FILM: Michael Cera cast in "Youth in Revolt"


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?
