Yeah, Edgar Wright showed off his cast for Scott Pilgrim Vs. the World](Scott Pilgrim vs. the World (2010) - Movie | Moviefone) in February, but the images all featured the actors hiding behind pictures of their characters. We’ve gotten a few more since then, but now it’s time to see the group side by side. See, Wright showed a framed still on his blog, and then /Film wonderfully Photoshopped it so that it’s a dead-on look. From left to right, there’s Michael Cera’s Scott Pilgrim, Mary Elizabeth Winstead’s Ramona Flowers, Johnny Simmons’ Young Neil, Ellen Wong’s Knives Chau, Alison Pill’s Kim Pine, and Mark Webber’s Stephen Stills.
The upcoming film features an awkward but increasingly kickass Pilgrim who has to fight for the right to Ramona Flowers by defeating all of her evil ex boyfriends with super-spiffy video game moves. And it’s all set in Toronto – in my neighbourhood (spelled with a u here!) – which makes it even cooler. /Film guesses that the photo might be a glimpse of the group watching Crash and the Boys at Lee’s Palace – a perfectly grungy local venue currently receiving a big face-lift (sob) and burrito-stand addition.
But enough about Lee’s. Whether they’re in Second Cup, on streetcars, or climbing the stairs at Casa Loma, it’ll all come down to how these guys pull off their characters. They all look pretty darned good, although I do hope that Winstead looks more naturally funky and stylish in future photos. Knives is totally kicking her butt when it comes to making the look believable, and it really should be the other way around.
But what do you think?
