Michael Cera and Charlyne Yi’s ‘Paper Heart’ Trailer
Posted by PJ in Films, Previews, Random, The Yellow Stereo, Videos
Once again, I admit to being a complete sucker for this type of thing. The following trailer for Charlyne Yi’s Paper Heart, a faux documentary directed by Nicholas Jasenovec that follows Yi on her journey to figure out why she doesn’t believe in love. In between seems to be a fictionalized love story between her and Michael Cera, who are actually a couple in real life. It also seems to be loaded with cameos from just the trailer alone, as we see appearances from the likes of Demetri Martin, Martin Starr and Seth Rogen. Apparently, the film screened at Sundance to mixed reviews, with some describing it as the “holocaust of Twee,” which just sounds awesome to me.
Paper Heart is set for a limited release on August 10th, which for most of us means we’ll have to wait for it on DVD. I have to admit though, I have felt a little bit of over-exposure with Michael Cera lately. But with this and Scott Pilgrim (which is currently filming as we speak), he seems to at least be picking the kind of films that I’m interested in.

Very cool! That looks totally cute. My husband and I sorta “auditioned” for this movie! They were looking for people who had gotten married on world of warcraft (lame, I know. his idea. I don’t play, just got a character so we could be “wed”). They came and shot an interview w/ us (“they” being one of the producers and her assistant… not Michael and Charlyne) but I guess we didn’t seem to be in love enough
Interesting about how they change it around to make the movie about Michael and Charlyne’s relationship. I wonder if that was the plan originally, as it really didn’t seem like it, based on how it was explained to us. Anyway, I can’t wait to see it!
That’s awesome! Did they tell you it wasn’t going to make the film? Because you never know, might be on the DVD extras or something (which is still awesome). I wouldn’t be embarrassed about World of Warcraft; I’ve had an active account for a couple of years now
this is adorable.
It is! I’m pretty sure between this and “500 Days of Summer” that my heart will explode.
PJ, they didn’t say… they acted like we’d hear back from them again but we just never did. I played a love song for them that I had written my hubby, hee hee.
Saw 500 Days of Summer last night. Had some pretty cool parts and I liked how it was put together, but the ending left me meh. And that’s a LOT of ZOOEY. If you’re a fan you’ll probably dig it though.
