Michael Cera Making Directorial Debut With Comedy ‘Love Is Not the Answer’ Starring Pamela Anderson, Steve Coogan, Jamie Dornan and Fred Hechinger


Cera's feature directorial debut 'Love is Not the Answer' will also star Jamie Dornan and Fred Hechinger

The actor — best known for roles in “Barbie,” “Superbad,” “Scott Pilgrim vs the World,” and “Arrested Development” — is set to direct “Love is Not the Answer,” with Pamela Anderson(“The Last Showgirl”), Steve Coogan(“Philomena”), Fred Hechinger (“Gladiator 2”) and Jamie Dornan(“Belfast”) lined up to star. The plot of the film is being kept under wraps, but it’s described as a “precise yet unpredictable, absurdist comedy that moves between hilarity and heartbreak as it explores modern loneliness and the search for connection.” Cera himself should be in Cannes attending for Wes Anderson’s typically star-heavy competition entry “The Phoenician Scheme,” part of an ensemble cast that also includes Benicio del Toro, Mia Threapleton, Riz Ahmed, Tom Hanks, Bryan Cranston, Scarlett Johansson and Benedict Cumberbatch.
