Scott Pilgrim vs. The World will hit theaters on August 13th, 2010, and Universal Pictures has released a new clip to help promote the film during the San Diego Comic-Con!

Scott Pilgrim is a film version of Bryan Lee O’Malley’s similarly titled graphic novels, directed by Shaun of the Dead and Hot Fuzz director Edgar Wright, and stars Michael Cera, Mary Elizabeth Winstead, Kieran Culkin, Chris Evans, and Jason Schwartzmann.

Scott Pilgrim’s life is so awesome. He’s 23 years old, in a rock band, “between jobs,” and dating a cute high school girl. Everything’s fantastic until a seriously mind-blowing, dangerously fashionable, roller blading delivery girl named Ramona Flowers starts cruising through his dreams and sailing by him at parties. But the path to Ms. Flowers isn’t covered in rose petals. Ramona’s seven evil exes stand between Scott and true happiness. Can Scott beat the bad guys and get the girl without turning his precious little life upside-down?

Michael Cera likes a woman who takes control.

The ‘Superbad’ actor is amazed by the shyness of many of the females he meets and dreams of meeting someone more assertive.

He said: “I like a woman to take control but they’re hard to find. For example, when I go out to a restaurant I know every girl in there wants to come say hi and be sexually aggressive, but they’re all so gripped by shyness that they don’t even make a move. In some cases the shyness is so severe they won’t even look at me.”

Hey, lady, those are some sexy-a*s extensions. I guess you won’t mind if I extend to you a personal invitation to party with me one-on-one in a scary motel room.Despite his dislike of shy girls, the 22-year-old star has also admitted that talking to girls is not easy to him either and he occasionally resorts to cheesy chat up lines.

Asked what was the worst line he had ever used, he told Playboy magazine: “Hey, lady, those are some sexy-a*s extensions. I guess you won’t mind if I extend to you a personal invitation to party with me one-on-one in a scary motel room.”

The actor also claimed he lost his virginity on the roof of a building, but claimed he “can’t remember” many details.

He joked: “To be honest I don’t remember too much about it. All I remember is I had been awake for almost 86 hours, I was on the roof of a Public Storage building in what seemed to be a freezing rainstorm, and Crispin Glover was there with a disposable camera he kept winding even though it had clearly run out of exposures.”

Michael Cera, that increasingly adult (but always awkward) young fella from ‘Superbad’ and ‘Year One,’ is the newest target of Playboy magazine’s illustrious 20 Questions series. And he talks about ‘Jersey Shore’! Apparently he hung out with the cast for a day:

“Actually, it was one of the most pleasant days I’ve had in a long time. We got drunk and laughed and danced and got in a hot tub and ate pizza,” Cera says, adding a zinger, “It was sort of like my eighth birthday party.”

The interview, filled with what Playboy calls “Cera’s standard sarcasm” — what we’d dub as “slight humorous fictionalization” — touches on Cera losing his virginity, his new film ‘Scott Pilgrim vs. The World,’ and the oddest pickup line the 22-year-old has dared use.
When he lost his virginity — supposedly: “To be honest I don’t remember too much about it. All I remember is I had been awake for almost 86 hours, I was on the roof of a Public Storage building in what seemed to be a freezing rainstorm, and Crispin Glover was there with a disposable camera he kept winding even though it had clearly run out of exposures.”

Does he prefer women who take charge? “Yes, but they’re hard to find. For example, when I go out to a restaurant I know every girl in there wants to come say hi and be sexually aggressive, but they’re all so gripped by shyness that they don’t even make a move. In some cases the shyness is so severe they won’t even look at me.”

The worst pickup line he’s ever busted out: “Hey, lady, those are some sexy-ass extensions. I guess you won’t mind if I extend to you a personal invitation to party with me one-on-one in a scary motel room.”

Will ‘Scott Pilgrim vs. the World’ only appeal to nerds? “I would say this movie is both a nerd and a non-nerd’s dream come true. For the nerds there are lots of Nintendo references and sound effects, and the non-nerds will enjoy making fun of all the nerds in the theater exploding with joy and afterward will possibly beat them all up.”

Co-star Anna Kendrick’s transition from filming with George Clooney to … Michael Cera: “Natural transition is not the phrase I would use. Handsome transition seems to be a better phrase to encapsulate what that lucky girl has experienced. Unfortunately, Anna and I got to work together for only one day. Though she plays my sister in the movie, one of our biggest scenes together takes place over the phone, and we shot our respective sides of the conversation at completely different times on the shooting schedule. She regrets that we weren’t able to spend more time together. We got close enough for me to feel comfortable in assuming that.”

Was his childhood role in a commercial (poking the Pillsbury Doughboy) his big break? “Well, in a way it was. Kids around school started asking if I had been in a commercial. They all seemed baffled by it. I enjoyed the recognition until the older kids started poking me in the stomach. Hard. With their fists.”

Cera said he hadn’t spoken to Arrested Development creator Mitch Hurwitz about the movie “in a while.” More generally, the actor admitted to being apprehensive about the project.  “I feel scared by the all the expectations on it at this point,” he revealed. “People ask me about it a lot. And to make a movie that already has expectations built in before the script is even written seems intimidating.”

On the other hand, Arrested Development fans can look forward to a mini cast reunion in Scott Pilgrim. One of Cera’s costars is Mae Whitman, who portrayed his girlfriend Ann on AD but, in Scott Pilgrim, plays one of the punch-happy “evil exes” of Cera’s new gal pal. “It was great,” Cera said of re-teaming with Whitman. “She’s so funny in this, and impressive too in her fight sequence.”

RELEASED on DVD and Blu-ray on July 12 is the coming-of-age comedy Youth in Revolt, starring Michael Cera.

Also in the cast of this tale of adolescent obsession and rebellion are Justin Long (Funny People, Dodgeball), Steve Buscemi (Big Fish, Fargo), Ray Liotta (Goodfellas, Observe and Report), Zach Galifianakis (The Hangover, What Happens in Vegas) and Portia Doubleday.

Teenager Nick Twisp (Cera) is a unique but affable teen with a taste for the finer things in life like Sinatra and Fellini who falls hopelessly in love with the beautiful, free-spirited Sheeni Saunders (Doubleday) while on a family vacation.

But family, geography and jealous ex-lovers conspire to keep the two apart. With Sheeni’s encouragement, Nick abandons his dull, predictable life and develops a rebellious alter ego: Francois Dillinger.

With his accent, his moustache and his cigarette, Francois will stop at nothing to be with Sheeni, and leads Nick Twisp on a path of destruction with unpredictable and uproarious consequences.

Both formats of the Momentum Pictures release will contain the following special features: audio commentary with director Miquel Areta and Michael Cera; deleted scenes; audition footage; deleted and extended animated sequences.

Michael attended the 2010 MTV Movie Awards, so I added the images to the gallery! Check out the album:

It is being reported that actor Michael Cera has broken up with his longtime girlfriend, Charlyne Yi. Cera is the 22 year-old actor best known for his roles in movies like “Juno” and “Superbad”. Yi is a 24 year-old actress, writer, and artist who has had roles in the movies “Knocked Up” and Cloverfield.

Cera and Yi recently wrote and filmed “Paper Heart” together. “Paper Heart” is a mocumentary that chronicled the couple’s relationship. They are currently in the middle of promoting the film.

Although a reason for the break-up has not been confirmed, rumors are flying that Cera ended his relationship with Yi because his star is rising in Hollywood and he wanted to have fun dating other women. Sources close to Yi report that the actress is devastated by the split and is sad to have to continue to be around Cera while the pair continues their movie promotion tour.

The rumors surrounding the split have enraged bloggers, who have taken to the internet to blast Cera’s decision to break up with Yi over superficial reasons. While Yi might not be considered a traditional beauty, she has won fans over with her talents and has received a lot of sympathy from internet bloggers.

Actor Jason Schwartzman may play an “evil ex-boyfriend” in writer-director Edgar Wright’s Scott Pilgrim vs. The World, but apparently villainy doesn’t suit him. Schwartzman plays Gideon Graves, one of Ramona V. Flowers’ (Mary Elizabeth Winstead) seven exes that Scott Pilgrim (Michael Cera) must defeat to win her affections. He recently told MTV that he hated to do the final fight scene against Cera because it was “not natural” for him.

Despite any misgivings he had about his role in Scott Pilgrim, Schwartzman called the movie “fantastic” and had nothing but praise for Wright.

“It’s so amazing, because it has so many different things in it. It’s many different layers and tones — comedy, emotion, action, drama.

Edgar worked so hard on it and put so much into it. It’s really just fun to watch, too, because it’s always changing. Just when you think you have your finger on it, it alters.”

The Scott Pilgrim production wrapped in August 2009, but Wright recently confirmed rumors that he had scheduled three days of reshoots to add “icing on the cake.” He said that the reshoots had nothing to do with any perceived problems with the movie and hinted that he simply wanted to touch on some of the content of the sixth volume in creator Bryan O’Malley’s comic series on which the movie is based. Schwartzman confirmed that he had filmed “a little bit” during the reshoots, but would not elaborate on the content.
