Jason Schwartzman had just wrapped “Scott Pilgrim Vs. The World” when he sat down for an interview with MTV. Check out our article on “Scott Pilgrim Vs. The World” and the production’s online blog for more info on this comic book-to-movie adaption.
Here are highlights from this interview:
Jason sums up the plot of “Scott Pilgrim Vs. The World”:
“Basically, Scott Pilgrim (Michael Cera) falls in love with a woman and in order to go out with her and win her affection, he must defeat her seven ex-evil boyfriends in a series of battles. I am the final boyfriend; I’m the mastermind. And I am quite lethal.”
How is it playing the villain, Gideon Gordon Graves?
“I’ve played people who have some villain-esque tendencies, but I’ve never played an-out-and-out enemy of the people before. It was incredible. I loved it.”
What was Jason’s most surreal moment while filming on the set?
“That is almost impossible [to choose], because every moment was surreal.. One moment that was quite surreal was myself on a wire-like a wire that’s attached to a pulley system-and I’m being pulled 30 feet above the ground, sword-fighting in mid-air. I was also jumping on trampolines and flipping, and doing all this stuff. That was the ‘If-my-friends-from-high-school-could-see-me-now’ moment.”
So is it safe to assume that Schwartzman is fighting Cera on wires? Schwartzman teases:
“No, not Michael-somebody else,” he explained cryptically. “But I can’t say who.”
“Scott Pilgrim Vs. The World” is directed by Edgar Wright and is due out 2010.
