Scott Pilgrim vs. the World Trailer

Another, even more amazing trailer for Edgar Wright’s upcoming adaptation of the graphic novel in which Scott Pilgrim (Michael Cera) has to defeat the 7 exes of the girl that he loves (played by Mary Elizabeth Winstead) has hit the web today. So sure, Cera is basically playing his signature role that we’ve seen about a million times before. Except that now he’s kind of an action star. And also kind of awesome.

The cast for this film is just incredible. In addition to Cera and Winstead, it also features Jason Schwartzman, Kieran Culkin, Oscar-nominee Anna Kendrick, Chris Evans, “Parks and Recreation’s” Aubrey Plaza, Alison Pill, and Mae Whitman (Her?). So in short, everyone just needs to set aside August 13th as Scott Pilgrim Day.

"Your Highness" Pushed Back to 2011

They're on a horse!

The headline pretty much says it all; the highly-anticipated medieval stoner comedy directed by David Gordon Green (of “Pineapple Express” fame) and starring the likes of James Franco, Danny McBride, Natalie Portman, and Zooey Deschanel will now open in the spring of 2k11 instead of this October… I’m sad that I have to wait a full 6 months to see what will surely be one of the best comedies of the decade (so far). I’ve been dying to see Portman tackle a comedy ever since her SNL rap, and everything I’ve heard about “Your Highness” has been extremely positive. Oh well.
