for them. It's not some great shame or failed career move to be in a tv movie.
