But Then I Read This...

.
I was gonna shut up for a bit, but then I saw this tidbit of news and... y'all, director Edgar Wright is totally giving my brain a hand-job.

"Even more names have joined the cast of "Scott Pilgrim vs. the World" for Universal Pictures says The Hollywood Reporter.

"Pilgrim" centers on young slacker Scott Pilgrim (Michael Cera), who meets the woman of his dreams (Mary Elizabeth Winstead) but finds he can win her heart only by battling and defeating her seven evil ex-boyfriends.

Brandon Routh ("Superman Returns") plays the third evil boyfriend, Todd Ingram, a rocker with vegan psychic powers."

Chris Evans and Brandon Routh! Chris Evans and Brandon Routh! Okay, let me just visually illustrate this:


See? Chris Evans and Brandon Routh. Mmhmm.

I don't think I have ever been as excited for a film that I knew so little/nothing about.

You should read the books, JD. They're terrific.

J.D. said...

I think I will, actually! :)

Chris Evans I get but until that pic I felt Brandon was overrated, maybe I should rent Batman Begins. I do like Mr. Evans chest hair, happy trail, and v-muscle look.

Am I the only one who thinks that this sounds like a porno? He has to beat seven hot ex-boyfriends? I mean, come on, there is a masterful movie to be made here.

JA, you're making me crazy, here. No fair. This could be the most deliciously homoerotic movie since "300."

John said...

I rented 300 and there was some male flesh but I expected so much more. I hope the same doesn't happen when I finally see The Tudors.

Seems we're both obsessed with recent casting news for Scott Pilgrim ;-)
