Universal sees star quality in Selena Gomez. The studio, along with Strike Entertainment, have acquired the rights to Jay Asher’s best-selling 2007 teen novel “13 Reasons Why” as a starring vehicle for the Disney star, according to Deadline.
The story centers around a shy high school student who comes home one day to find a stack of audio cassettes on his front porch, and discovers they were left by a classmate who had recently committed suicide. She left a total of thirteen tapes, one for each person to hear about their role in her death. Selena would play the deceased Hannah Baker, who will appear throughout the film in flashbacks. Jennifer O’Kieffe is adapting the novel for the big screen.
Selena broke out on the tween scene with Disney Channel’s “Wizards of Waverly Place” and has recently been attempting to venture into non-Disney big screen projects, most recently in family comedy“Ramona and Beezus” and this summer’s teen romance caper “Monte Carlo”..
Proud to be a Selenator
Love and Peace Always
