SCOTT PILGRIM might have finally found his Ramona!

Published at:  May 16, 2008 8:36:17 PM CDT

Ahoy, squirts! Quint here. Looks like Edgar Wright has found his leading lady for SCOTT PILGRIM in GRINDHOUSE cutie Mary Elizabeth Winstead.





I didn't care much for her in FINAL DESTINATION 3, but I liked the dopey innocence she brought to GRINDHOUSE. She's definitely pretty and can be spunky, which is what Ramona needs. And she looks like the human version of Bryan Lee O'Malley's manga-ish art.





She will be pined after by Michael Cera in the title role. Can't wait to see her in that cute little hair cut and the rollerskates! What do you folks think?

    Quint is like the Costanza Opposite Episode

    by steve trevor

    At least for me. I hated Speed Racer and love Mary Elizabeth Winstead. Just do the opposite or think the opposite of what Quint does and you will be fine.

    My purpose in that goofy post

    by mavra chang

    Y'all got to have your Megan Fox mutual masturbation society party. Can't we have a few minutes of a topical talkback? How about: Hey, Quint, any word about casting of the evil exes? That sort of thing, then on to the usual yammer. This sort of thing ruined the ScriptGirl talkback. BTW, the one posting was a fake. The real ScriptGirl wrote to me. She was late to the board because she was with an ill friend. Everything had already exploded by then. It's a shame. Could have been a pretty good discussion. OK. Preaching's over. Have a good night.

    Hope I'm proven wrong but this just is way, way off casting. Sorry. Love Winstead (Sky High!)but just not for Ramona. Ramona would be like early Winona Ryder to me...but with acting talent.

    She had a great name in that flick: "Gwen Grayson." Clearly the writers had fun with that... and why exactly haven't they (Robert Schooley & Mark McCorkle) been given a proper comic movie project yet? They obviously know what they're doing...

    Good choice, Cera is still wrong though

    by lex romero

    He's too young and a bit too deers in headlight for Scott, I mean Scott can be stupid, but it's a different kind. Watch Robert Downey Jr. in kiss kiss bang bang then imagine him 20 years younger and he'd be perfect.


    Any ideas how they're gonna cram all 7 exs into one film?

    Lets take over the talk back with Lebowski quotes in celebration of the best handle ever "Shut the fuck up Donny." Quint went out and achieved anyway, despite the loss of his legs which some Chinaman took from him in Korea.

    Good stuff. I too love the Winstead. And as far as FD3 goes, it probably didn't help any of the actors if the rumors are true in that they were hired within two weeks of principal shooting.

    by jlouis

    ...but I can see her as Ramona in other pic's.

    Michael Cera is not right for Scott Pilgrim (unless he can actually act). He's played the same character in everything so far, and that character is not Scott Pilgrim.

    yeah his artwork for the female characters was difficult to tell apart. Kim was easy enough becsause of the freckles. But it got really confusing with Lisa in the fourth book, they all looked alike.

    Well I'm more interested in who will play the parts of Knives and Wallace.

    They already have made a big blunder choosing Cera as Pilgrim. However, I will be hopeful that he can pull it off.
