Which movies and television shows does Michael Cera recommend? The following comes from Intervals of Awesome:
My cousin, Harvey, randomly ran into Michael Cera at a London coffeeshoppe. Cera and Harvey hit it off and ended up having a 2 hour conversation over lunch. Cera wrote a list of stuff Harvey should see. I didn’t believe this story 100% until I got a hold of the list (which is v. good and everyone should see these films/shows) As Harvey’s most media-saavy relative, I’m helping him by lending/finding these movies/shows for him. This made his London trip.

Michael Cera and Jason Schwartzman have been busy traveling the country to promote their latest film, Scott Pilgrim vs. The World, which hits theaters later this week. But it doesn’t seem to be the typical press tour filled with canned short snippet interviews. In Atlanta, Cera and Schwartzman took over for the local weatherman, and during a junket interview for Metacafe, an unexpected guest interrupts the interview - Zach Galifianakis. Watch both videos now embedded after the jump.

Despite critical and audience acclaim coming out of the surprise screening at Comic-Con, we’ve heard that some people still don’t want to see Edgar Wright‘s Scott Pilgrim vs. The World. Not because it doesn’t look good, but because audiences have grown tired of Michael Cera (but yet, they don’t mind that Bill Murray plays the same character in almost every film). Cera’s face is even missing from the the film’s posters, as Pilgrim is jamming out with his head down. Many have wondered if this was a calculated move by Universal Pictures, or if it is just a coincidence. /Film reader ????????????? ? has found a new television spot marketed towards mainstream audiences that has us convinced it was definitely a calculated decision. Watch this new television spot after the jump.

A few weeks ago I got news of a pretty cool little project: as part of the promotional efforts for Scott Pilgrim vs the World, Universal approached [adult swim] about making something related to the film. The idea concocted by the folks at the network was to animate a piece of one of Bryan Lee O’Malley‘s graphic novels that didn’t end up in Edgar Wright‘s movie.
Universal, Wright and O’Malley all got behind the idea, and the result is a four-minute animated short that illustrates the beginning of the friendship between Scott Pilgrim and Kim Pine. I got a look at the nearly-completed short during Comic Con, and now we can show you a clip from the finished project.

Universal Pictures has released a new featurette for Edgar Wright‘s Scott Pilgrim vs. The World. Based on the comic book series written by Bryan Lee O’Malley, Scott Pilgrim tells the story of a charming and jobless 22-year-old who must defeat his new girlfriend’s seven evil ex-boyfriends in order to win her heart. The new two and a half minute featurette focuses on the fantastical comic book world of the movie, and the film’s crazy hybrid storyline. Watch it now embedded after the jump.

We’ve seen a teaser and a full trailer for Scott Pilgrim vs. The World, Edgar Wright‘s adaptation of the graphic novel series by Bryan Lee O’Malley. Now there’s an international trailer that sells the tale of Scott Pilgrim (Michael Cera) a bass player and sorta-slacker who falls for Ramona Flowers (Mary-Elizabeth Winstead) but must defeat her seven evil exes before they can truly be together. Lots of new footage in this one, including a good look at Brandon Routh. Read More »
Edgar Wright premiered the first clip from Scott Pilgrim vs. The World during the MTV Movie Awards Pre-Show. The sequence features a battle between Scott (Michael Cera) and one of his girlfriend Ramona’s evil exes, Lucas Lee (Chris Evans) a Hollywood movie star and professional skateboarder.
What most impresses me about this clip is the fight choreography near the end — it almost feels like one continuous shot (even though obviously it’s quite a few) with Cera seamlessly performing all the moves. It’s refreshing to see a fight be shot like this in the Michael Bay-era of three cuts every five seconds. Watch the clip now, embedded after the jump.

Universal Pictures has released the first full-length movie trailer for Edgar Wright‘s upcoming action-comedy Scott Pilgrim vs. The World. Based on the comic book series written by Bryan Lee O’Malley, Pilgrim tells the story of a charming and jobless 22-year-old who must defeat his new girlfriend’s seven evil ex-boyfriends in order to win her heart. The new trailer will be attached to Get Him To The Greek, but has been put online once the Scott Pilgrim facebook page reached 100,000 fans (which happened at 1:30am on Monday morning).
The new trailer is pretty awesome, and has me even more excited about the film than the initial teaser. The only thing I didn’t like was the lame “it’s on like Donkey Kong” tagline which I’m sure was the “genius” idea of the Universal’s marketing team. Watch the trailer now embedded after the jump.
