This was a strange casting choice
>>219495208I feel like Wright was taking the piss by casting Cera and Puta but it didn't work to sabotage the rest of the movie because everyone else was likeable and good in their roles and actually tried.
>>219495208who would have been a better pick?
>>219495525Zac Efron
Cera was genuinely popular at the time, it was just a couple of years after Super bad.
>>219495208Cera is what made the movie enjoyable. Scott from the comic is a non-character and only used as a self-insert medium for the reader
>>219495525Eisenberg had this the same year. What if they'd switched roles?
>>219495537too cool and confident and squeaky clean. someone in the exact middle ground between them would be ideal
>>219495247MEW was perfect casting though
>>219495671Dave Franco
>>219495208Cera was the reason the movie got made. He commissioned the script and took it yo Wright.
>>219496072I can see that
this shit movie ruined an entire generation
>>219495208Everyone but Scott himself was perfectly cast. Total tragedy of a movie that could/should have been part of the 2000's youth canon along with the likes of Napoleon Dynamite and Juno. It's hard to believe that multiple girls aren't over dating this guy
>>219495208The character is a losers self-insert so it is peak casting choice because most of those people would think they are cooler than Cera.
>>219495525As somebody said, Jessie Eisenberg would have been a better choice.But honestly, my pick would have been Shia.Scott is not a wimp, he's a selfish dipshit (albeit out of cluelessness rather than malice) and Cera completely lacks that edge.Which sucks because the rest of the casting is fucking perfect, except for the MC
>>219495525>>219495537>>219495670>>219495671>>219497535I always thought Logan Lerman (OG Percy Jackson) would have been perfect casting.
>>219497801He wouldn't have even been 18 yet when they were shooting.
Choose
>>219495537I don't think it's a coincidence they cast someone who grew up just outside of Toronto to be in a movie set in Toronto. I have not looked at that movie's credits, but I wouldn't be surprised if it received tax credits, with some hinging on hiring "locals."
>>219498075Knives is the only one that doesn’t think she’s too cool for you. She’s the only option.
>>219498075Knives or Kim all the other are for the trash
>>219497189>Napoleon Dynamite and Juno. Both shit.
>>219498075I pine for Kim.
>>219495208>So I cast Michael Cera, which was the style at the time.
>>219498075Insane how hot I found Brie Larson doing that song given how Brie Larson has ended up a phariah for people.
>>219495525Hayden Christiansen
>>219497189Nobody has watched Juno and enjoyed it since at least 2009. It's shit.
