Edgar Wright + Michael Cera = Scott Pilgrim Movie

WOW! A Scott Pilgrim movie! I never knew about it! And even better: it's being done by Edgar Wright!

For all of you out there who don't know this fellow, he is the mind behind Shaun of the Dead and last years hit Hot Fuzz. This unique talent is also the guy behind the Marvel Comics movie adaptation of Ant Man due for production as well. I have no fear that Edgar is going to take the concept of "Scott Pilgrim Volume 1: Scott Pilgrim's Precious Little Life", and make it something amazing, something worthy what Bryan Lee O'Malley's work.

The story itself finds the main character, Scott, meeting the woman of his dreams, however the only way to win her is to battle and defeat her 7 evil ex-boyfriends! Wacky, hey!?




The actor they got to play the title role is none other than Arrested Development star, Michael Cera. For those who have never seen that show, he has also had a leading role in Superbad and a supporting role in Juno.

Apparently he's some sort of phenomenon, because for some reason lots of people like him.

I honestly can't see him as doing this role justice. Maybe it's the lack of emotion in his acting style.

Regardless, he's been chosen to fill the role, and I'm assuming that Mr. O'Malley approves, therefore I digress. Cheers to this movie's success!
