Scott Pilgrim vs The World

[luke-o]

I thought I'd made a thread for this, but apperantly not.

Anyway - the new trailer is up and looks awesome.

Scott Pilgrim Vs. The World NEW TRAILER HD

 

[Mik]

Yeah, I still haven't gotten tired of Michael Cera so I'll definitely see this. Schwartzman and Anna Kendrick doesn't hurt either.

 

[luke-o]

I've said it once and I'll say it again, Edgar Wright can really do no wrong in this world.

 

[Youth N Asia]

I've always meant to read the comic and dug the first trailer months ago. The new trailer looks pretty damn good too. I'm in.

 

[Big Beard Booty Daddy]

I've enjoyed all of Edgar Wright's work so far, but I think I'm one of the few people that has no interest in this. The trailers don't really get me excited for the movie at all. Looks like a generic teen romantic comedy with some video game ADD thrown in.

 

[Molotov The Bear]

Read the books and you'll think otherwise.

 

[Fall of Epic]

This looks awesome. I'm a big Kieran Culkin fan.

 

[AndrewTS]

I was already sold with first trailer. I'm solder.

There's a rumor that the Ramona vs. Knives Chau (Age 17) fight is longer and more badass than in the book.

 

[OG]

This looks bad. I like Edgar Wright but this seems like the usual loser nerd gets the girl Michael Cera movie with, like someone said, fights and video game crap thrown in.

 

[vivisectvi]

I don't understand how anyone cannot see the awesomeness in this.

From what I understand, the character of Scott Pilgrim is Michael Cera to a tee.

I'd argue that the graphic novel Scott is way more often dumb-confident than Cera seems to be projecting. However, I think the rest of the casting is great.

As good as the trailer is, you've got to read the books to really get Scott Pilgrim.

I get it, Michael Cera falls in love, wants to date a chick, but has to fight off her evil ex-boyfriends in 1960's Batman style. Still don't get it. I guess it's just not my thing.

 

[vivisectvi]

It's hardly 1960's Batman style, dude. Yeah its got bells and whistles from the videogame stuff.. but the Seven Evil Ex's thing and the fighting is pretty clearly inspired by classic Kung Fu movies - ie: Five Deadly Venoms..

I was being sarcastic with that one, mainly from the "Pow" "Boom" type of cartoon balloons/characters.

 

[Mattdotcom]

When did any of that become not awesome?

 

[vivisectvi]

I wonder if he also hated Kick Ass and Zombieland?

 

[A Happy Medium]

I'm sold. Of course, I'm also an Edgar Wright fan.

 

[Big Beard Booty Daddy]

I wonder if he also hated Kick Ass and Zombieland?

Didn't see Kick Ass and I didn't like Zombieland. Outside of Woody Harrelson, I just didn't care about the characters. The girls were pretty horrible written and I was waiting for them to die, and I just couldn't get into Jesse Eisenberg's character.

 

[vivisectvi]

Of course.

 

[OG]

I loved Zombieland and enjoyed Kick Ass but Zombieland had the bonus of Woody Harrelson and Jesse Eisenberg is much less annoying than Michael Cera.

 

[Big Beard Booty Daddy]

Of course.

I'm sorry, we all have enjoy all the same movies as you do, don't we?

 

[vivisectvi]

Of course.

I'm sorry, we all have enjoy all the same movies as you do, don't we?

Hey, I'm just saying that explains it. If you didn't like Zombieland then I could see you not liking this.

 

[Big Beard Booty Daddy]

Of course.

Hey, I'm just saying that explains it. If you didn't like Zombieland then I could see you not liking this.

Fair enough.

The more I read about the more I'm curious about it. I like a lot of the cast, so maybe I'll give it a shot.

What I mean is, by reading the book you get a feel for what the world they live in is like. Watching this trailer it looks like a bizzare film with some odd moments, but if you've read the book it makes total sense.

On a side note, I can't believe he kept the "subspace" part of the book in. That would have been the first thing I cut since it's a bit bollocks.

 

[Molotov The Bear]

You take away the Subspace, you might as well take away the Seven evil exes plot too.

 

[Star Ocean 2]

Watching Michale Cera throw a punch is so wrong.

 

[2GOLD]

If it had been anyone else other than Michael Cera..dammit.
Michael has went past my Seth Rogen go away line.

Shame really, had heard good things about the story but the lead actor eliminates it.

 

[Sesquipedaliantique]

This material seems to fit the Edgar Wright aesthetic fairly well. I have no interest in reading Scott Pilgrim or any other comic book, but let's not lose sight of that.
