Hayden Panettiere was 'flattered' when she was inquired of to play Amanda Knox in an unique picture: The Heroes star was talking to BBC Radio 1's Newsbeat while promoting her new flick Alpha and Omega when she admitted she felt 'floored' when she was offered the role. Amanda was sentenced to 26 years in jail last year after she was convicted of murdering British student Meredith Kercher in Perugia, Italy. The 21-year-old said the script is 'well done' and doesn't think people will have any problems with it. Panettiere added that she would like to meet Knox to get a feel for the role but she doubts it would be possible.
