Daydream Nation rolls elements of Juno, American Beauty, Donnie Darko and Twin Peaks into a potent blunt. When inhaled, it offers a harsh satirical whiff of the end of the world as imagined by a precocious teenage upstart with a bad attitude.

Kat Dennings to Compete Against Herself with Thor and Daydream Nation

Kat Dennings will appear in her first, big budget, comic book movie adaptation this May with Thor, but isn't stepping away entirely from the smaller budget and indie movies she's acted in like 2009's Defendor and 2005's Charlie Bartlett. In fact, opening the exact same day as Thor is Daydream Nation, Mike Goldbach's (Childstar) directorial debut that has Dennings playing a girl who moves to a small town and starts a romance with a fellow student (Reece Thompson) and her teacher (Joshua Lucas).
In a conversation with Canadian site Straight, Goldbach revealed that Dennings was critical to scoring financing for the movie and landing the rest of the cast.
Once she attached herself, other actors came running. She's wonderful and people love her, and once Kat was on the movie, they understood what kind of movie we were trying to make.
