More Coinky-dinkies

Last week I noted some things seem like they could be coincidences, but you're never sure.

I recently saw a trailer for Juno. It's about a teenager, impregnated by her boyfriend, who decides to give up her baby to a yuppie couple.

It occurred to me the young man is played by Michael Cera, and the yuppie man by Jason Bateman. Cera was Bateman's son in the Emmy-winning series Arrested Development. Is this a coincidence?

My guess--yes. It's not uncommon for actors to be teamed up more than once by chance. For example, just this year Nicole Kidman and Daniel Craig co-star in two films, and it's not as if they're considered a team.
