The Slacker And The Pretty Girl

With hits like Superbad and Juno behind him actor Michael Cera (pictured) isn't resting on his success. The actor is in final negotiations to star in the adventure romance "Scott Pilgrim's Little Life" according to The Hollywood Reporter.



Based upon Bryan Lee O'Malley's' Scott Pilgrim comic book series, "Life" tells the story of a young slacker (Cera) who meets the woman of his dreams but finds that he can only win her heart by battling and defeating her seven evil ex-boyfriends.

Edgar Wright, who helmed the stupendous zombie-spoof "Shaun of the Dead") is calling the shots here as well , Wright also co-wrote the adapted screenplay with Michael Bacall

Cera is perfect for this role. His comedic skills and shy-like persona has helped his career soar proving that geek is in. Teaming with Wright should produce more great cinema from Cera.

Production is aiming to start by this Fall.
