New Edgar Wright Movie to Star Michael Cera

Looks like the film adaptation of the comic book for Scott Pilgrim’s Little Life might be coming earlier than originally expected. Edgar Wright (director and co-writer for Hot Fuzz, Shaun of the Dead) who is already working on a screen adaptation of another comic book movie Ant Man, has been slated to direct the movie for a while now, and he seems to have found his Scott Pilgrim: Michael Cera.

Here’s an excerpt from Rotten Tomatoes:

Little Life will detail some of Scott Pilgrim’s most tumultuous weeks: playing inept indie rock, avoiding finding work, and meeting the girl of his dreams and learning he’ll have to destroy her ex-boyfriends in mortal fisticuffs if he wants to hook up with her. This may all sound like a variation on a typical Cera role, but check out The Vulture for convincing reasoning why playing Scott Pilgrim is actually a significant step forward for his hipster doofus act.

Despite knowing literally nothing about the Scott Pilgrim comic books, I think it’s pretty fair to get extremely excited about a movie that will feature the talents of both Edgar Wright and Michael Cera.

Also good to see that Wright isn’t too concerned with the problems Cera had with Judd Apatow…

No, that wasn’t real, moron.
