Turn your speakers on. Loud.

(I realize I might be building up the Scott Pilgrim flick too much—esp. considering the largely unproven business that is Michael Cera as Scott Pilgrim—but goddamn. Everything I see for this thing makes me more excited to see it, and since this trailer is the most recent thing I’ve seen for it, that must mean it’s the most exciting, right? I don’t know; now I’m kind of confused. I think my point is, this looks like it could be fan-fucking-tastic.)

Haven’t read the books yet? DO.

  1. I am way too excited about this movie. It looks SO good and seems to have a spot on feel of the graphic novels. Michael Cera may not be perfect for the role but I’m starting to think with everything else going on in that movie that he won’t be able to ruin it.

  2. I think Cera will be perfect in the roll, just the right amount of “What just happened?” Ramona is not nearly as dreamy as she is in the books, however…

  3. What jinx said, and also what DLS 3.0 said, except sub “Kim Pine.” (though she’s barely in the trailer, to be fair.)

    but… that trailer is so cool!

  4. Why can’t the people at Universal get that this is the trailer that should be playing in theaters stateside?

    Like everyone else, this has made me that much more excited to see it and a bit less hesitant about Cera as Scott.

  5. Who cares where the trailer playing when we have the internet? The internet is a transnational barrier-breaker.

    Anyway, yeah this looks good. I wish Cera had more of a personality, but the other peoples seem exciting.

  6. @Marq Young: Yes, that was Brandon Routh–a Brandon Routh who was somehow 100 times awesomer in a single snippet of a scene than he was in the entirety of Brian Singer’s 43-hour-long Superman movie.
