You're watching multisource U.S. news analysis from Newsy.

She’s been found not guilty of murdering her 2-year-old daughter.

She could be walking free as early as Thursday.

Now-- the question everyone’s asking- what’s next for Casey Anthony?

Analyst (CNN): “Where does she work? Perhaps a book deal, perhaps a reality television show. She’s got to live her life and I think we’re all going to be watching.”

Anchor: “She’s the most famous 25-year-old in America.”

Analyst: “Exactly.”

A crisis management expert tells Fox News, the Anthony’s will..

“...hire a publicist, and perhaps even an agent, to identify and sort out immediate opportunities....It is generally acceptable for someone like Casey, who is not a traditional public figure and who is without substantial income, to accept a fee for a big, exclusive interview with the likes of ABC’s 20/20 or Oprah.”

Who would want to watch an interview with a woman many believe just got away with murder? CNN reports- just about everybody.

“Just to give you an idea of how captivated America was by the trial, CNN.com has put up several stories about the verdict. One of the, just one of them got more than 20,000 reader comments- not views, comments.”

But a public relations specialist tells the St. Petersburg Times-- Anthony’s story may be popular, but Anthony sure isn’t. She might not be the one to cash in.

“...because many in the public disagree with the verdict, Casey Anthony might have a tougher time...the jurors in the Anthony trial might have the most valuable story, particularly if they negotiate together like the rescued Chilean miners.”

The jurors are allowed to talk freely about the case- though so far, they’ve all chosen to keep quiet. But since Anthony was convicted of lying to police--

Fox News reports she may not be able to tell-all and collect a check.

“If she wrote a book about this incident and got a million dollar signing bonus- because she was actually convicted of something, there may be an issue as to whether she can collect... She is going to be a celebrity. She is going to be a celebrity in all the magazines. She’s going to get a line of pocketbooks. It’s going to be disgusting.”

But whether you think of Anthony as a villian-- or a victim-- her story is destined for the big screen.
That’s the conversation online--

According to the Toronto Star...

“Twilight actress Kristen Stewart has already been pegged in online speculation as a top choice to play the Florida woman...”

And movie site Screen Junkies has already cast what it calls the “inevitable” Casey Anthony movie- with Angelina Jolie, Anthony LaPaglia, and Forest Whitaker landing starring roles.

According to Fox News-- video pornography company Vivid Entertainment has already called Anthony’s attorney to extend an offer for a quote “business relationship.”
