INFINITE PLAYLIST is Before Sunrise meets Almost Famous!
Michel Cera and Kat Dennings to star in a love story that takes place between two strangers in one sleepless night in New York, talking about love and life while trying to get to a gig.
Superbad for me and for a guy who has a slightly annoying manner and voice, I think he does a nice and subtle job in getting you to feel for his characters. However, he is one of those actors like Steve Carell, if they are given a written role that doesn't suit them... boy will it become painful to watch. Or at least I think it will. I have only seen him in one flick and his role worked, so I guess I can't really say that. This role wills suit him down to the ground. Variety say Cera has signed up for a movie with the cute Kat Dennings from The 40 Year Old Virgin for the long winded Nick and Norah's Infinite Playlist from Mandate Pictures and distributed by Sony...
Based on the novel by Rachel Cohn and David Levithan, story revolves around two bridge-and-tunnel teenagers, nursing broken hearts, who fall in love during one sleepless night in New York while searching for their favorite band's unannounced show. Peter Sollett ("Raising Victor Vargas") is directing from a script by Lorene Scafaria. Mandate has scheduled production to begin late this year.Reading the enthusiastic reviews online, the book seems to deal with teen angst and the everyday problems of turning into adults mixed in with humorous talk about music and popular culture. A heavy song induced 'Cameron Crowe' like soundtrack I would expect too. Chemistry is the thing here and I think Dennings is cute enough and certainly Cera smart enough as an actor to make it work. This should be groovy.
