The red-band trailer for YOUTH IN REVOLT is online, via Funnyordie. It’s more of an extended version of the previous trailer but with more NSFW lines. You can watch it using the media player below and after that is a vibrant video of Cera and Doubleday in California this weekend after a coast-to-coast five city tour where they visited with enthusiastic fans of YOUTH IN REVOLT at college campuses in Boston, Philadelphia, Chicago, Seattle and finally at U.C. Berkeley near San Francisco. This adaptation opens January 8th, 2010 but you can catch the sneak preview on January 2nd, so mark your calendar. Watch both videos after the jump…
“Youth in Revolt” is a coming-of-age comedy that puts a fresh and outrageous stamp on a tale of adolescent obsession and rebellion. Starring Michael Cera (also of the Oscar® winning film, “Juno,” and “Superbad”) and based on the acclaimed novel by C.D. Payne, “Youth in Revolt” is the story of Nick Twisp – a unique, but affable teen with a taste for the finer things in life like Sinatra and Fellini – who falls hopelessly in love with the beautiful, free-spirited Sheeni Saunders (Portia Doubleday) while on a family vacation. But family, geography and jealous ex-lovers conspire to keep these two apart. With Sheeni’s encouragement, Nick abandons his dull, predictable life and develops a rebellious alter ego: Francois. With his ascot, his moustache and his cigarette, Francois will stop at nothing to be with Sheeni, and leads Nick Twisp on a path of destruction with unpredictable and uproarious consequences.
YOUTH IN REVOLT opens January 8th, 2010
