The New York Times has a gallery of photographs from the special episode of Saturday Night Live Michael Cera hosted during the writer’s strike. Since they are never planning to broadcast the actual episode, it’s really worth checking out.

Michael Cera is yet to appear in another film entitled “Youth In Revolt.” Cera will be playing the role of Nick Twisp, a sexually obsessed teenager trying to get by in a world full of dull adults. His mission is to lose his virginity. “Youth Revolts” story comes from a novel written by C.D. Payne. This book has become a national hit, making Arteta believe that his film adaptation will be a huge success in the box office.

Arteta has made several indie films which all seem to fit the style of this story. The movie is said to be released on December 12, 2008 so Cera fans look out for this upcoming film. It should be an exciting one!
