Is THIS the face of Scott Pilgrim???

(Hmmmm...)

A few years ago, now, Edgar Wright attached himself to direct a feature film adaptation of Scott Pilgrim. This is, quite frankly, the most perfect filmmaker/comic book pairing in the history of such things. And as a matter of course, I will state matter-of-factly that Bryan Lee O'Malley's Canadian manga stands as one of the crowning achievements in comics to date, so I'm not a neutral party here.

Now, according the Hollywood Reporter, Juno's Michael Cera is in negotiations to star as the titular character.

(The greatest line of dialogue in comics history. Possibly the greatest page in comics history. Easily the greatest use of swearing in the history of the English language. For reals.)

Not sure I see it. He's talented, sure, but can he pull off the awkward, yet all-encompassing charm? Can he play bass, but not very well? And can he kick massive amounts of ass?

Looks like we have a "wait and see" on our hands, folks. I'm not sold yet, but if Edgar Wright can see it, then I'll give him the benefit of the doubt...

For now.
