Paul Rust To Star In 'Beth Cooper'

Newcomer Paul Rust will star in the Fox Atomic teen comedy "I Love You, Beth Cooper." Hayden Panettiere has already boarded the film as the eponymous character.

Jack Carpenter, Lauren Storm and Lauren London have also joined the project, which follows the adventures of a geeky high school valedictorian (Rust) who decides he has nothing to lose by making a play for the popular cheerleader (Panettiere) and declares his love for her during his graduation speech.
