hayden panettiere hair Oct 14 (THIANDIAN NEWS) Hayden Panettiere, from the movie ‘Stripes’ and the television series ‘Heroes’, is all set to play the part of Amanda Knox, the girl who was convicted in Italy of murdering her roomate, and is now serving a twenty-six year sentence for the alleged crime. ‘The Amanda Knox Story’ will air in 2011.

Knox was charged with murder, sexual assault, and obstruction of justice in the case of her British roommate, Meredith Kercher’s death. Two other people shared the apartment with the two girls. The case is still very controversial, since most think that the media frenzy in Italy caused Knox’s trial to be unfair.

With so many issues surrounding the case still unsolved, it could prove very difficult to make a true story movie from it. It is still very unclear exactly what happened the night of the murder.

Hayden is also expected ot have a part in the new ‘Scream 4’.
