Kat Dennings on "Nick & Norah"

-"How has it been to work with Michael Cera?

-KD: Oh God, he's the cutest thing in the universe. We're about to go do some reshoots and I'm so excited I feel like I'm going to Disneyland. When we shot the film it all takes place at night so it was all night shoots. We'd get up at 3 in the afternoon, go to set and by the time we got out of the make-up trailer it was dusk and we'd work through until the sun started to rise.

It was like the most fun camp ever. You're with your friends and you're having so much fun and you're just roaming New York. It was amazing and I made some really good friends there. Ari Graynor, this girl who plays my best friend Caroline in the movie, has become one of my very best friends in the world so we get to go back and play best friends again except this time we are best friends! It's going to be so much fun, I can't wait.

For those unfamiliar can you tell us what it's all about?-KD: It's based on a book by Rachel Cohn and David Levithan and it's been embraced by all sorts of people, not just teenagers. It's not overtly teenager-y. Teenagers don't say 'like' a lot -- well, I do, but most don't, and they don't talk in quips and aren't typically dumb. The male author wrote the Nick's chapters and the female author wrote the Norah's chapters.

Every chapter alternates between their points of view and it's their takes on the same scenes. It was really an interesting thing to shoot and I think it really turned out well. I haven't seen the whole thing yet, but bits I have seen have made me want to see it when it's finished!-How does that work in the film, the way it alternates between the two?

-KD: We tried it with narration from me and Michael and I don't know whether that'll stay in the final film, but the creators and the authors are very involved in this so it's going to do it justice. They're trying to figure out the best way, in terms of making it comprehensible to the audience; how best to tell this between the two of them. I think it's going to be visual, I don't know if they're going to use the voiceovers, so I think you're going to see the scenes from Norah's point of view and then from Nick's or visa-versa".

Cera in The Facebook Movie?

"The Facebook Movie has a very unofficial casting call — Yesterday, top Hollywood screenwriter Aaron Sorkin let it be known he was working on a movie about the high-flying social network. Here’s a (rather entertaining) formulation of which actor might play which geek role. Yes, Michael Cera (a co-star in Juno) would be Facebook founder Mark Zuckerberg".

"With a working title of Face Off, the plot concerns Facebook founder Mark Zuckerberg's soured relationship with early Facebook executive Eduardo Saverin, who appears to have been in close contact with Mezrich for the book, while they were both undergraduates at Harvard. The proposal described Zuckerberg and Saverin getting caught up in Silicon Valley excess, partying like celebrities all over the world, until a showdown between them turned ugly.

Sources close to Zuckerberg's Harvard days have indicated to CNET News that the scant detail available in the book proposal is of questionable veracity; one went so far as to say the content contained "some real bull****." At the time, it wasn't even clear that the book proposal was legitimate, since neither Mezrich nor his publisher, Doubleday, are willing to confirm it, but sources who spoke to 02138 seem to indicate that it's a done deal.

02138 has occasionally faced off with Facebook: last year, the magazine published a scathing piece about Zuckerberg that exposed extensive personal details about the young founder's life, leading to a brief legal spat.

In other news, readers of gossip blog Valleywag seem to agree that Mark Zuckerberg should be played onscreen by Arrested Development star Michael Cera".

Feels like Jake if you concentrate

"I hit the Kitten on Wednesday, and I've been having such fun with my new non-toxic vibrator, which looks like a giant rubber Twizzler and feels like Jake Gyllenhaal if you really concentrate. (I kid.) Everything that's been written 'bout the Kitten is right on: the place looks like a clean, airy upscale boutique and the merchandise is artfully displayed. I especially liked the strap-on harnesses gracing the wall as nonchalantly as the Super-Flex-Ipex-Teflon-Kevlar bras at Victoria's Secret".

Pilgrim updated

"If ever there was a pairing to hipster fan-boys everywhere; it is Michael Cera and Edgar Wright. Think about it, Cera made a name for himself being the awkward hero, and who can write an unlikely hero better than the man who helped write the Blood and Ice Cream trilogy? In an interview with Wizard Universe, Wright got the chance to update the status of his indie-comic feature, Scott Pilgrim vs. the World (if you have also been waiting with bated breath for news on his Ant Man adaptation, there are a few tidbits to be had as well). So if you were worried that Pilgrim would fall by the wayside in the light of some of Wright's other projects, fear not, all is well in Pilgrim-land.

The original series was about a young Canadian and wannabe-rock star who falls for an American girl with the memorable name of Ramona V. Flowers (aka, the perfect girl). But in order to win the lady fair, our slacker must defeat her seven evil ex-boyfriends in hopes of winning a date with his dream girl. Cera plays Pilgrim, the bassist for the terribly titled band, Sex Bob-Omb, and Mary Elizabeth Winstead will star as Ramona. Wright isn't counting on making any more sequels the film as the comic was originally a 6-part series. Instead, Wright told Wizard that, "The script that we've written essentially covers all six. If it was at the level of Harry Potter we might be able to talk about doing six films but in this case our film is very much an adaptation of the entire six."Wright tells Wizard, "We're hopefully going into production later this year. We've been doing a lot of work on it in a conception level and getting into casting and crew and stuff." Wright and company have been making the rounds in Toronto scouting locations for the flick. But it probably makes Wright's job a lot easier considering most of the locals in the comic were based on actual locations (not to mention; it will be fun to see my hometown on-screen without The Hulk ruining the view).

Scott Pilgrim vs. the World is expected to start filming later this fall, and should arrive in theaters in 2009".

"Nick & Norah's Infinite Playlist" HQ stills

The Noticing song

"The way you’re singing in your sleep.The way you look before you leap.The strange illusions that you keep. You don’t know But I’m noticing.The way your touch turns into arcs.The way you slide into the dark.The beating of my open heart.You don’t know But I’m noticing".

"March Eighteenth" -provisional title of the noticing song Nick wrote in
"Nick & Norah's Infinite Playlist".

Angelic baby faces

"Ellen Page has this amazing face. There’s something about her expression that looks hurt but hopeful at the same time. Her exchange with Vanessa at the mall, and later with her dad, just break your heart.Michael Cera is good too. Something about the way he’s lit in this movie makes him look like some sort of angel in jogging shorts".

RDJ and Tina Fey - Master Mind

"I can hardly think of an actorly pairing that would get my geekiness a tingling as much as Robert Downey, Jr. and Tina Fey. That's just maybe two of my five favorite people right now (and keep in mind that I'm on that list somewhere too). Lucky for me, Hollywood is still using high frequency radio waves to tap into my thoughts and a Robert Downey, Jr./Tina Fey pairing is in the works. RDJ and Fey are in talks to voice the lead characters in the upcoming DreamWorks animated film MASTER MIND. The film would follow a supervillain (Downey, Jr.) who lapses into an existential crisis after he accidentally kills his arch nemesis. It's unclear what character Fey would be voicing at this point. The movie would reunite RDJ with his TROPIC THUNDER pal Ben Stiller, who's producing the movie for DWA. DreamWorks currently has MASTER MIND set for a fall 2010 release and the film is being prepped in 3-D".
Extra Tidbit: Downey, Jr.'s son is a huge fan of "Family Guy" so RDJ recorded a character for an episode in 2006".

Facebook Movie

"Aaron Sorkin, a man whose discomfort with the Internet goes way, way back to the days he got angry at the Television Without Pity message boards, is writing a movie about the founding of Facebook. Sorkin has created a Facebook group for "Aaron Sorkin & the Facebook Movie" on which Sorkin (or is it his assistant?) (or is it someone pretending to be his assistant?) writes:

I've just agreed to write a movie for Sony and producer Scott Rudin about how Facebook was invented. I figured a good first step in my preparation would be finding out what Facebook is, so I've started this page. (Actually it was started by my researcher, Ian Reichbach, because my grandmother has more Internet savvy than I do and she's been dead for 33 years.)

Facebook Sorkin seems pretty legit: He's answering questions about his life and work, posting photos of himself playing tennis, cracking Sorkin-y jokes. But is it real? Over on the message boards, a collection of journalists are leaving plaintive requests for someone, anyone, official to contact them.

But in an e-mail to Vulture, producer (and former Vulture boss) Scott Rudin has confirmed that this is indeed Sorkin, and that Sorkin is indeed writing a Facebook movie for Sony.

What on earth will Sorkin's Facebook movie be like? We guess we're glad he's learning what Facebook is before he writes it, although we're sad he'll never know the glory that was Scrabulous. And how will the master of guys walking down hallways and talking write scenes of guys IMing each other for hours?"

"Sex Drive" Trailer



"Time for some red band action (boom-chicka-wah-wah) from the upcoming teen sex comedy, Sex Drive. Also check out two exclusive stills featuring Seth Green as an Amish mechanic and James Marsden in the strangest role of his career to date!

In the grand tradition of '80s road comedy The Sure Thing and all things National Lampoon, Sex Drive tells the tale of one horny teenager named Ian (Josh Zuckerman) who, desperate to lose his virginity before college classes begin, embarks on an interstate quest to meet the girl of his dreams -- the sexy, mysterious Ms. Tasty, whom he met over the Internet. Along for the ride are his friend-who's-a-girl, Felicia (Amanda Crew) and his BFF, Lance (Clark Duke), but hot on his trail is his mean-tempered older brother (James Marsden), who really wants his prized vintage Pontiac GTO back. We've also got two exclusive stills from the film right here, featuring Lance (Clark Duke) and his Amish homie Ezekial (Seth Green), and a closer look at hyper-masculine meathead Rex (James Marsden, in a fearless, driven performance).
