Nov 26 2008Learn What Most Popular Movie Databases Have Yet To!
Do you like semi-secrets? Because the Hollywood Reporter has one, and it's pretty good if you're interested in new Michael Cera-starring comedies that are attracting "buzz":
Look at most movie databases, and you'll find no mention of a new film called "Paper Hearts."But talk to indie film insiders and the unconventional comedy, which stars Michael Cera and boasts other credits from Judd Apatow's talent stable, and you'll quickly realize how high expectations are running for this semi-secret project that's expected to debut at next year's Sundance Film Festival.
Those familiar with "Hearts" describe it as part-documentary, part-scripted comedy about 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").
God, they're right about most movie databases not containing mention of Paper Hearts. I checked IMDb... and all of the other movie databases, and none of those numerous movie databases had any mention of this movie. IMDb and the other movie databases, who I'll leave nameless to avoid embarrassing them, really need to step up their game.
Anyway, let's drop this "semi-secret" crap, Hollywood Reporter. Give us a real secret: who do you LIKE?

If Judd Apatow is involved it must be a masterpiece of film.

Charlyne Yi is funny. She's also 32 and Cera's 20. Yowza.

How did they find out?
What a shame. I've always maintained a low profile on this project just to appear the indiest of most indie films. Cheap and crappy! That's the formula.

Kind of always thought that movies were not supposed to be kept secret - in order for more people to know about them and spend money to watch them they usually like to get publicity (good or bad).
Silly me, I just don't understand the movie business.

I'll be more impressed with Cera when he doesn't play a socially awkward yet lovable teenager with quirks and confidence issues.
That said, I'm a fan of Superbad and Arrested Development, but seriously...this kid's portfolio is as diverse as Reginald VelJohnson's.
