What!?
March 19, 2008
Michael Cera is set to star in the feature version of “Scott Pilgrim’s Little Life.”
Little Life will detail some of Scott Pilgrim’s most tumultuous weeks: playing inept indie rock, avoiding finding work, and meeting the girl of his dreams and learning he’ll have to destroy her ex-boyfriends in mortal fisticuffs if he wants to hook up with her. (link)
WHAT? I knew they were making this into a movie, and a director (Edgar Wright) was already attached, but Michael Cera?
I dunno how I feel about this. I guess he’s the perfect actor for an amazing role, and congrats to Brian Lee O’Malley for getting a huge cool non-sellout name attached to his comic book. Cera isn’t TOO cute, but I honestly think Scott Pilgrim’s character is far, far, far away from the usual George Michael Bluth role that he tends to bring in everything. Seriously. Michael Cera is cute when he acts confused or shy or lost, but Scott Pilgrim is full of confidence in his own shallowness, stupidity and overall amazing-ness. And hotness. Yes, I can have a crush on a comic book character. Shut up.
*sigh* I guess the movie is really being made. Something about this makes me sad, because it means that the books are no longer all mine mine mine. They never were, because they were popular to begin with, but you know what I’m saying. I’m also glad this news also made the front page of the Hollywood Reporter.
Haha, I totally said WHAT?! aloud when I read this in the paper at my desk. I think the lady who’s temporarily sitting in the office behind me thinks I’m weird.
