It was bound to happen:  A film about the Amanda Knox/Meredith Kercher case is in the works.   The “big news” is that Hayden Panetierre will play Amanda Knox in this new film.

One only can wonder how Ms. Knox and Ms. Kercher’s family and friends feel about this announcement.

Rather than news about a film, I’m much more interested in hearing about her upcoming appeal, scheduled for November 2010.  As a study abroad adviser, I’m much more curious about how this case was handled and how the outcome of the appeal will impact students’ decisions to study abroad.

Nevertheless, here is a news clip about the upcoming film.
