Brandon Routh and Satya Bhabha
With Edgar Wright’s Scott Pilgrim vs. The World now playing in theaters, it’s time to post my last on camera interview from the Los Angeles junket and it’s with Brandon Routh and Satya Bhabha. In the film, Routh and Bhabha play two of the evil ex’s and they’re both perfectly cast in the film. As I’ve said many times already, I absolutely loved director Edgar Wright’s Scott Pilgrim vs. The World and think it’s a classic in every sense of the word.
In retrospect, it seems appropriate that I spoke to Edgar Wright for this interview via telephone as he rushed from one place to another, dropped the call at one point, and was generally pressed for time during the entire conversation. Mind you, that isn't a complaint at all; rather, it's an indication of how hard-working, committed and most of all energetic Wright is. That he would devote whatever spare minutes he had to field a few questions from yours truly about Scott Pilgrim vs. the World , his terrific new film, is a testament to his generosity, and that he would provide such interesting, insightful, and thought-provoking answers is one to his febrile intelligence and the completeness of his filmmaking vision. Scott Pilgrim is of course an adaptation of the Bryan Lee O'Malley graphic novel series of the same name, and it seems tailor-made for Wright's leapfrog, pop-culture-saturated sensibilities.
Director: Edgar Wright
SCHWARTZMAN: Okay, let me ask you this: Have you ever been working with an actor and while they are acting you’re thinking to yourself, That’s just not good? CERA: Yeah. But that’s all under the umbrella of trusting the director, don’t you think? Because even if something isn’t good it can be cut together and still work.
