Breaking Baz @ Cannes: ‘Barbie’s Michael Cera Brings Holiday Cheer To Cannes & Has Two Feature Movies In Development To Direct


Michael Cera caught Tyler Taormina’s Ham on Rye and became a producing “cheerleader” on Taormina's latest movie Christmas Eve in Miller’s Point.

He was so impressed that he signed himself up as a sort of producing “cheerleader” on the filmmaker’s latest picture Christmas Eve in Miller’s Point, which plays in Directors’ Fortnight on Thursday at the Cannes Film Festival. Cera’s quick to point out that Krista Minto, co-writer Eric Berger and others did the heavy-lifting producer duties on the picture that’s almost like a fly-on-the-wall exploration of a sprawling Long Island family’s holiday get-together. He works on the schedule himself for a year leading up to this few weeks-long shoot and kind of secures locations based on good-will and sort of explaining to people that we don’t have any money.”
