“You must be bad, Nickie.
Be very, very bad.”
-Sheeni Saunders
YOUTH IN REVOLT is a coming-of-age comedy that puts a fresh and outrageous stamp
on a tale of adolescent obsession and rebellion. Starring Michael Cera (also of the Oscar®
winning film, Juno, and Superbad) and based on the acclaimed novel by C.D. Payne, YOUTH IN
REVOLT is the story of Nick Twisp – a unique, but affable teen with a taste for the finer things
in life like Sinatra and Fellini – who falls hopelessly in love with the beautiful, free-spirited
Sheeni Saunders (Portia Doubleday) while on a family vacation. But family, geography and
jealous ex-lovers conspire to keep these two apart. With Sheeni’s encouragement, Nick abandons
his dull, predictable life and develops a rebellious alter ego: Francois. With his ascot, his
moustache and his cigarette, Francois will stop at nothing to be with Sheeni, and leads Nick
Twisp on a path of destruction with unpredictable and uproarious consequences.

"I told her I wasn't mentally ill; I was just a teenager.
-Nick Twisp
C.D. Payne’s “Youth In Revolt: The Journals of Nick Twisp,” and its subsequent
installments “Revolting Youth: The Further Journals of Nick Twisp,” and “Young and
Revolting: The Continental Journals of Nick Twisp” have amassed a devoted, loyal fan base
since the first novel’s debut in 1993. Payne’s readers identified with the unique yet relatable
coming of age of Nick Twisp.

Producer David Permut loved the book’s iconic, irreverent main character and the
unusual world in which he lived. “Nick is an intellectual and knowledgeable well beyond his
years. He’s like an alien on a distant planet populated by with his mother, his father, his stepdad
and this eclectic group of people. His quest is to find the key to the door to get out of this
environment.”
Screenwriter Gustin Nash had a similar enthusiasm for Payne’s books and for the
character of Nick Twisp, saying, “My parents were divorced when I was young, so I immediately
sympathized with Nick being passed back and forth between his parents. I was also attracted to
the very simple Odyssey type story-line. A boy meets a girl on vacation and spends the rest of
the story trying to get back to her.”
“The issue can no longer be ignored: I’m still a virgin.
To be
honest, I have never even kissed a woman to whom I was not
related by blood or marriage.”
-Nick Twisp
The script won the approval of the writer of its source material. “It’s such a long book
that they have to distill it down fairly radically,” Payne says. “That part is a little painful for the
author, but I think it has captured the essence of the book and the characters.”
Permut sent the script to Miguel Arteta, director of THE GOOD GIRL and CHUCK
AND BUCK. Permut had been searching for the right collaboration since the director made his
debut with STAR MAPS. Arteta explains: “David had pursued me since STAR MAPS. He
brought me in in 1997 and said ‘I want to work with you.’ For eleven years he has been trying to
find things for us to do.” The collaboration was ultimately worth the wait for both producer and
director.
The format of both the book and screenplay presented Arteta and the cast with unusual
challenges. “It’s a picaresque novel,” Arteta explains. “It’s a series of adventures, with new
characters coming in every ten minutes. That’s hard to do in film. We needed people who were
great to pull it off.”
Arteta’s wishes came true with an enviable cast that includes Jean Smart, Steve Buscemi,
Mary Kay Place, M. Emmet Walsh, Zach Galifianakis, Fred Willard, Ray Liotta, Justin Long,
4
Ari Graynor, and Jonathan B. Wright. “We were blessed with amazing actors who were able to
make an unusual structure work.”
First “attached” to the film was rabid Payne fan Michael Cera, who had long desired to
play Nick Twisp. Cera was on board from the project’s infancy, long before SUPERBAD and
JUNO hit theaters. (Michael was a crazy fan of the book,” Arteta says of his lead. “It was the
one book he read that doesn’t condescend to teenagers.”) Cera comments on the book’s
universality: “I was around the age of the main character when I read it, and I completely related
to it. Anyone who was ever a teenager could relate to it, especially if you had a romantic interest
that somehow drove you crazy.”
“Do all women scream at the moment of ecstasy?
Why don’t they
have 800 numbers where teens can call up with questions like
these?”
-Nick Twisp
Cera explains the reasons for his character’s malaise. “Nick doesn’t have a great home
life. His parents are divorced. His mother has an idiot boyfriend and his life is stagnant. He
meets this girl who blows his mind and he feels that he has to hang onto her.”
Cera relished the opportunity to portray Nick’s alter ego, Francois. “The idea to flesh out
his naughtiness into a French version of himself was wonderful,” Arteta says. “We have an
amazing costume designer, Nancy Steiner, and makeup artist, Roz Music. Michael, Roz, Nancy
and I thought we shouldn’t push things too hard. Michael had the great idea to not go for an
obvious French accent. He managed to avoid every cliché by doing that. We looked at French
new wave movies for his hair. Roz had the idea of putting five o’clock shadow and stubble on
him to look tired. Nancy had the idea for the tight white pants and blue shirt.”
The elusive object of Nick’s burgeoning desire is Sheeni Saunders, portrayed by relative
newcomer Portia Doubleday. “I think that there’s an attraction to him because he’s like her, and
I think that he can somewhat figure her out, and can speak her language,” Doubleday says. “I
think that when he comes in and can actually hold a conversation with her, she’s kind of taken
aback.”

Even Cera found that he could relate to the complex, mysterious Sheeni: “You never
know she feels about you, or what she’s really thinking. She’s such a puzzle. That’s really what
I loved about the character. She’s so well-depicted in the book. I just could really relate to that
torment,” Cera explains.
Mary Kay Place, who plays Mrs. Saunders, Sheeni’s mother, found that Doubleday was
perfectly cast in a role that needed to be treated delicately: “She has innocence and purity
combined with an old soul. It’s a fascinating combination. I think it’s really nice for the
character of Sheeni because she could be a little too manipulative and conniving as a character. I
think the kind of purity that is the essence of Portia is a really nice balance for that.”
“Are there no bounds to parental sadism?”
-Nick Twisp
Jean Smart was suggested for the role of Estelle Twisp by fan Michael Cera. Smart
reciprocates by noting that YOUTH IN REVOLT had all of the elements that make for an
outstanding creative experience: “Sometimes you do a movie it’s because you just have to play
‘that part.’ Sometimes you think, ‘Oh the part’s okay but I’m dying to work with that director.’
Other times you think, ‘It’s a nice project but I really want to work with that actor.’ Sometimes
having a great cast begets a greater cast. The more great people you have the more you attract.
We have everything in this one.”
“I think she loves her son, but it’s not very apparent,” Smart says of her character.
“Unfortunately, what’s most important to her is having a man around to take care of her. She’s a
divorced single mom and she can’t be without a guy. Having a son who’s a teenager doesn’t
help.”
Steve Buscemi plays Nick’s father, George Twisp. “He is one of the greatest character
actors. It was such a treat,” Arteta says. “I liked that Jean Smart and Steve Buscemi created
Michael Cera.”
Estelle first entangles herself in a doomed romance with Jerry, portrayed by THE
HANGOVER’S Zach Galifianakis. “Jerry’s a truck driver. He doesn’t have a lot of regard for
Nick. He’s pretty happy-go-lucky.” Galifianakis says.
6
Galifianakis was eager to work with Cera: “Michael is really subtle. It’s nice to see a
young actor not play it so over-the-top. I think that’s what’s extraordinary about him.”
Estelle ultimately lands in the arms of Lance, portrayed by Ray Liotta. “SOMETHING
WILD really inspired me to make movies,” Arteta says of one of Liotta’s most celebrated
performances. “I thought he could really play someone who would make Nick’s life so terrible.”
“I’m not saying one’s parents should not have sex lives.
would be unfair.
That
I’m merely proposing those people not have sex
lives once their children reach the age of reason.
Later, when
their offspring leave home, they can pick up where they left
off.”
-Nick Twisp
Mary Kay Place portrays Sheeni’s overprotective mother, Mrs. Saunders. “I’ve been a
fan of Mary Kay Place since I was a boy in Puerto Rico watching ‘Mary Hartman, Mary
Hartman,” which I couldn’t understand at all but was fascinated by,” Arteta enthuses.
YOUTH IN REVOLT is Fred Willard’s second collaboration with Miguel Arteta.
Willard first appeared in the director’s student film for the American Film Institute. Arteta was
ecstatic to work with Willard again on this film: “There are only a few lines, but the character
has such a huge presence.”
Jonathan B. Wright and Ari Graynor, who both appeared in NICK AND NORA’S
INFINITE PLAYLIST, were suggested for Trent and Lacey by their NICK AND NORA co-star,
Michael Cera. Arteta adds: “They knocked their auditions out of the park. They fit the bill of
the movie that is trying to do something unique.”
Wright portrays Trent, Nick’s “arch nemesis,” though the actor notes that his role as the
film’s antagonist is ironic. “The funny thing is that Trent really never does anything that bad,
whereas Nick does a whole bunch of awful things throughout the whole movie, but we’re rooting
for him the whole time,” Wright explains.
Wright found the script to be a fresh and original take on young love. “Compared to
other teen movies the script is so much more advanced, complex and compelling. It’s fantastical
7
and realistic at the same time. Miguel and Michael and this amazing ensemble of actors that got
together for this, I think it’s something special. I’m proud to be a part of it,” Wright says.
Justin Long joined the production to portray Paul Saunders, Sheeni’s brother, who enjoys
serving psychedelic mushrooms to his friends and family. “I think Justin is one of the funniest
quickest guys. He has such amazing verbal ability. He can spit fire dialogue and you totally
understand it. He is almost like a throwback to a screwball comedy of the 40s,” Arteta says.
M. Emmet Walsh, whom Arteta had admired since seeing BLOOD SIMPLE, and Erik
Knudsen round out the cast as Mr. Saunders and Lefty, respectively.

Arteta and the production transformed rural Michigan into their Northern California.
Production designer Tony Fanning worked with Arteta to locate pockets of Michigan that could
double for the Golden State. “We would try and find homes that look like they’re in California,
the environment. A lot of the foliage is close. We were lucky when we came to Michigan that
we found areas that look like they would be along the shoreline in Ukiah, and we searched most
of the state for Berkeley and Oakland.”
Also contributing to YOUTH IN REVOLT’s authenticity is its favor of existing locations
over built sets. This posed quite a difficulty for the production when they sought out a home that
would allow a car to be placed in their living room. Fanning explains: “You would think that
you’d want to build a set to be able to do that. Miguel wanted to follow the characters from the
car outside into the house, and to be with them when they had the reaction to seeing the vehicle.
We decided to try to go for it on location, and finding that house was a major feat. We saw
probably over thirty-five houses until we finally found somebody who was willing to let us put a
car in their living room.”
The solution proved a win-win for both the filmmakers and the homeowners. “We
actually got the owners to agree to let us take out part of the wall. They thought it was kind of a
fun idea, and we’re really kind of into it. We agreed to open up their wall and replace it with
glass doors when we restored the house.”
The Saunders home also offered Fanning an opportunity to push creative boundaries.
Inspiration can come from unlikely places, and Fanning and Arteta found it while location
8
scouting at an RV Park. “The owners were this wonderful couple. The husband had purchased
an organ for his wife, and they basically installed a full organ in their double-wide trailer like a
cathedral organ,” Fanning says. “I thought that was a fantastic thing for someone to do. It was
such a great idea that we put an organ in the double-wide that we built for the Saunders house.
They have a bit of a religious background. It’s written to be a two-story trailer, which doesn’t
really exist. There are one-and-a-half story trailers from the late-60s but very few were
manufactured. We took those ideas and came up with a two-story trailer that we did on location.
It was quite fun to do.”
Costume Designer Nancy Steiner worked with Arteta, cinematographer Chuy Chavez and
Fanning to create costumes that defined the diverse cast but melded with the overall palate of the
film. “We wanted it to be classic in a way, and to be not so time-specific. You’ll notice there
are no cell phones in the movie. We’re trying to just keep it in a classic form, and I tried to do
that with the costumes. Tonally it’s not very bright. It’s a mix of medium tones, and interesting
tones of color.”
Throughout the film, different types of animation complement the story. Peter Sluszka
was enlisted to weave these animated sequences into the world of YOUTH IN REVOLT. “It’s
essentially Nick Twisp’s personal diary. With that kind of narrative structure, you’re always
seeing things from a narrator’s point-of-view. It was a natural way in which this kid viewed and
kind of framed his world, and imagined the things that he was talking about. It’s more truthful to
the character’s psyche, and the way he imagines things, and the fact that you can’t always trust
exactly what a narrator says either.”
“There were elements of the book that would have been more difficult to conceive as
live-action,” Permut says. “The animation became another component of the movie that I think
sets it aside. It’s one of those things that elevates it, makes it distinctive, different, original, and
fresh. The movie is told from Nick’s point-of-view, so the animation is what goes in the head of
Nick Twisp. I think audiences today are looking for things that are provocative, distinctive,
unique.”
What ultimately unifies YOUTH IN REVOLT is the film’s rumination on young love.
“The idea was to try and show what it’s like to be in love for the first time and all of the crazy
things you want to do for the first time when you get that feeling.”
9
Nick is the quintessential outsider,” Permut adds. “But he is the kind of character we can
all relate to because we all can feel like outsiders. You want to root for him in his dilemma. He
creates a bit of havoc and damage along the way, but ultimately it’s for a noble cause.”

M. Emmet Walsh (Mr. Saunders): M. Emmet Walsh defines himself as “a working actor.”
With talent spanning both the comedy and drama arenas, Walsh has over 100 feature films and
over one hundred-fifty television credits to his name.
Current films include: DON MCKAY (with Thomas Haden-Church) was accepted to the
Tribeca Film Festival and the USA Film Festival in Dallas. The film’s first time director Jake
Goldberg wrote the role for Walsh. Just completed is “Sam Steele and the Junior Detective
Agency” starring with Luke Perry for Tom Whitus.
Walsh starred as newspaper editor, ‘Randall Evans’ in HBO’s comedy series, “The Mind
of the Married Man.” This show took a funny, insightful look at the challenges of modern-day
marriage from a decidedly male perspective. Last year he did a pilot for and with William H.
Macy called “Family Man” for TNT.
“M” stands for Michael -- which he was not allowed to use when he joined his first
theatrical union. He was named after his mother's father, Michael Francis Sullivan, and her
favorite brother, Emmet, who was named after the Irish patriot, Robert Emmet. He goes ballistic
when 'Emmet' is misspelled. His father and grandfather were U.S. Customs officers on the
Canadian Border, and his brother recently retired from his post there, with U.S. Immigration.
Walsh spent his childhood in Swanton, Vermont and still maintains a home there on Lake
Champlain. After receiving a Bachelor's Degree in Business Administration from Clarkson
College, with a major in Marketing, he moved to New York City and graduated from the
Academy of Dramatic Arts.
His first job in professional theater was at Buck's County Playhouse, Pennsylvania, as a
prop man. The following summers found him performing stock throughout New England. He
also did regional theater seasons in Buffalo, New Haven, Philadelphia, Cincinnati and
Washington D.C., and has been an artist in residence at colleges in Kentucky, Vermont and
14
Oklahoma. Numerous off-Broadway productions eventually led to Broadway and runs in “That
Championship Season” and “Does The Tiger Wear a Necktie?”
In 1999 he starred in “Sweet Bird of Youth,” by Tennessee Williams at the La Jolla
Playhouse; in 2000; “All My Sons,” by Arthur Miller at the Arena Stage in Washington, D.C.; in
2007 he was delighted to star with Christine Lahti in The Geffen Playhouse’s presentation of
Wendy Wasserstein’s last play “Third.”
Walsh made his on-screen debut in END OF THE ROAD. Other late 1960's films
include; ALICE’S RESTAURANT, THE TRAVELING EXECUTIONER, COLD TURKEY
and THEY MIGHT BE GIANTS. He moved west to California in 1970 with WHAT’S UP
DOC? and AIRPORT ’77 helping to establish him as a working actor in Hollywood.
His films attest to a Yankee work ethic; “I approach each job thinking it might be my last,
so it had better be the best work possible.” Walsh, the premier character actor, has worked with
the best actors of our time. He appeared with Dustin Hoffman in STRAIGHT TIME, Paul
Newman in SLAPSHOT, Geraldine Page in THE POPE OF GREENWICH VILLAGE, Harrison
Ford in BLADE RUNNER, Chuck Norris in MISSING IN ACTION, Goldie Hawn in
WILDCATS, Denzel Washington in THE MIGHTY QUINN, and Gene Hackman, NARROW
MARGIN. For his role in the Coen Brothers’ feature BLOOD SIMPLE, he was given the first
Independent Feature Projects West “Spirit Award” for Best Performance by an Actor. He also
received critical praise for his performance in CLEAN AND SOBER as a straight-talking
Alcoholics Anonymous veteran sponsor who befriends a chemically dependent Michael Keaton.
After an appearance in BRUBAKER, Robert Redford brought him back to play Timothy
Hutton's swimming coach in ORDINARY PEOPLE and again as the Governor of New Mexico
in THE MILAGRO BEANFIELD WAR.
Walsh was featured as Joe O’Neal, father of the groom, (Dermot Mulroney) in the
comedy hit film, MY BEST FRIEND’S WEDDING with Julia Roberts, “The Apothecary” in
WILLIAM SHAKESPEARE’S ROMEO AND JULIET, with Leonardo DiCaprio and Clare
Danes, and a cameo (quite a legal witness) as ‘Dr. Bass,’ in A TIME TO KILL.
He starred in THE MAN IN THE CHAIR with Christopher Plummer, a film festival
favorite, ”Walt Disney Pictures’ live-action comedy adventure SNOW DOGS with Cuba
Gooding Jr. and James Coburn and WILD WILD WEST with Will Smith, Kevin Kline and
Kenneth Branagh. Other films include; THE JERK, HARRY AND THE HENDERSONS,
15
GLASS SHIELD, FLETCH, BACK TO SCHOOL, BLACK PANTHER, FREE WILLY II, THE
KILLING JAR, PORTRAITS OF INNOCENCE, GOODBYE SUNRISE, and POOR WHITE
TRASH.
Walsh provided the voice of ‘Earl Stutz,’ in the sleeper hit animation feature, THE IRON
GIANT and has voiced character of ‘Mack’ in the television cartoon series, BIG GUY AND
RUSTY THE ROBOT. He was also heard on two series produced by Ken Burns for PBS,
“Baseball” and “The Civil War.”
Zach Galifianakis (Jerry): After failing his last college course by one point at North Carolina
State University, Zach Galifianakis moved to New York City. Zach got his start performing his
brand of humor in the back of a hamburger joint in Times Square, graduating to doing stand-up
at night in clubs and coffee houses in the city. While working as a bus boy, he got his first acting
job on a sitcom called BOSTON COMMON for NBC. An eclectic career has followed. He has
been seen as a guest and performing on a number of late night talk shows including “Letterman,”
“Conan” and “Jimmy Kimmel.”
Zach broke out across America and the world in this summer’s blockbuster hit THE
HANGOVER. From director Todd Phillips and Warner Bros., THE HANGOVER became the
quickest and highest grossing R-rated comedy of all time. He can next be seen this fall starring in
the HBO comedy BORED TO DEATH with Jason Schwartzman and Ted Danson. Last year he
finished filming several independent features including LITTLE FISH STRANGE POND, and
ROGUES GALLERY. He can next be seen in G-FORCE for Jerry Bruckheimer and Disney
Studios and was last seen in the Fox feature WHAT HAPPENS IN VEGAS opposite Cameron
Diaz and Ashton Kutcher, as well as the critically acclaimed INTO THE WILD from Paramount
Vantage and director Sean Penn. His other films include, VISIONEERS, HEARTBREAKERS,
BUBBLE BOY, BELOW, CORKY ROMANO, OUT COLD and the documentary THE
COMEDIANS OF COMEDY.
Zach has also just completed his pilot for Comedy Central entitled SPEED FREAKS. He
was a series regular playing “Davis” on TRU CALLING for Fox. Zach hosted his own critically
acclaimed talk show for VH1 entitled LATE WORLD WITH ZACH, as well as writing and
starring in DOG BITES MAN for Comedy Central. He has appeared in numerous other shows
including THE SARAH SILVERMAN SHOW and had recurred on RENO 911.
16
When not filming, Zach travels the country doing stand up in rock clubs, coffee houses
and universities. He lives in Venice Beach, California and also spends part of his time on his
farm in the mountains of North Carolina.
Ray Liotta (Lance Wescott): Ray Liotta recently wrapped shooting on the 20th Century Fox
comedy DATE NIGHT starring opposite Steve Carell and Tina Fey, and earlier in the year
Liotta starred in Warner Brothers’ OBSERVE AND REPORT opposite Seth Rogan, an
outrageous dark comedy which follows the conflicted lives of mall cops and real-detectives.
Liotta was recently seen in the drama CROSSING OVER opposite Harrison Ford that
dealt with the complex and often corrupt immigration system and before that in the box office
hit, WILD HOGS, as the bad-boy leader of a biker gang.
Liotta started his career with a Golden Globe-nominated performance in Jonathan
Demme's SOMETHING WILD. Consistently receiving offers for tough guy roles, Liotta waited
for something more unique. In DOMINIC AND EUGENE, he portrayed a medical student
caring for his mentally challenged brother. He followed up with his portrayal of soul-searching
Shoeless Joe Jackson in the Oscar-nominated FIELD OF DREAMS.
Perhaps the film that brought Liotta his most widespread acclaim was Martin Scorsese's
GOODFELLAS, in which he played opposite Robert De Niro and Joe Pesci. His performance as
the tortured half-Sicilian, half-Irish Henry Hill helped the film earn a Best Picture Academy
Award nomination and solidified Liotta's status with critics and the public alike.
With more than 25 feature films to his credit, Liotta has chosen diverse roles, whether
comedies such as CORRINA, CORRINA and HEARTBREAKERS or thrillers like SMOKIN'
ACES, HANNIBAL, UNLAWFUL ENTRY and NO ESCAPE. He made his debut as a
producer with Joe Carnahan's NARC, which premiered at the 2002 Sundance Film Festival.
Liotta was nominated for an IFP Award for Best Actor for his performance in NARC. Other
notable film credits with cutting edge directors include, Ted Demme's BLOW, Nick Cassavettes'
JOHN Q, James Mangold's COPLAND, and also, IDENTITY, and Guy Ritchie's REVOLVER.

About The Filmmakers
Miguel Arteta (Director): Director Miguel Arteta was last in theaters with THE GOOD GIRL,
starring Jennifer Aniston and Jake Gyllenhaal. THE GOOD GIRL was nominated for four
Independent Spirit Awards and honored by the National Board of Review for “Special
Excellence in Filmmaking.”
Arteta was honored the 2001 Independent Spirit Award for Best Feature (under
$500,000) for the highly acclaimed CHUCK & BUCK which first teamed Arteta with THE
GOOD GIRL writer Mike White. Starring White, CHUCK & BUCK premiered at the Sundance
Film Festival, where Arteta came to prominence in 1997 with his feature debut STAR MAPS.
Lauded by critics and audiences alike, STAR MAPS was released by Fox Searchlight Pictures
and garnered five Independent Spirit Award nominations, including Best First Feature and Best
First Screenplay.
Arteta made his network television debut directing an episode of “Homicide: Life on the
Street” and has since directed episodes of “Ugly Betty,” “The Office,” “Freaks and Geeks,” “Six
Feet Under” and the ABC pilot “Elizabeth Street,” which was produced by Martin Scorsese and
Barbara De Fina.
After graduating from Wesleyan University, Arteta received an MFA from American
Film Institute in 1993. His musical EVERY DAY IS A BEAUTIFUL DAY premiered at the
Berlin Film Festival and was nominated for a Student Academy Award in 1990. He attended the
1996 Sundance Institute Writer’s Lab to work on “Ball and Chain,” a script he co-wrote with
Ron Nyswaner (PHILADELPHIA). Arteta returned to Sundance in 2005 with his short “Are
You The Favorite Person Of Anybody,” written by Miranda July and starring July, Mike White
and John C. Reilly.
Arteta is currently in pre-production on CEDAR RAPIDS, which will star Ed Helms.
Gustin Nash (Writer): Gustin Nash grew up in Massachusetts until he moved to Los Angeles to
go to USC School of Cinema-Television. After graduating, he took a job selling cameras in the
Burbank mall until he wrote CHARLIE BARTLETT (Released 2008), which he brought to
producer David Permut as a sample to adapt YOUTH IN REVOLT. Since then Gustin has
22
worked on a number of other projects for Universal, Fox, Paramount, Dreamworks and New
Line.
Gustin Nash is 32 and lives in Los Angeles with his dog Albert.
David Permut (Producer): David Permut is well-known for his ability to conceive and
recognize original high-concept projects. His production of RICHARD PRYOR: LIVE IN
CONCERT was the first theatrical live comedy-concert and is the most successful of its kind. In
1987, it was Permut’s hit comedy DRAGNET, starring Dan Aykroyd and Tom Hanks, which
spawned the idea of remaking television classics into major motion pictures. Permut’s countless
other credits include THE MARRYING MAN written by Neil Simon, CAPTAIN RON starring
Kurt Russell, EDDIE starring Whoopi Goldberg, DOUBLE TAKE starring Orlando Jones and
Eddie Griffin, and DYSFUNKTIONAL FAMILY also starring Griffin. In addition, Permut
conceived the idea behind of the hit comedy spoof FARCE OF THE PENGUINS with writer and
director Bob Saget. FARCE was narrated by Samuel L. Jackson and had voiceovers by some of
biggest names in comedy. Other acclaimed credits from Permut include CHARLIE BARTLETT
starring Robert Downey Jr. and Anton Yelchin, BLIND DATE directed by Blake Edwards and
starring Kim Basinger and Bruce Willis - in his big-screen debut - and the Jon Woo blockbuster
FACE/OFF starring John Travolta and Nicolas Cage. David was nominated for a 2009 Emmy
Award when his cable film PRAYERS FOR BOBBY was nominated for Best Made for TV
Movie.
Permut’s work carries to the small screen, having produced a number of prestigious
television programs. These include MISTRESS for CBS, LOVE LEADS THE WAY for
ABC/Disney and SOME KIND OF LOVE, also for CBS. Permut also produced the critically
acclaimed PRAYERS FOR BOBBY, starring Sigourney Weaver and directed by Russell
Mulcahy, for Lifetime Television Network. PRAYERS FOR BOBBY is based on the praised
book of the same name and tells the true story of Mary Griffith, a mother who changes her ways
after her gay son commits suicide because of her religious convictions. PRAYERS FOR
BOBBY was nominated for two 2009 Emmy awards, one for Sigourney Weaver for Best Actress
and the other for Best Made for TV Movie.
Permut recently finished post-production on YOUTH IN REVOLT, which he is
producing with Dimension Films, and stars Michael Cera (SUPERBAD, JUNO) along with an
23
all star cast that includes Steve Buscemi, Ray Liotta, Jean Smart, Justin Long, Fred Willard,
Mary Kay Place and M. Emmet Walsh. YOUTH IN REVOLT is based on the classic cult-novel
by C.D. Payne, and its story follows hormone-driven teenager Nick Twist through his
misadventures to be with the girl of his dreams.
Released this year by Disney was the documentary THE BOYS: THE SHERMAN
BROTHERS STORY which Permut produced with Ben Stiller and Red Hour Films. The
documentary takes a personal, never before scene look into the lives’ and careers’ of legendary
singer/songwriters Richard and Robert Sherman (“It’s A Small World After All”, “Chitty Chitty
Bang Bang” and all the songs in MARY POPPINS). The film was directed by the Sherman
brothers sons’ Gregory and Jeff Sherman.
Permut’s eclectic development slate is virtually with every major studio in Hollywood.
This includes NAKED set up with Gold Circle Films and Universal; CHIPPENDALES which is
in development with Tony Scott and tells the true story of the rise and fall of Steve Banerjee,
founding father of the infamous female entertainment club; and A MATTER OF SIZE set up
with Dimension Films based on the hit Israeli film of the same name; among others.
In addition, David is in development on number of true stories including THE C.O.,
being produced with Bill Mechanic and written by Pulitzer Prize winning writer Robert
Schenkkan (THE PACIFIC), based on unlikely hero Desmond Doss, a WWII solider who
refused to bear arms and was awarded the Congressional Medal of Honor for bravery;
BROTHER SAM, a biopic about controversial comedian Sam Kinison being produced in
association with Tom Shadyac (BRUCE ALMIGHTY); A LIFE IN THE DAY written by Tony
Gittelson about the epic, yet tragic, life of The Beatles first manager Brian Epstein. Also, Permut
is developing a feature film on the life of infamous auto executive John Z. De Lorean, and a film
about little known 1960s civil rights leader Bayard Rustin.
David, as well, is developing a one-man-show based on the life of President Ronald
Reagan. The play is being written by CSI head-writer David Rambo and to be directed by Tony
Award winning director Peter H. Hunt.
David Permut is the president of his production company Permut Presentations, Inc. with
offices in Los Angeles, CA.
