Deadline is reporting that Peyton List has signed up for the lead role in the upcoming sci-fi horror film The Friendship Game.

The script is written by Damien Ober, with Scooter Corkle attached to direct, with the director releasing a statement saying:

Adding Peyton’s affectionate touch to the character in the cerebral madness of The Friendship Game has everyone excited, just wait and see where she takes you. Paired with Damien Ober’s addition to the cosmic horror pantheon, believe me, you can’t know what you’re in for.
