Brandon in "Scott Pilgrim vs. the World."

**brdwaybebe** · 01-20-2009, 07:03 AM

From HollywoodReporter:

Chris Evans, Brandon Routh and Brie Larson have joined the cast of "Scott Pilgrim vs. the World," Edgar Wright's adaptation of the cult favorite Oni Press graphic novels for Universal.

"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.

The books, by Bryan Lee O'Malley, feature romance, teen angst and plenty of fantastical action involving a large supporting cast. The fifth installment of the book series will be published in February.

Evans plays evil boyfriend No. 2, Lucas Lee, a pro skateboarder-turned-movie star, while Routh plays the third evil boyfriend, Todd Ingram, a rocker with vegan psychic powers.

Larson plays Pilgrim's ex-girlfriend, Envy Adams, for whom he still has feelings.

Also joining the pic, which will shoot Toronto, are Mae Whitman as Roxy Richter, the fourth ex, a female who is half-ninja; Ellen Wong as Knives Chau, who Pilgrim is dating when he meets his dream girl; and Anna Kendrick as Pilgrim's sister.

Mark Webber plays Stephen Stills, a member of Pilgrim's rock band. Alison Pill is the band's drummer and Johnny Simmons is Young Neil, the band's biggest fan. Aubrey Plaza plays Webber's on-again off-again girlfriend.

Satya Bhabha plays an ex-boyfriend who can summon demon hipster girls at will.

Marc Platt, Eric Gitter, Nira Park and Wright are producing. Wright wrote the screenplay with Michael Bacall.

Ronaldo Vasconcellos and Miles Dale are executive producing.

Evans, repped by CAA and 3 Arts, is known for the "Fantastic Four" movies and next appears in the Summit release "Push." Routh, repped by UTA and Main Title, is coming off a comic turn in "Zack and Miri Make a Porno."

Larson, repped by Gersh and Station Three, plays Toni Collette's daughter in Showtime's "United States of Tara," while Kendrick, repped by APA and Artistry Management, appeared in "Twilight" and will star in Jason Reitman's "Up in the Air."

Brandon plays....
Todd Ingram: Ramona's third evil ex-boyfriend. Bass player for The Clash At Demonhead. Has special vegan psychic powers (although is secretly consuming non-vegan foods). Dating Envy, but cheating on her with Lynette.

Hmm. Michael Cera....he is the guy from Superbad and Nick and Norah's Infinite Playlist... his movies have been pretty popular lately. I think this is going to be another great cameo performance for Brandon.

This sounds like a fun project!

Thanks for the find, Christy!

This sounds like it's going to be kinda like a fantasy-ish movie - right up Brandon's alley it seems!

LOL @ "vegan psychic powers" - this sounds like fun.

absoluteimp · 01-20-2009, 08:16 AM

Cool! Brandon as an evil boyfriend...can't wait to see that!

Brandon Fan Forever · 01-20-2009, 08:20 AM

Good find Christy. Should be interesting to see him as an evil ex-boyfriend.

All Major Casting for SCOTT PILGRIM VS. THE WORLD Revealed!
1/19/2009

Written by Matt Goldberg

When Steve sent me this story from The Hollywood Reporter with all major "Scott Pilgrim vs. The World" parts filled out, I thought about doing this massive article where I would take headshots from each of the actors and then put it side-by-side with the character they're playing, like I've done with Kieran Culkan for Wallace Wells, Aubrey Plaza for Julie Powers, Ellen Wong for Knives Chau, and Chris Evans for Lucas Lee.

But there's just too much casting. I have about one shred of journalistic integrity left; one ounce of allowing myself to be open to the possibility that this film won't be amazing. If I sell that off, then I'm just a fanboy and while I love all of Edgar Wright's work, while I think he's assembled an amazing cast, and while I think he'll do justice to a comic series I love, I can't just up and quit and create the "Scott Pilgrim vs. The World" fansite. This economy just won't allow for it.

So with that disclaimer out of the way, let's see who'll be joining the aforementioned actors and stars Michael Cera (Scott Pilgrim) and Ramona Flowers (Mary Elizabeth Winstead):

Sex Bob-Omb n Friends

Mark Webber ("The Hottest State") will play Scott's friend and Sex Bob-omb frontman, Stephen Stills.

Alison Pill ("Milk") will play Scott's sardonic friend (and ex-girlfriend) and Sex Bob-omb's drummer, Kim Pine.

Johnny Simmons ("The Spirit", he played young Spirit) will play Sex Bob-omb's devoted fan, Young Neil. Of all the casting for the film so far, Simmons bears the most uncanny resemblance to his comic-counterpart.

Anna Kendrick ("Twilight") will play Scott's younger and smarter but loving sister, Stacey.

A League of Evil-Exes

Brie Larson ("The United States of Tara") will play Scott's evil-ex, Envy Adams who is also the lead singer and keyboardist of the band The Clash at Demonhead.

Brandon Routh ("Superman Returns") will play Ramona's third evil-ex boyfriend, Todd Ingram who uses the power of veganism. He's also the bassist for The Clash at Demonhead and dating Envy.

Satya Bhabba ("Swordswallowers and Thin Men") will play Ramona's first evil-ex boyfriend, Matthew Patel who can summon evil demon hipster girls.

Mae Whitman ("Arrested Development"—that's right, George Michael and Ann Veal are back together!) will play Ramona's fourth evil-ex Roxy Richter who is half-ninja ("Her?").

So with all this casting, what does it all mean: well first, this movie is going to be at least all the first four books with possibly plot and characters from the yet-to-be-released fifth and sixth books. Would those be included or would they hold off on that material for a possible sequel?

Whatever they plan to do, we now have casting for every major character in the first four books and that is ****ing awesome.

It sounds pretty cool!

Sounds awesome! Be great to see him play an "evil boyfriend" and a "rocker with psychic powers."

Just thought I would drop in here (as someone who has actually read the books) to say it will be a really fun part and those who have been hanging out to see Brandon fly again shouldn't be dissappointed.

God I love the Scott Pilgrim series.

**brdwaybebe** · 01-21-2009, 02:25 AM

Eeee! Thanks Harm! I'm excited to see it now. It sounds like a lot of fun! I love fantastical type stories. Am I right in assuming this is more along those lines?
