Kat Dennings is making a name for herself in Nick and Norah's Infinite Playlist. Chances are, it won't be the last time you hear from the young actress.

According to The Hollywood Reporter, she's in talks to join Woody Harrelson and Sandra Oh in Defendor.

The movie centers on a regular guy (Harrelson) who believes he has a secret superhero identity. Dennings (pictured) will play a teenager he befriends, while Oh is his psychiatrist.

We foresee a bright future for Kat Dennings.

Movie fans will familiarize themselves with Nick and Norah's Infinite Playlist this week. The comedy opens on Friday.

Below, young stars Michael Cera and Kat Dennings talk about the film with ComingSoon.net. Enjoy these excerpts:

ComingSoon.net: How were the two of you cast for this and did you get to spend any time together before being thrown out onto the streets of New York?
Michael Cera: Yeah, we hung out.
Kat Dennings: We had a lot of rehearsals.
Cera: Yeah, rehearsals and hanging out, just getting to know each other. That was definitely helpful. We knew each other and we were comfortable with each other and with Pete (Solett, director) and with all the other actors before jumping in.
Dennings: And with the locations.
Cera: Yeah, we rehearsed at the locations, which I've never done.
Dennings: I don't know why more people don't do that, because it is the most practical thing I've ever heard of.
Cera: We actually blocked it out, so when we got there we didn't have think about blocking, we could think about everything else. It was nice.
Dennings: It was really nice.

Tune in this week to Nick and Norah's Infinite Playlist, starring Kat Dennings and Michael Cera.

CS: Which one of you was cast first?
Dennings: You were first before anybody else.
Cera: Yeah, I met with Pete and then I was cast and that's when he started...
Dennings: I don't know if I was second cast, was I? Because me and Alexis and Ari were all cast around the same time. I think.
Cera: I think Pete wanted to find Norah before anyone else.
Dennings: It is just the girls when I was having my read with you, my final read with Michael it was me, Ari Graynor and Alexis Dziena. We all ended up getting the roles and we were all there together at the end. I wonder who beat everybody.

CS: At that point, you had already done "Superbad" but it hadn't come out yet?
Cera: It had come out I think. It was a few months before. We had done all the press tours for "Superbad" and everything. It was last summer and then in September it went to Europe.
Dennings: Yeah, it did because I saw you at the premiere.

MTV recently went on set of the upcoming comedy Nick and Norah's Infinite Playlist.

The film is based on a book and stars a pair of hot young actors: Michael Cera and Kat Dennings.

"[Cera's character] and I meet kind of by chance at a show for his band, the Jerkoffs, and end up kissing sort of by accident, but not really by accident. And then we get mad at each other, then fall in love a little bit, then get really mad, then fall in love a little bit more," said Dennings, who is most recognized for playing Catherine Keener's daughter in The 40-Year-Old Virgin.

"And I find Jesus in a bathroom at one point. There's just so many things in this movie that I actually can't keep track of them all."

Cera added:

"It doesn't tout itself as the be-all-end-all of youth. Nothing seemed too preposterous in it. It's just a good story of one night going all around Manhattan."
