Kat Dennings has joined the cast of Defendor, putting the female half of Nick and Norah's Infinite Playlist on screen with Sandra Oh and Woody Harrelson. The picture, produced by Nicholas Tabarrok of Darius Films and set to start in Toronto next month, casts Dennings as a teenager living on the streets who befriends Harrelson's character, who believes he is a superhero called Defendor. Oh plays the man's psychiatrist.

Dennings is represented by Mick Sullivan at CAA. Jeremy Plager at CAA reps Harrelson, while Oh is with Marsha McManus of Principal Entertainment.

"It's an incredible cast for an indie," said Tabarrok (Coopers' Camera, Weirdsville) in a release. "We assembled a fantastic group of talent."

Feature first-timer Peter Stebbings will direct from his own script.
