Cera's typecast. Seth Rogen's typecast. I swear, you could take the character they play in one film and you'd mistake him to be playing the same guy in every other film. Name, living situation, the whole she-bang.

You know that Jason Statham cameo in Collateral? That's what Rogen and Cera have befallen – they show face and you assume, "Hey, he's the pot-smoking guy who got that hot chick pregnant before, or possibly after, he did that thing with the porno with the other kinda hot chick and THAT might have been before or after he was a dumb-shit cop and had a bitch of a wife who wouldn't let him hang out with Matt Dillon."

I'm just ranting now. But it's unintentional continuity, their being typecast. Why can't we keep the same Colonel Rhodes when they're giving Seth Rogen the "cute, lovable, dumb-ass" role in every friggin comedy post 2000?

Hair-brained theory or not, it's a damn good idea.

Not to nitpick (lies), but wouldn't it be Book 5? And yes, Cera does play the exact same character in everything. But wouldn't a mad-scientist type genius of Wright's caliber be able to elevate anyone into seeming like a demi-god?

I love Scott Pilgrim,too – but I'm not super angry about Michael Cera being cast. He seems like the obvious choice for people who don't really understand the character, and he's a hot commodity, so it makes sense.

I have faith in Wright, but you made your point really well.

I hope this movie fails. I love scott pilgrim with all my heart (issue 5 out today!) but nothing fills me with more rage than the idea of michael cera standing in scotts shoes. Scott Pilgrim is out going, funny, a loud mouth, and a fighter and a lover, Michael Cera plays one character in every movie, a pussy, shy, indy rock wuss who gives everyone who doesnt shop at main stream clothing stores a bad name. This film is a horrible idea and Michael Cera is horrible person, i dont blame him for making bank but dont piss on things I love dude.
