I have a friend who I had to drag to go see Knocked Up because she was saying "Well, why didn't she just get an abortion" and so, sort of the same thing.
#MICHAEL CERA JUNO MOVIE#
It's like a movie that takes course over 9 months or so and just the whole time, not aware of what's going on and have no control over it, so that kind of, I thought that would be fun to do.Įllen Page:I was excited about this character because I felt like it was a teenage female lead that we just never seen before and although she's an incredibly unique and witty and all these things, she's also very genuine and it all felt very sincere. I didn't have any sort of control in the matter. What did you two like most about your characters? What about that character that caught your Cera:I really liked that my character's just kinda immediately less out of the equation. And it's not a lesson that I'll soon forget. I found out, that's not the way to make a decision. I thought "wow, if it's written oddly then, if it's not written like a script, it's got to be a good movie". I can remember certain paragraphs were just like broken up oddly and that kind of. It didn't look like she (screenwriter Diablo Cody) was trying to write it like a script. Michael Cera:I really liked the format of the script.

One of those things where immediately when you started reading it, you knew it was something special and then the more you read, the more it surprised you, and the more you realized it was devoid of stereotype and. How quickly upon reading the script, were you like "I want to do this Page: When I read the script it just blew mind and I fell totally in love with it and I just really wanted to be part of it.Įllen Page:Oh, how quickly?. We attended the roundtable interview with Ellen Page and Michael Cera who answered questions about their participation in the making of the film: Luckily, Juno has the total support of her parents (JK Simmons and Allison Janney) as she faces some tough decisions, flirts with adulthood and ultimately figures out where she belongs. With the help of her best friend Leah (Olivia Thirlby), Juno finds her unborn child a "perfect" set of parents: an affluent suburban couple, Mark and Vanessa (Jason Bateman and Jennifer Garner), longing to adopt. Juno stars Ellen Page as the title character, a whip-smart teen confronting an unplanned pregnancy by her classmate Bleeker (Michael Cera). The film has received much praise from many of the better-known movie reviewers. We attended the Los Angeles movie-junket for Jason Reitman's new independent drama-comedy, Juno. While Elliot Page is likely grateful for the role that pushed his career ahead, there is one scene in Juno he regrets filming.The young actors discuss their roles in the highly-praised independent film. And The Atlantic wrote that Page is "a true find - smart, poised, in control of every scene without ever dominating one." Page, who was 19 at the time of filming, received significant praise for the role, such as with The New York Times, in its review, declaring that "a good deal of the credit" goes to Page for how successful the film is.

While Page was already garnering attention for some performances prior to Juno, such as in Hard Candy and X-Men: The Last Stand, it was really this film that acted as his biggest breakthrough. Juno decides to go through with the pregnancy and gives the baby up for adoption to a married couple, Vanessa (Jennifer Garner) and Mark Loring (Jason Bateman). The coming-of-age comedy-drama follows 16-year-old Juno MacGuff ( Elliot Page) when she gets pregnant after having sex once with her friend Paulie Bleeker (Michael Cera), who has also had a crush on her for quite some time. Directed by Jason Reitman and written by Diablo Cody, Juno came out in 2007.
