There just isn’t a shortage of Michael Cera coming of age comedies out there is it? A trailer has just been released for Youth in Revolt. It’s a film by Miguel Iterta, and co-stars Zach Galifianakis, Justin Long, and newcomer Portia Doubleday. For the most part it’s that same deadpan comedy that we know and love, with a touch of romance and a dash of multiple personality disorder. Believe me, it looks crazier than it sounds. You can view the trailer below.

By far one of the sweetest and most charming films to come out of the LA Film Festival is Nicholas Jasenovec’s film Paper Heart starring Michael Cera and the creator and co-writer of the film Charlyne Yi. The film is a mixture between a documentary that Charlene embarks on in order to find out what love is and a film about a love story. The film has interview with many different types of couples around the country and cardboard cut-out vignettes to show us how they fell in love. Overall, this film has a homemade and genuine quality that both intrigues and entertains.
The film has already won a Waldo Salt Screenwriting Award and been nominated for the grand Jury Prize at Sundance. After the screening at LAFF, Jasenovec and one of the shining interviewees of the film David from Atlanta, got up to answer some questions.
Here is what they had to say…

When you take the comedic tone of Harold Ramis, the casting connections of Judd Apatow, and the backdrop of Mel Brook’s History of the World you get this weekend’s, Year One. In order to combat the box office champ The Hangover and the romantic charm of The Proposal, Ramis and company are busting out the big guns. Led by the outlandish Jack Black and typically subdued Michael Cera, Year One attempts to take you back to where it all began one slapstick joke at a time.

This has got to be one of the sweetest trailers I’ve seen in a long time. I think Michael Cera is one of the move clever comedians to watch. Mix that with Charlyne Yi, a stand up comedian, who has a simple and honest way about her and you have the potential for an amazing comedy. Sadly, this isn’t a REAL documentary as they claim it is, but I’m going to pretend I don’t know that and go with that they give me.

This is a great year for comedies. We have I Love You, Man, Observe and Report, Monsters Vs. Aliens, and then Year One. I have very high expectations for this film and if it’s anything like this trailer, I don’t think I’ll be disappointed.
I mean, we all know Jack Black has it in him to lead a comedy and Michael Cera is good in everything he’s in. Put them in a biblical comedic piece with a supporting cast that includes Paul Rudd and David Cross as Cain and Able and Christopher Mintz-Plasse as Isaac, with a screenplay by Harold Ramis (Groundhog Day), Gene Stupnitsky (“The Office”), and Lee Eisenberg (“The Office”), and it’s hard not to fail.

Some TV shows turned movie are recipes for disaster (remember how The Simpsons Movie turned out after all that anticipation?), but it’s hard to deny that a big screen version of Arrested Development would be a side-splitter.
Based on comments from Ron Howard at the Oscars and the recent report from E! that Michael Cera has agreed to making the film, I’d say that an Arrested Development movie is a sure deal and we’ll be hearing about a production plan very soon.
Howard told MTV that he met with the show’s writer Michael Hurwitz last Friday and said, “Things are going really well. He’s writing.” Those are reassuring words, but Howard also indicated that with the film getting more hype, he would have to be careful about revealing spoilers.

Two new pictures have been released of Director Edgar Wright’s (Shaun of the Dead, Grindhouse) upcoming big screen adaptation of Scott Pilgrim vs. The World. Wright seems to be releasing more photos than anyway can keep track of on his Flickr page, but these ones we thought were well worth a look.
The three new photos below include one of his characters walking down a model hallway and the other two are of Michael Cera as Scott Pilgrim and Anna Kendrick as Scott’s sister Stacey Pilgrim, hiding behind their characters.
Check them out below…

In an attempt to build some publicity for Youth in Revolt a video was “leaked” of Michael Cera flipping out on set. I think this is awesome. The best part is how not threatening Cera is. He’s kind of like the anti-Bale freaking out. It does show one thing, Cera’s hilarious.
Although it’s obviously a fake, but it’s still a lot of fun. Check it out below…

This whole Arrested Development debate has been going on for ages. Will they just start filming this thing already? Not long ago, Michael Cera said that the film was “more hypothetical than people think,” and that he would need to read the script first. Well actually what he said was, “I’d possibly like to play the part. I’d possibly like to put the script in my shredder.” Slight difference there.
Now the new rumor, started at a recent Upright Citizens Brigade LA performance of “Word Girl,”by Jeffrey Tambor, is that he believes that both Cera is on board and that the Arrested Development will happen this year. According to /Film he said:
