Did Edgar Wright find his SCOTT PILGRIM?

Ahoy, squirts! Quint here. Edgar Wright has long been attached to bring comic book SCOTT PILGRIM'S PRECIOUS LITTLE LIFE to the big screen.



Now it looks like he's found his Scott Pilgrim.

It's funny... when I interviewed the three leads of SUPERBAD they had all three just been to my favorite comic book store, Austin Books and Comics, and had a ton of comics around the hotel room. In those stacks were many volumes of Scott Pilgrim.

I was under the impression they were Jonah Hill's as it was his suite we did the interview in, but I'm wondering now if Michael Cera knew he was up for the role and was reading up... or maybe he had read them and had recommended them to Hill... or maybe it was just a complete coincidence.

Whatever the case, Cera is now in final negotiations to star in the film, about a young man who finds his dream girl, but has to fight and defeat her 7 ex-boyfriends before he can win her heart.

Cera and Wright... two great tastes that'll taste great together, I think. I'm glad to see Cera get a leading role. It's well deserved. What do you folks think?
