 Nikki Reed and Hayden Panettiere: "Downers Grove" Gals

Making for quite the exciting onscreen pairing, Nikki Reed and Hayden Panettiere have signed on to star in a new thriller called “Downers Grove.”

The “I Love You Beth Cooper” chick and “New Moon” hottie's project is to be set in a high school, with shooting to begin this spring in Louisiana.


Hayden and Nikki will play students at a Chicago-area school where a member of each year’s senior class dies a bizarre death.

Myriad Pictures honcho Kirk D’Amico told press, "We are very excited about this project. The combination of the thriller genre, a very popular and well-known cast, Bret Easton Ellis' dynamic screenplay and Nelson McCormick's incredible skill with young actors and ability to create tension and terror onscreen is just unbeatable."
