Plot:
Nick Twisp (Michael Cera) is a cynical sex-obsessed 16-year-old who, while on vacation in a trailer park, meets Sheeni Saunders (Portia Doubleday), an intellectual. The only things really standing in his way are Sheeni's poetry-writing ex-boyfriend Trent, (Jonathan B. Wright) Nick's ignorant divorced parents (Steve Buscemi and Jean Smart), and Nick's Mom's boyfriends (Zach Galifianakis and Ray Liotta).

Rumors:
1. Exclusive: 'Youth in Revolt' Poster Premiere!
Get ready all you Twispians, because Cinematical has just received this exclusive teaser poster for Youth in Revolt, which stars Michael Cera as the ultra-angsty (and legendary) Nick Twisp and is based on one of my favorite books of all time. Ah, what can you say about Youth in Revolt? The book, written by C.D. Payne, has amassed a huge, cult-like following partly because we can all relate to being an awkward teenager who'd do anything to capture the love of that special someone, and also because it's just damn funny.
For those who haven't read the book (seriously, read it -- the thing is hilarious), Youth in Revolt follows the misadventures of a love-sick teen who stops just short of destroying the world in order to win the love of one Sheeni Saunders. Cera plays said teen, Nick Twisp, while newcomer Portia Doubleday plays Sheeni. The film also boasts a pretty impressive supporting cast, including Steve Buscemi (as Nick's seedy, trailer-trash father), Zach Galifianakis, Justin Long, Fred Willard, Ray Liotta, Jean Smart and Ari Graynor. Needless to say, I cannot wait to see this cast bring some of these wacky, ridiculous (and memorable) characters to life, and I'm sure you Revolt fans are right there with me.
Youth in Revolt hits theaters on October 30. Click the image below to view entire poster.

2. Michael Cera Freaks Out On The Set Of Youth In Revolt
Michael Cera has a history of fake, public meltdowns for fun and free advertising. So with the Christian Bale thing on everyone’s mind I guess someone involved with his new movie Youth in Revolt thought it might be funny if he did one on their set.
So here it is, Michael Cera in a robe and what appears to be a ridiculous mustache fake-berating his crew. I’m not really sure what he’s fake-mad about, but if you’ve ever wanted to see a stick figure get angry, then here’s your chance. Watch Michael Cera go fake-nuts below:
And for those who have forgotten, here’s two of his previous fake-meltdowns. The first one is set during his junketing for Superbad, and in the second one he goes nuts on the set of Knocked Up:

3. Is 'Youth in Revolt' Being Pushed Back ... Again?
Oh look, it's a comedy from The Weinstein Co. that's about to have its release date pushed back for a second time. Who woulda thunk it? Well, considering that Youth in Revolt was supposed to hit theaters in February and we still haven't received photos, a poster or a trailer, it's fairly obvious the film isn't going to make its second date after originally eying a December '08 release. Though no official word has come down yet, according to several different sources it's looking like Revolt is going for another ride through 2009 -- and if I were a betting man, I'd say it may get dumped toward the end of summer.
I briefly spoke to the film's star, Michael Cera, at a dinner party for Adventureland at Sundance, and he didn't really give any clues away as to how he felt about the finished product. All I know is that the book is one of the best (and my favorite) teen angst stories ever told, and the cast -- including Cera, Justin Long, Steve Buscemi, Ray Liotta, Jean Smart, Zach Galifianakis and Portia Doubleday -- is fairly awesome if you ask me. So what's the hold up? No idea. But it's The Weinstein Co., who, after three (four? five?) years are finally releasing the comedy Fanboys on February 6. Hopefully Youth in Revolt is testing through the roof and they want to hold it for a prime date over the summer ... but something tells me that's not the case. Anyway, fingers are totally crossed -- we'll let you know what the new date is when (or if) it's announced.
