We learn of a new Michael Cera comedy called Paper Hearts today. It is scheduled to appear at next years Sundance film fest and we get the following details thanks to the hilarity caves of yahoo:
Look at most movie databases, and you’ll find no mention of a new film called “Paper Hearts.” “It’s pretty much ‘the one,’ at least as far as festival programmers are concerned,” one seller said.
Those familiar with “Hearts” describe it as part documentary, part scripted comedy, centering on the real-life relationship between Cera and his girlfriend, Charlyne Yi, another member of the Apatow acting crew (she played the pigtailed stoner in “Knocked Up”). As in Cera’s recent “Nick and Nora’s Infinite Playlist,” music is a key element.
So this is an exaggerated day to day between Cera and his girlfriend… it could be good. If the chemistry between the two is humorous, I can see this being quite funny. I like the deadpan stylings of Cera and am curious to see if he will play it as straight in this film, where he plays himself.
I’m curious if he is naturally “like that” or merely plays a subdued character on the screen. In real life I bet Cera’s as cantankerous as Belushi (RIP).
International friends – what do you think about this one?
