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.
Another black comedy coming from the strange, strange minds of the Coen brothers. I'd only heard about this a little previous to watching the trailer, and it didn't interest me. Upon actually seeing the trailer at the theater, however, I totally jumped on board. I really am easily swayed by a good preview.
