Danielle Panabaker is to play the female lead in the upcoming remake of Friday the 13th.

Jonathan Sadowski (She's The Man), Travis van Winkle (Meet The Spartans) and Aaron Yoo (Disturbia) have also signed up to the Platinum Dunes movie, according to The Hollywood Reporter.

Supernatural star Jared Padalecki is already on board as the male lead, while Derek Mears will be Jason Voorhees.

Panabaker, who plays James Woods's daughter in CBS show Shark, will take the role previously slated for Amanda Righetti. Her character is described as the adventurous, athletic girlfriend of van Winkle's wealthy alpha male.

Yoo will play quirky Chumbler, who wears his attraction to pretty girls on his sleeve, while Sadowski is a techie who knows the story of Camp Crystal Lake.

The Marcus Nispel-helmed movie is scheduled for release next February.
