A movie adaptation of the hit indie comic series Scott Pilgrim, directed by Edgar Wright (Shaun of the Dead, Hot Fuzz) and starring Michael Cera as Scott, Mary Elizabeth Winstead as Ramona Flowers, and Jason Schwartzman (yessss) as Gideon Gordon Graves. The movie is set to release in 2010.
Synopsis for those who have never heard of SP (copy/pasted from IMDB):
"Everything is totally sweet.
Scott Pilgrim's life is so awesome. He's 23 years old, in a rock band, "between jobs," and dating a cute high school girl. Everything's fantastic until a seriously mind-blowing, dangerously fashionable, roller blading delivery girl named Ramona Flowers starts cruising through his dreams and sailing by him at parties. But the path to Ms. Flowers isn't covered in rose petals. Ramona's seven evil exes stand between Scott and true happiness. Can Scott beat the bad guys and get the girl without turning his precious little life upside-down?"
michael cera, i swear to you, if you mess this up, i will hunt you down. i will find you and make you wish you had never gotten type-casted as the "cute and innocent nerd" character. i will hurt you in more ways than you could have ever imagined possible. i will make sure you never have a pleasant thought for as long as you live.
god help you if you mess this up, michael cera. god help you.
But Edgar Wright and Jason Schwartzman give me hope, so maybe things will be okay. Maybe.
It's not Michael Cera's fault he's been typecasted, I blame Filmmakers....
ReplyDeleteI still like him...I think you should be nicer to him, James...He seems nice. Though, I admit, he doesn't seem right for this role...
But This movie seems pretty awesome, & I love Mary Elizabeth Winstead, so I'll be checking it out.
nice guy, sure, but i really would've liked it if someone else could've been cast as the main character. i feel like he won't be able to pull off the cool part of Scott.
ReplyDeleteeveryone else seems to fit, though. like i said, i'm able to keep a bit of faith with edgar wright directing, but...i think i'm just tired of cera at this point.
I would have cast Tom Bosely
ReplyDeletei agree with james, i'm kinda sick of michael cera's vioce
ReplyDeletei agree with you too, james... i'm kinda sick of michael cera's face
ReplyDeleteIt feels like Cera won't be able to pull off a fight scene without it looking incredibly lame. The image of his spaghetti arms flailing about doesn't exactly strike me as badass.
