Schwartzman in Pilgrim

There has been a lot of speculation on whether Jason Schwartzman is in fact starring in SCOTT PILGRIM VS. THE WORLD. It started when a press release for the upcoming Universal comedy THE ADVENTURER’S HANDBOOK was released and claimed that Schwartzman’s next film was SCOTT PILGRIM. That was quickly redacted though leading many to wonder whether it was a simple typo or accidentally leaked by Schwartzman’s reps. Additional rumors were spreading that Schwartzman was playing the secret 7th boyfriend that Scott Pilgrim must defeat before winning the heart of Ramona. Now it looks like we have confirmation.

Edgar Wright, as I’m sure you’re now aware, has been posting pics of the cast on his MySpace blog. Today’s picture is very Schwartzman-esque and shows the actor holding a sign with a question mark on it. Yet that question mark looks curiously like a “7” as in, the secret 7th boyfriend that Scott Pilgrim must defeat before…. you get the idea. PILGRIM is currently filming in Toronto and if I were you, I’d watch Mr. Wright’s blog rather closely for more missives from the set.
