Brittany Snow (Prom Night) is set to star in director Aimee Lagos’ car-jack frightener 96 Minutes. The 24-year-old actress will play one of two college coeds abducted by high school gang-bangers during an initiation rite.

The film goes into production on May 17 in Atlanta.

An interesting aside I recently discovered about Snow is that her attractive figure is a direct result of anorexia. The actress told People magazine in 2006:

I always had in my mind that being skinny was better, even as a little girl. But I was never chubby or overweight.

My parents knew that I was dieting. A misconception about anorexia is that you don’t eat. Not true. Maybe you eat just 500 calories a day. It would be easy for me to say, “Why didn’t my parents notice?” But I didn’t want them to. I made sure to eat half a sandwich around my parents. But then came the sadness and thinking I was a terrible person for eating the sandwich.

I’m an actress, and because of the way Hollywood is, I do have to watch what I eat. No one has told me I need to look a certain way, and that’s great. The eating disorder will always be a part of my life. Some days, I think I’d like to be a size 0, but realistically, I think, “Come on, Brit. You’re great.

Is it wrong that I find that hot? I guess I like girls the way I like cheese: Fat-free American singles.
