Hooooooooly crap.


I just started reading the first book. I'm loving it so far.
Thanks, GAF.


Not a fan of Cera, but I think he might be good in this.

MUST DOWNLOAD THIS NAOO.

Okay iTunes, I will wait 10 minutes to save this in glorious 1080p before watching.

This today, and Kick-Ass tomorrow, greatest weekend ever?

All these posts of hype. This shit better be the second coming of the Matrix or something.

Cera as expected is absolutely fucking awful. Everything else looks amazing but the main character. What a flub. He looks like he is about to cry in every single scene.

YES!

As the only person here who's seen this movie *ahem* :D, I can say this trailer a decent indication of what you're in for.

It's a lot more awesome than that trailer.

I thought he was plenty rad. I don't know though. Bryan Lee O'Malley seems to think he's great in it. Seems like an untrustworthy source who knows next to nothing about the character.

;D

Everything about this trailer is what you'd get if you melted down a pure block of awesome ore.

...and holycrap at the defeated enemy turning into coins at the end.

for someone who has no frame of reference to the source material, the trailer was cool and makes me want to see this movie.

EXCEEDS ALL EXPECTATIONS!

(This is special for me, because, finally, my city stars in a good movie, it takes place in places I frequent, and I've been following the comic since before it launched...)

Yes we've done this dance before. You can pretend all you want, as can O'Malley, Cera's Scott is like the complete opposite of what the books present. Just from that trailer you can see every single other character and actor outshine him. It's going to be an incredibly unintentionally ironic film in that the IN THE MOVIE TITLE character himself is the one you will walk out of the cinema not giving a shit about in any way because it was "just Michael Cera" again.

I was actually wondering what the experience would be like for someone in this situation.

AWESOME!!!

Awesome, but Cera's Scott is nothing like the way he comes across in the comic.
Judging from the trailer that is.

Yeah, he seems way too subdued. Scott in the comic is goofy neurotic, not bashful neurotic.

Errr Michael Cera as Michael Cera, he didn't remind me of Scott at all. Overall trailer looked pretty meh. I still have hope Edgar Wright will come through though.

Didn't blow my mind. It tries to get there, but fails to go the extra mile like Speed Racer does.

The Street Fighter II sound effect was nice, though. :p

Exactly. In the books (only read the first one, the rest is one its way) he is a silly, slightly dumb, cocky and geeky asshole.
Micheal Cera plays him as awkward and insecure. Which I find odd given the source material.

The direction looks awesome, as expected from Edgar Wright, but Michael Cera... I can't get over the fact that he's the star of the movie. I think my hate for Cera might be bigger than my love for Mr. Wright :(

I'm indifferent to the trailer, but still pretty interested given Wright at the helm. Michael Cera is just so awful though.

He's just insufferable. The fixed, listless expression on his face at all times, the inability to command a scene or convey any emotion whatsoever. He has the acting talent and range of a potted plant.

As a guy who has no bearing on the books, this looks like No More Heroes: A Cautionary Love Story.

And as such has me strangely intrigued, if only for the references (KAY OH-oh-oh) and irreverence.

You know, I like Cera.
I just wish he showed some range and would play Scott as... well as the Scott portrayed in the comic.
