Michael Cera's Secret Movie
While it remains to be seen if Michael Cera will appear in the Arrested Development movie, he does star in Paper Hearts, a Sundance-bound indie comedy you've probably never heard of. I know I hadn't heard of it, but that's not really saying much. I've barely even heard of actual paper and hearts. What's a movie?
"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.
Nicholas Jasenovec, a relative unknown who has worked on past Apatow titles, makes his directing debut with the feature.
United Talent Agency — which packaged the movie and will sell it in
Park City — has been careful to limit advance word, presumably in
hopes of making a splash a la Sundance phenomenon "Napoleon Dynamite."
