Cera of “Superbad” to be a “Youth in Revolt”

First off, if you haven’t seen Superbad yet, do so now. Call in sick from work, skip your Mom’s birthday, break up with your girlfriend – just f*** it all and go. It’s the best comedy of the summer by a country mile, excepting its cinematic big-brother Knocked Up.

Moving on.

Superbad‘s super-talented Michael Cera has stepped up to play the role of Nick Twisp in Youth in Revolt, a movie based on the comic-novel by C.D Payne.

Cera, who honed his brilliantly-awkward chops on The Greatest Comedy in Television History is a dead-ringer for Twisp, an intelligent, sex-obsessed 14-year old willing to go great lengths to get inside the panties of his young love (hump) interest, the wanton Sheeni Saunders. Basically, he’s your average teenager – living in the trashy desert-suburbia of NoCal.

If Superbad‘s impressive ratings are any indication of how well it does at the box-office, it looks like Youth in Revolt could very well be a success. Youth in Revolt hasn’t been assigned a director (or a release date) yet, but it seems that super-busy Judd Apatow won’t be in the running.

I can only hope that Cera submitted this audition tape to land the part. Or, at the very least, this updated one.
