Known as Paulie Bleeker in Juno, Nick Twisp in Youth in Revolt and Scott Pilgrim in Scott Pilgrim vs. the World, for two decades plus, we’ve had minimalist deadpan delivery and anxious naturalism in Michael Cera cinema with notable turns in films by Sebastián Silva and Ruben Fleischer. Cera now moves behind the camera for his directorial debut. Here is everything we know so far (American Indie Edition) for … Michael Cera‘s Love Is Not The Answer.
Casting announcement was first made back in May of last year with production set for November moving into December back in Ottawa, Canada.
Written by Michael Cera, this is about an aging actress (Anderson) who balances a new movie role, her needy son, romantic possibilities, and past regrets in this absurdist comedy about isolation and human bonds.
Pamela Anderson, Steve Coogan, Jamie Dornan, Lucas Hedges, Julia Best Warner and Shirley Henderson topline the ensemble.
Cinematographer here is handled by legend Hélène Louvart, and the Production Designer is Meredith Lippincott. 2am’s Christine D’Souza Gelb, David Hinojosa and Kevin Rowe produce along with Nick Gordon, Peter Niehoff, Julia Oh, Carter Stanton, Jomon Thomas and Cera.
The acquisition title might be gunning for a TIFF premiere this fall on home soil, or wait until Sundance – the first edition in Colorado – a fitting new chapter to the fest for an actor who had been there several times over. mk2 Films are handling international rights and 2am and CAA Media Finance will oversee North America.
