Nick & Norah’s Infinite Playlist is a comedy about two people thrust together for one hilarious, sleepless night of adventure in a world of mix tapes, late-night living, and, live, loud music. Nick frequents New York’s indie rock scene nursing a broken heart and a vague ability to play the bass. Norah is questioning pretty much all of her assumptions about the world. Though they have nothing in common except for their taste in music, their chance encounter leads to an all-night quest to find a legendary band’s secret show and ends up becoming the first date in a romance that could change both their lives.
About Kat’s Character
Norah Silverberg is the teenage daughter of a wealthy record producer who shares Nick’s passion for music. Dennings was the second actor to be cast (Cera having been first). Sollett saying that “her being liberated from [people’s expectations] liberated the film in many ways, and certainly her character from cliché.” Dennings felt that she related to Norah more than any other she had played before and “wanted to make sure she was really fleshed out”. Her favorite day of shooting was with a group of drag queens at a gay cabaret, but she said that filming Norah’s first orgasm was “really uncomfortable… Really, really.”
