Anna Kendrick, Kieran Culkin, And Aubrey Plaza 'Scott Pilgrim': Yes it is, finally, "Scott Pilgrim Vs. The World" week here HitFix, and we will count the days before the bigscreen adaptation of Edgar Wright, of 6 Bryan Lee O'Malley's comic parts with interviews with actors and filmmakers.I wrote about my non-traditional day with Michael Sera just before I left for vacation, and in this part, I talked about setting up the Universal together at two different halls for those of us, and do video interviews. It was an impressive effort on their part, no matter what happens with "Scott Pilgrim" when it opens this weekend (I'm crossing my fingers and hoping for $ 300 million on Monday ... that too optimistic?) No one can say, Universal did anything less than a bust your ass for this film.
The first group I got to speak during the press day was Anna Kendrick (sister of Scott Pilgrim in Stacy), Aubrey Plaza and Kieran Culkin (the scene of theft Wallace Wells), and it was a good workout during the day.
All three of these actors enough room to shine in the movie, and it was nice to talk to them as a group. Obviously, the troupe became close during this process, and very protective of each other. It is sweet to see them all, as a group, as in the San Diego screening of the film and see how very, very happy, they are the final product.
We will have many more cast for you within a few days, and I may even have a little bit later today.
