Cera and Edgar!

I recently got a chance to sit down with Michael Cera for an extended interview (the details of which much remain frustratingly secret for the time being) and he hinted at a project he had lined up that he was extremely excited about but couldn’t talk about just yet. That project would be SCOTT PILGRIM’S LITTLE LIFE where Cera will team with writer/director Edgar Wright. Cera will star in the film as the titular Scott Pilgrim who must dispatch seven evil ex-boyfriends before winning the heart of the girl of his dreams. The film is based on Bryan Lee O’Malley’s graphic novel with Wright penning the script with Michael Bacall. Cera and Wright have long been fans of each others work and worked together briefly on this viral video for SUPERBAD. Cera is currently wrapping up YEAR ONE with Jack Black and would then segue to YOUTH IN REVOLT for Miguel Arteta. Universal is looking to get filming on SCOTT PILGRIM started this fall. OK, now that all the news reporting is out of the way, can we just take a minute to geek out over the pairing of Michael Cera and Edgar Wright? This is gonna be good….
