Stars in Rewind: Michael Cera - Mental Murderer

13 hours ago | Cinematical | See recent Cinematical news »

Many say Michael Cera lacks range. He's played the awkward, cousin-obsessed George Michael, the awkward university tour guide on Veronica Mars, awkward Evan in Superbad and Paulie in Juno ... you get the picture. But see, it wasn't always the way of the terminally awkward. Before all that, he was a mental murderer.

In an effort to show his range, Cera brought an old clip with him to an interview with David Letterman. Back before he hit Hollywood, when he was acting in Canadian TV and chilling in the same hood as the real-life Lars and the Real Girl guy (Brampton, Ontario), Cera had a brief guest role on La Femme Nikita. It was back in 2000, and Cera played a kid named Jerome who could not only control people's minds, but also kill them with the power of his own little mind, as he's caught in some weird foam fort thing. »

Cera vs. Cera: Youth in Revolt

13 hours ago | Huffington Post | See recent Huffington Post news »

In Youth in Revolt -- a Catcher in the Rye meets Fight Club coming-of-age film -- Michael Cera does what many have wanted to do to Michael Cera themselves personally: whup his own sorry ass. And that is definitely worth seeing. For me, personally, Cera's jig was up. What I found so endearing about him in Juno and amusing in Superbad became down right annoying in Nick and Nora's Infinite Playlist and positively ridiculous in Year One. In a mere two years Cera had become over-exposed playing that same dry-witted, bumbling, reluctant hero. Cera's trajectory was enough to make one feel sorry for actor Jesse Eisenberg (The Squid and the Whale). He was Michael Cera before Michael Cera became Michael Cera. Except after Michael Cera became Michael Cera, Jesse Eisenberg was reduced to a poor man's Michael »

SXSW 2010 is Going to 'Kick-Ass'

19 hours ago | Cinematical | See recent Cinematical news »

After wowing the crowd at December's Butt-Numb-a-Thon (including our own John Gholson), the ultra-violent smart-ass superhero flick Kick-Ass is coming back to Austin for a more formal bow as the Opening Night Film of SXSW 2010 in mid-March.

The hype's only been exceedingly positive for Matthew Vaughn's comic-book adaptation, and Lionsgate was probably only willing to shell out a reported $50 million to distribute it if they thought they'd be making that much back and then some. Aaron Johnson (pictured), Christopher Mintz-Plasse (Superbad), Chloë Grace Moretz (500 Days of Summer) and Nicolas Cage (The Wicker Man) star; the film opens proper on April 16th.

SXSW won't reveal its complete program for a few weeks yet, not until early February, but they did reveal a couple of additional titles:

Filed under: Action, Comedy, Documentary, Drama, Independent, Music & Musicals, Sports, SXSW, Lionsgate Films, Comic/Superhero/Geek

Anna Kendrick And The Wackness Director Join James McAvoy Cancer Comedy

5 January 2010 8:19 PM, PST | cinemablend.com | See recent Cinema Blend news »

Anna Kendrick is on a friggin' roll right now after her sure-to-be-Oscar-nominated performance in Up in the Air, so it was only a matter of time before she snagged some sweet new job to capitalize on her newfound success. Turns out that job will be with fellow bright young thing James McAvoy and, uh, The Wackness director Jonathan Levine? There's a strange collection of names now attached to the project formerly known as I'm With Cancer, in which McAvoy plays a twenty-something diagnosed with cancer and learning how to live with it. Seth Rogen and Evan Goldberg (who also wrote Superbad and Pineapple Express together) will be producing the film, in which Kendrick will play a young psychologist trying to help McAvoy's character while learning how to do her job herself. The role sounds perfect for Kendrick, who's got the "confused young go-getter" thing perfected. I'm both surprised and delighted »

Michael Cera is a 'Youth in Revolt'

5 January 2010 7:42 PM, PST | TheInsider.com | See recent The Insider news »

Michael Cera taps into his rebellious side in the new comedy 'Youth in Revolt,' in theaters Friday, and the "The Insider" was with the 'Superbad' star at the film's New York premiere! On the blinding paparazzi flashes of the red carpet, Michael candidly told us, "I couldn't possibly stand there any longer," asking director Miguel Arteta, "Weren't you finding it insanely disorienting? And they're also particularly mean for some reason." Based on the novel by C.D. Payne, 'Youth in Revolt' casts Michael as Nick Twisp, a smart, hormone-fueled 16-year-old who falls for intellectual trailer park vixen Sheeni Saunders (Portia Doubleday). Faced with rejection, he comes up with a bad boy alter ego named Francois to win her over. But will Francois land Nick behind bars before he can land the girl? Jean Smart, Steve Buscemi, Ray Liotta and Zach Galifianakis also star. "Zach's really »

Cera Stayed Silent For Meditation Retreat

5 January 2010 2:01 PM, PST | WENN | See recent WENN news »

Superbad star Michael Cera spent his Christmas holidays in silence, studying meditation at a retreat in his native Canada.

The actor returned home to visit his family in Toronto last month and decided to check himself into a relaxation centre, where guests are urged to keep their lips sealed for the duration of their stay - to better understand the meditation process.

And Cera surprised himself by managing not to speak to anyone for the full 10 days - even though one fellow guest tried to engage him in conversation.

He says, "It's really interesting. It's not as difficult as I thought it would be, not talking for 10 days.

"I would catch myself mumbling to myself. Somebody talked to me on the third day... He had to leave, he couldn't handle it."

However, Cera has yet to put the experience of meditation into practice since his return to the U.S.

He confesses, "The whole point (of the course) is that you meditate two hours a day at the end of your day... I haven't done it once. I don't have time for that!" »

Michael Cera loves his Youth in Revolt costumes – even the dresses

5 January 2010 5:03 AM, PST | Boxwish.com | See recent BoxWish news »

Dressing up in your characters’ costumes can be an unpredictable movie minefield for actors. The likes of Keira Knightley and Kate Winslet often squeeze themselves into unforgiving corsets for period romps, or for Keira on the set of The Duchess, headache-inducing wigs, and even Jude Law has spoken recently of the agonies faced by an overly-starched collar when playing Dr Watson in Sherlock Holmes. Alternatively, it can be a fun chance to update your own wardrobe, as the likes of Cameron Diaz, Christopher Walken and Jesse Eisenberg have all found, nabbing clothes to don off-set. However, for Superbad star Michael Cera that trip to the wardrobe department proved a liberating adventure, enabling him to get to grips with clothes he wouldn’t normally try on. Like dresses. »

The Reelist: Michael Cera in Revolt

5 January 2010 2:30 AM, PST | TribecaFilm.com | See recent Tribeca Film news »

Michael Cera is exploring his dark (and mustached!) side in Youth in Revolt, this week's teen comedy with a twist. In honor of the film - based on a subversive 1993 novel by C. D. Payne with quite a following - The Reelist counts down our favorite moments with the baby-faced Canadian. Though he was born in the late '80s, Michael Cera already has a lengthy and impressive resume, from Canadian kids' TV to beery summer blockbusters like Superbad. While some of us got to know and love him as the perpetually embarrassed and unfortunately named George-Michael Bluth on the short-lived series Arrested Development (which, for the moment, Hulu has luckily given immortality), Cera and his particular brand of shy and dry humor have made their mark on the movie comedy scene as part of the Judd Apatow crew. However, his new movie, Youth in Revolt, which opens Friday, January »

Michael Cera happy in dresses

5 January 2010 12:00 AM, PST | Virgin Media - Movies | See recent Virgin Media - Movies news »

Michael Cera enjoyed wearing a dress for his latest film role. The 'Superbad' actor - who plays two characters, an aspiring novelist Nick Twisp, and man of action Francois Dilinger in his latest film, 'Youth in Revolt' - said he didn't mind donning a dress for the role, because it was better than being stripped down to his boxers. He said: ''I was just relieved to have something on. I was doing a scene with just boxers on before that, so it was just nice to not have people see me as much. That's why it was so comfortable. I don't .. »
