Scott Pilgrim Vs The World Trailer
May 31st
After Hot Fuzz and Shaun of the Dead, Edgar Wright found his way into my ever shortening list of ‘Directors who’s films I will automatically go and see.’ From the trailer this looks like it’s going to be incredible, the teaser trailer was awesome but this trailer just blows that one away!
Meet charming and jobless Scott Pilgrim (Michael Cera). A bass guitarist for totally average garage band Sex Bob-omb, the 22-year-old has just met the girl of his dreams…literally. The only catch to winning Ramona Flowers (Mary Elizabeth Winstead)? Her seven evil exes are coming to kill him. Genre-smashing filmmaker Edgar Wright (Hot Fuzz, Shaun of the Dead) tells the amazing story of one romantic slacker’s quest to power up with love in Scott Pilgrim vs. the World.
Scott Pilgrim has never had a problem getting a girlfriend. It’s getting rid of them that proves difficult. From the girl who kicked his heart’s ass—and now is back in town—to the teenage distraction he’s trying to shake when Ramona rollerblades into his world, love hasn’t been easy. He soon discovers, however, his new crush has the most unusual baggage of all: a nefarious league of exes controls her love life and will do whatever it takes to eliminate him as a suitor.
As Scott gets closer to Ramona, he must face an increasingly vicious rogues’ gallery from her past—from infamous skateboarders to vegan rock stars and fearsomely identical twins. And if he hopes to win his true love, he must vanquish them all before it really is game over.
Scott Pilgrim Vs The World & The Expendables Posters
Mar 18th
‘An epic of epic epicness’ movie poster tag-line of the year! Both these posters are simple but slick. I’m thoroughly looking forward to both of these, Scott Pilgrim is directed by Edgar Wright, the man behind Shaun of the Dead and Hot Fuzz two of my favourite comedy films of the last decade, I’m also interested in seeing Michael Cera play a role different to his awkward virgin role he’s played (very well I might add) in 27212 movies, I’m sold on this already.
As a red blooded straight man I’ve been a fan of action movies since I can remember, The Expendables looks like a master-class in mindless fun, the cast is pretty ridiculous – Sly Stallone, Jason Statham, Jet Li, Dolph Lundgren, Terry Crews, Randy Couture, Steve Austin, Eric Roberts, Mickey Rourke, Danny Trejo, Charisma Carpenter, and many others.
