Get ready all you Twispians, because Cinematical has just received this exclusive teaser poster for Youth in Revolt, which stars Michael Cera as the ultra-angsty (and legendary) Nick Twisp and is based on one of my favorite books of all time. Ah, what can you say about Youth in Revolt? The book, written by C.D. Payne, has amassed a huge, cult-like following partly because we can all relate to being an awkward teenager who'd do anything to capture the love of that special someone, and also because it's just damn funny.
For those who haven't read the book (seriously, read it -- the thing is hilarious), Youth in Revolt follows the misadventures of a love-sick teen who stops just short of destroying the world in order to win the love of one Sheeni Saunders. Cera plays said teen, Nick Twisp, while newcomer Portia Doubleday plays Sheeni. The film also boasts a pretty impressive supporting cast, including Steve Buscemi (as Nick's seedy, trailer-trash father), Zach Galifianakis, Justin Long, Fred Willard, Ray Liotta, Jean Smart and Ari Graynor. Needless to say, I cannot wait to see this cast bring some of these wacky, ridiculous (and memorable) characters to life, and I'm sure you Revolt fans are right there with me.
Youth in Revolt hits theaters on October 30. Click the image below to view entire poster.

I'm a huge fan of this book and am nearing completion of reading the 3rd novel in the series at the moment. Any news about this film is great news. Not sure if I'm crazy about the poster but it could be stick figures and I'd still go see it.

i agree. Michael Cera is just boring and wimpish and he can't really act because he just does everything on a monotistic note

AHHHH. That book is a total rip off of the Diary of Adrian Mole. I always thought the author wrote it thinking "I'm gonna rip off Adrian Mole, but in a way that will make Hollywood snatch it up for a screenplay!" I'm surprised it took this long. That said, I could not stop reading it.

Southern Food, Cocktails and Louisiana Films
(New Orleans, LA) July 30, 2009 - When it comes to good times, and good timing, you can count on entrepreneur Jeffrey Pipes Guice to be at the right place at the right time with the right concept.
With Louisiana Governor Bobby Jindal recently signing House Bill 898 into law, raising the film production tax credit for the state from 25 to 30 percent and eliminating the planned reduction of the tax credit program, Guice realized that Governor Jindal was serious in his economic development efforts.
According to Governor Jindal, the signing of HB 898 will “[ensure] that we not only have the ability to remain economically competitive, but that we can continue to move our state forward by making Louisiana the greatest place in the world to find a great paying job and raise a family.”
Considering the Governor’s excitement around the film industry, Guice started to look into ways that he could get involved. He quickly realized that there was a 100-year history of film making that already existed in Louisiana.
“I started to look at all of Louisiana’s cultural treasures like food, music, the invention of the American cocktail and Mardi Gras, when I quickly realized that there was a rich history of film making in Louisiana,” says Guice. “I did some research and found out that there have been over 400 films and television shows produced in Louisiana. I felt there was a need for a Louisiana Film Museum and I started reaching out to my friends and family about the idea. No one could believe that there was such a rich and wonderful history of Louisiana film making and that there wasn’t already a museum,” Guice added.
Guice continued, “So I started putting together a collection of Louisiana movie posters, black & white and color photographs, and a few props and costumes. I now have over 250 items in my collection and I’m ready to share it.”
The next thing Guice had to do was find a location, which led him to Liz Williams, president of the Southern Food & Beverage Museum.
Williams and Guice quickly agreed that Southern food, beverages and films were all a part of their Southern way of life and proud cultural history.
“There is often a link between the food of Louisiana and the movies of Louisiana; the food used to reflect place and identity,” says Williams. “As we explore all of the aspects of food and drink, working together with the Louisiana Film Museum to explore the use of food in movies seems a natural cultural exploration.”
The Louisiana Film Museum will open to the general public in early-September, as a part of the Southern Food & Beverage Museum, which is also the home of Museum of the American Cocktail, located at the Riverwalk, One Poydras Street, in New Orleans.
