OK, maybe not. But I think he will be awesome in Youth In Revolt. How could he not be, when his character has an alter-ego named François, whom he creates so that he can impress his Francophile-crush Sheeni and, in a clip on David Letterman, Michael’s character takes off his clothes, dumps them into a car and pushes the car into a lake so that the police will think he drowned – only to see the car land in a knee-deep pond, with the police looking up at him running away in his boxers! Must-see, I say! Oh, I hope they won’t cancel the show in Malaysia (like they did Amelia, the gall!). So far it's not listed on GSC's website, but From Paris With Love is! Sigh...See a review of Youth In Revolt here.
Michael Cera as French-dude François.
Youth In Revolt is based on the novel Youth In Revolt: The Journeys of Nick Twisp by C.D. Payne and stars Michael Cera (from TV’s Arrested Development), Jean Smart, Zach Galifianakis and Portia Doubleday, with brief appearances by Justin Long, Steve Buscemi, Ray Liotta and Fred Willard. Adapted for screenplay by Gustin Nash, directed by Miguel Arteta.
Hmm, think the following French phrase of the day could be from the movie?
Elle a un regard malicieux. = She has a mischievous look in her eyes.
Thanks to www.francophilia.com for today’s phrase.
