Here’s a look at Aubrey Plaza and Brie Larson as Julie Powers and Natalie “Envy” Adams in “Scott Pilgrim Vs. The World.” Powers is the on and off bitchy girlfriend of protagonist Pilgrim’s bandmate, Stephen Stills (Mark Webber), while Adams is the ex-girlfriend of Pilgrim’s who now leads the band The Clash At Demonhead — who will be stood in for by Canadian synth-rockers Metric.

Edgar Wright still hopes to one day return to his adaptation of the Marvel comic book property, “Ant-Man.” ” ‘Ant-Man’ is something I need to return to. I wrote a draft before ‘Scott Pilgrim’ started and it’s kind [of] on the back burner slightly just because I’ve been busy with this. But it’s something that I have got to return to. I have to do another draft after ‘Scott Pilgrim’ is done.” Will Marvel wait? Probably, there doesn’t seem to be any fervid hankering for this project on their part. At least not yet. Maybe they’re smart to wait. This is a C-level character that needs someone like Wright to make the feature special, ala what Jon Favreau did to the B-level Iron Man. [MTV]
Here’s another glimpse at Megan Fox in all her demonic glory from Karyn Kusama’s “Jennifer’s Body.” We think we’ve seen those teeth on the cover of every Fangoria cover since the beginning of its existence. Oh wait… [Fangoria]
“Brüno” has proved to be an early hit in Australia with its opening day earnings second only to that of “Transformers: Revenge Of The Fallen” this year with AUS$1.7 million. It is now the third-biggest opening of a comedy film in Australia ever – though it has to be noted that the classification system in Australia meant “Brüno’s” ‘MA15+’ rating allowed anyone over the age of 15 may see the film unsupervised.

A early teaser, if you can call it that, for Ricky Gervais’ “Cemetary Junction” has been released. [Videogum]
What's Cemetery Junction about? So far we've gotten two comedies based on an un-realistic premise (Ghost Town, The Invention of Lying), so I hope this one isn't the same.
I know exactly what you mean which is why I'm very excited for 'Cemetery Junction.'
You can read more about it here and here but it's basically about a group of friends in the 70's, sounds much more grounded and reunites Gervais with his writing partner from "The Office" and "Extras."
