Is Jason Schwartzman in Scott Pilgrim?

Posted on Friday, February 13th, 2009 by Peter Sciretta

Hidden away in Variety’s story on Jonah Hill’s screenplay sale is the claim that Jason Schwartzman is in Edgar Wright’s big screen adaptation of Scott Pilgrim vs. The World. This definitely hasn’t been reported before, and is just mentioned in passing as part of Schwartzman’s upcoming film slate. Variety later pulled mention of Scott Pilgrim, so it might just be just a mistake on their part.

The Playlist’s sources claim that Schwartzman might be playing the ultimate 7th evil boyfriend, Gideon Gordon Graves. I haven’t read the final book of the Pilgrim saga, so I’m unable to comment on if Schwartzman would be the right actor for the role. But I will say that Scott Pilgrim is the perfect type of film for Schwartzman’s brand of indie-humor. We’ll update this story when more information becomes available.

  • i hope jason in the film isnt jason acting like 7th boyfriend in the movie.
  • i'm not a big fan of Schwartzman, but i'm not too familiar with the Scott Pilgrim series either. too many movies based on comics lately.
  • If he's boyfriend 7 that's a good choice

    and another thing: edgar wright is the perfect director for this film. while the pilgrim books at a glance can come off as goofy and fun, there are very serious and sad events/conversations/moments that take place throughout - exactly like wright's shawn & fuzz & spaced.

    you know a major character we haven't heard about yet? knives father. now i'm curious as all hell who they're gonna cast.

    i forgot gideon appears at the end of book 3 - though ramona's cat has the same name...how bout schwartzman for both roles???
  • All reference of Scott Pilgrim appears to have been purged from their post. Take that how you will.
  • Michael Kelley
    Schwartzman would make a compelling Gideon. The perfect rival!
  • jason B
    the final book doesn't come out until 2010. but this would be great casting for gideon.
  • Protagonist
    Despite the fact that the last book isn't out yet, you can clearly see what appears to be Gideon at the end of book three. Bears a certain resemblance to Schwartzman.
  • I was going to say there's a reason he hasn't read the final book, with it not being out. But maybe with the film gearing up it will come out earlier.
