The teaser trailer for Scott Pilgrim Vs. The World is now online.

Watch it here below!

The film, directed by Edgar Wright, is based on the popular Oni Press comic book series by Bryan Lee O’Malley, and stars Michael Cera in the title role with Mary Elizabeth Winstead as his love interest Ramona. Kieran Culkin, Chris Evans, Anna Kendrick, Alison Pill, Brandon Routh, and Jason Schwartzman also star.

This teaser trailer is the most awesome thing that I have seen in a long time. If this trailer is any indication, this is a very faithful adaptation, from Ramona’s hair color to actually hearing the sound effects from the comic book. From this footage it looks like the comic book come to life.

Michael Cera actually looks the part, and I had my doubts about him up until the moment I started watching this trailer. Mary Elizabeth Winstead clearly has a handle on the character of Ramona Flowers, and her evil ex-boyfriends look perfect. Honestly, it looks even better than I hoped it would. I need this movie yesterday. I will be counting the days until August.

Scott’s catchphrase is “I gotta believe”! Watch this trailer and you WILL believe, my friends, you will believe.
