Michael Cera has been cast in C.D. Payne's comedic novel Youth in Revolt. He'll play Nick Twisp, "a smart, sexually obsessed teen living in a world of moronic adults." "While his trailer trash parents teeter on the edge of divorce, 14-year-old Nick sets his sights on dream girl Sheeni Saunders, hoping that she'll be the one to take away his virginity." It sounds like a intellectual Superbad minus the sidekicks. Apparently the novel is a cult hit that has sequels, was turned into a play, and has numerous Web site tributes. I can't wait to see who's going to play the object of his desire. I pick Amanda Seyfried (Mamma Mia!). She's sweet, seductive, and totally out of his league. Plus, she's been in Mean Girls, "Veronica Mars," "Big Love," and is starring in Diablo Cody' s Jennifer's Body soon. So she's got good range for the part. Who's your pick?
