SCOTT PILGRIM's Lookin' To Get Lucky On August 13th, 2010! And A Trailer Leaks To The Internet?
Beaks here...
You're read the early raves! Now... enjoy the excruciating seven-month-long wait!
A press release from Universal shot out across the land today, announcing that Edgar Wright's SCOTT PILGRIM VS. THE WORLD, based on the frighteningly brilliant comic book series by Bryan Lee O'Malley, will hit theaters on August 13th, 2010. That's just close enough to Comic Con (July 22nd - 25th) to ignite speculation that there might be an early word-of-mouth screening sometime during the big geek gathering. Not to put any pressure on Universal or anything...
For those who've yet to experience the power and the glory of O'Malley's soon-to-be-six-part tale, SCOTT PILGRIM VS. THE WORLD is an action-packed romantic comedy in which the titular character (Michael Cera) does battle with the seven evil ex-boyfriends of the lovely Ms. Ramona Flowers (Mary Elizabeth Winstead). For those who can't wait for the movie, you can buy the first five installments of O'Malley's series online, or, better yet, at your local comic book store.
Wow! Big news broke while I was writing this! Straight from Edgar Wright's Twitter...
"The 'Scott Pilgrim' trailer. Featuring all seven evil exes! Enjoy."

and first?
-
not so much
-
sorry... "reimagining"
-
BOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!
That was funny , well played Edgar Wright!!! -
Thanks to Wright's tweet, mostly likely getting fast-tracked at one of the studios this very minute.
-
Is an instant 'avoid at all costs'. I have never seen a movie with him in it. Never will.
-
...of Salinger's passing...
-
Seriously? August. Goddamn I hate the studios and their antiquated release scheduling bullshit. If the fucking movie is done, RELEASE IT!

Joe Everyman in movies turn into intraverted Apple hipsters.

bastards
-
I know which one anyone with a pair of testicles is going to see.
-
thats too bad, i'm assuming you saw arrested development and didn't like it? or did you just pull a name out of a hat?
anyways heres a link to the between two ferns bit with michael cause i think it's funny.

C'mon MaxCali He's Scott Pilgrim.. (if you didn't read the books thats not funny).... Need this trailer & Losers trailer.. plz
-
He could shit into a bucket and I'd pay $10 to look at it. Why? Because he'd do it well and I know I'd enjoy seeing it. Simple as that. I haven't seen Michael Cera enough to hate him, so I'm definitely onboard to see Scott Pilgrim. Anybody else with me?
-
is on notice.He's a poor man's Jesse Eisenberg.
-
They looked pretty fucking UNlucky to me...

I will never see any movie that was gaffed by Stephen Spurrell!!
by stovetopstuffin'
I've never seen a single movie he's gaffed and I never will! He's just not my cup o' tea.
-
You need to watch the web series 'Clark and Michael'. Its hilarious. And its not a movie so you shouldn't have a problem.
-
Did I miss it here on AICN? Just saw it on firstshowing.
-
And this early hype just smacks of hipster sheep blindly fawning over the latest trend.
-
It's actually just people who love the books. My wife didn't like the 1st one so she didn't read the rest, but I loved them. They're a lot of fun for those of us that grew up on Super Mario, Zelda, etc. I recommend checking them out.

JoBlo has the Wall Street 2 trailer also!
by ihaveseeneveryepisodeofprisonbreak
Michael Douglases hair is fantastic in in, and love the cell phone and money clip. We should see it on AICN by next Thursday. P.S. What ever happend to scriptgirl?
-
Let the geek war commence!
-
Who wants a movie about pilgrims?
-
Where's the mention?
-
...and I'll say it again. Michael Cera in the lead role could be a major detriment. I loved his work on Arrested, and Superbad was funny before it got grating due to everyone quoting it non-stop. His Michael and Clark stuff was funny too, but since then, his one trick pony routine has become painful. I think a lot of comedy actors these days are extremely one-note, which is a shame. Once you see the same role for the fifth time, it loses it's effect and the film drags. I'm worried that Scott Pilgrim will suffer from this, which could be a shame. Hope I'm proven wrong.

The Expendables had a shitty trailer, but Scott Pilgrim
by bruce of all trades
has a shitty lead and concept. This is gonna be a tough one, kids.
-
Stallone, Lundgren, Austin, Rourke, Statham, Li, Schwarzenneger, Willis, Robers, Couture, Crews, Trejo, as well as the extremely hot Charisma Carpenter. I think it wins!

Barney Ross Character info (Stallones character in Expendables)
by ihaveseeneveryepisodeofprisonbreak
Barney Ross aka The Schizo, is a veteran Expendable and leader of the team. Barney was trained in hand-to-hand and has extensive special weapons training. For Ross every mission is the last mission,... till the next mission.

That kinda put me into the not-liking-Cera crowd.

that Miramax was finally shuttered by Disney today?

derp de derp de diddly derp de dumb

cue outrage by the same crowd that has a problem with Hit Girl in 3...2...1...losers.I don't have any long standing hatred for Cera but I picked up Vol s 1 and 2 and I have to say.....he is not Scott Pilgrim. Not 1 thing about Cera and the character make any sense at all other than Cera played bass in that Nick and Nora movie. If you look at all the other casting it is spot on but I look at Cera and go....HUH?!?
-
i was expecting that after 90 seconds of this asian b-movie garbage i was actually going to get a trailer buried in there. but no such luck, so wtf?
-
Well played, sir. Well played.
Looking forward to Scott Pilgrim, and hope you show up in San Diego in July to give us some love -

Someone please explain why Scott Pilgrim is good to me.
by liesandpicturesofalsolies
I'm sure the movie will be fine because Edgar Wright is very talents but I never could get into Scott Pilgrim the comic.
-
I'm giving Cera the benefit of the doubt. We think he's a one-trick-pony because he only gets hired to do the same damn trick. He's more type casted than anything else. Scott Pilgrim, as portrayed in the comics, is anything but an introvert, and he's more of a geek than an "apple hipster" - If the movie plays him as he's written in the comics, then we're going to see a whole new side of Cera. I trust Wright's judgment.

There are only so many times that you can post phony stories, trick your users into clicking on prank videos, post links to trailers requiring "age verification", etc. before we stop using your site. There are plenty of other places we can go that don't do this shit. I come here for movie news. To be frustrated by trickery and eighth grader antics, I'll go to 4chan. Get your shit together, please. Nobody comes here for your "humor."
-
in... The Stapler!
-
cause it is a pubecent emo fantasy and your a HARD AS FUCK MAN!I may be giving you to much credit but I am assuming you have the same problem witht he books as I do. They just seem so trendy, liberal, whiny, "cool". I'm enjoying it for what it is but I can't relate to the characters at all. They are fags, girls, and homosexuals.
-
Scott Pilgrim sounds lame.
-
If you haven't figured this site out yet then you never will. Door's thattaway...

derp

I've been coming here for close to ten years, now. I've had scoops and early reviews printed on this site. I think I've got a handle on how the site works. I'll go ahead and say what I please until they ban me. Go backseat moderate somebody else.
-
niiice....nice
-
I mean, don't get me wrong, I love wacky YouTube clips, but what's the point of that exactly?
-
Where QT ripped it off from for Kill Bill?
-
Bruce Lee, is what QT was referencing:http://tinyurl.com/5acwo8
-
... in almost every fucking movie. And when he's not, he's yet another soft-spoken, faggoty whiner. Time to give this movie the old El Paso.
-
If you're giving me any credit at all for anything, it is too much.
Yeah, I don't know, seems like it is for people who think that being cool is a real personality trait. -
i'm a sucker for reading things that i know are being fast-tracked to film adaptations, and i'm between books right now so i decided to start the Pilgrim books. about halfway through the 2nd book, really enjoying it. i was hooked the second i saw that the band's name was "sex bob-omb"(bob-omb has been an occasional screen name of mine). i think the strength of the books so far is the supporting cast of characters, so i'm excited that so many solid names are attached for such parts in the film: Culkin, Webber, Evans, Schwartzman, etc. good stuff.

..Is in the "Knocked Up" DVD extras. There is a spoof where it shows different actors trying out Seth Rogen's part, and Michael Cera is one of them. He loses it with Judd Apatow and storms off.
