Synopsis:
 
Meet charming and jobless Scott Pilgrim (Michael Cera). A bass guitarist for 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.

The US poster artwork for the latest Wes Anderson film, The Darjeeling Limited, was only slightly interesting. However, the Japanese poster artwork is absolutely perfect!

“There’s this chemistry that can happen when people are really genuine and cool and you get this natural sense of camaraderie and friendship – and that’s what happened on this film. It was exciting for all of us, and Wes was kind of like the fourth brother. We’re all so similar in intangible ways – it’s almost a little weird.”

“Everything that you see in the film is pretty much happening – when you see us freezing in a river in India, we’re freezing in a river in India, not in Colorado somewhere. I think that really helps to literally put you in the shoes of your character because you’re so immersed in that environment.”

“Peter comes in contact with so much life in India, it kind of awakens him. I mean the thing about India is that life is very precarious there and everywhere you turn you are seeing people on the verge of death or extraordinary beauty and there is a kind of fluidity to it all – and I think Peter’s denial has prevented him from experiencing these parts of life, until he goes to India..”

“Wes (Anderson) has a very specific yet unusual interpretation of life so that the timing of events in this movie makes them comedic even though what the brothers are experiencing is not a joke. In a sense, we’re kind of straight men in an amusing situation.”

Daily schedule anyone?

“The story reminded me of one of those family vacations you had growing up where everything would end in disaster. Even though we’re supposed to be having this blessed spiritual experience, we can’t quite get past the bickering that kept us away from each other for so long in the first place. This, in turn, leads Francis to do the one thing he never would have tried on his own – letting go a little. Francis is the type of person who thinks if you’re going to have a spiritual experience, you have to really put in the effort. It’s comical, of course, because you can’t really approach the spiritual with that kind of methodical determination, but in spite of Francis, they do each kind of have a spiritual experience.”
