The comedy omnibus Movie 43 has something for everyone with its enormous, star-studded cast: Emma Stone, Hugh Jackman, Kate Winslet, Naomi Watts, Terrence Howard, Halle Berry, Jason Sudeikis, Gerard Butler, Kristen Bell, Chloe Moretz, Josh Duhamel, Johnny Knoxville, Elizabeth Banks, Christopher Mintz-Plasse, Richard Gere, Anna Faris, Justin Long, Liev Schreiber, Uma Thurman, Seann William Scott, Kieran Culkin, Leslie Bibb, Jimmy Bennett, Ricky Gervais, Stephen Merchant, Kate Bosworth, Patrick Warburton, Tony Shalhoub, Chris Pratt, Jack McBrayer, Aasif Mandvi, Bobby Cannavale.

Movie 43 opens on January 25, 2013, so Relativity sent over an exclusive TV spot.  If you can handle jokes about homeschool incest and inappropriate uses for hot sauce, watch it after the jump.  And make sure to check out the red band trailer.

If you like your movie trailers short on plot, heavy on the ad-libbing and redder than a Romney state, then you’ll love this new red-band effort from Movie 43.  The Peter Farrelly ensemble comedy stars everyone you’ve ever heard of in Hollywood and even some you haven’t.  Movie 43 has released another red-band trailer previously, but the new one mostly focuses on a stream of improv from Jason Sudeikis who is admiring Kristen Bell’s crotch.

Starring Elizabeth Banks, Kristen Bell, Halle Berry, Leslie Bibb, Kate Bosworth, Gerard Butler and everyone else, Movie 43 opens on January 25th, 2013.  Hit the jump to see the new red-band trailer.

Two upcoming Relativity Media films may not have titles, but they now have release dates.  First up, James McTeigue’s Untitled Raven Project (previously titled The Raven) will open on March 9, 2012.  Per the press release, “The film is a gritty thriller in which Edgar Allan Poe (John Cusack) joins forces with a young Baltimore detective (Luke Evans) to hunt down a mad serial killer who’s using Poe’s own works as the basis in a string of brutal murders.”  The untitled movie also stars Alice Eve, Brendan Gleeson, and Oliver Jackson-Cohen.

Relativity has also set the date for the Untitled Farrelly/Wessler Comedy that has an absolutely ridiculous cast starring in a series of interconnected stories.  Just some of the names on board include Johnny Knoxville, Gerard Butler, Anna Faris, Seann Hugh Jackman, Richard Gere, Uma Thurman, Halle Berry, Emma Stone, Naomi Watts, Kate Winslet, Terrence Howard, Liev Schreiber, Elizabeth Banks, Justin Long, Kristen Bell, Chloe Grace Moretz, and Stephen Merchant.  Hit the jump for the full press release.

How does one reinvent the romantic comedy? The formula for them is simple: Boy meets girl, boy loses girl, happy ending. But finding a new or exciting way to tell that story is always the challenge. And yet Edgar Wright has done it successfully three times now – even if he’s not known as a romantic comedy director (the label used to be for Lubitsch and Wilder, now it’s for Nora Ephron). But in Shaun of the Dead, Shaun must salvage his relationship while the world is on the brink of a zombie apocalypse; in Hot Fuzz he tweaks the action movie genre to show a platonic love story about how sometimes you need a partner to complete yourself; and in Scott Pilgrim Vs. The World it’s about fighting the baggage of old relationships while starting a new one made literal. Michael Cera stars as the titular Pilgrim, who meets Ramona Flowers (Mary Elizabeth Winstead), the girl of his dreams – literally. They start dating, but her evil exes have formed a league to defeat Pilgrim and end their relationship. My review of Scott Pilgrim vs. the World on Blu-ray follows after the jump.

Call it a rematch.  The filmmakers and cast of Scott Pilgrim vs. The World are hitting the road again, this time to celebrate the film’s release on Blu-ray and DVD.  You may remember that the film made an impressive tour when the movie was released back in August (they may have even appeared on your local news).  Said co-writer and director Edgar Wright: “To say thank you to the fans who have supported us, I am very excited to bring special screenings and autograph signing events with me and the cast to Los Angeles, Toronto, Boston and New York.”

Be sure to say thank you for the great film if you live in those cities, or just say thanks by picking up the movie on Blu-ray or DVD when it hits on November 9th.  Hit the jump for more details on the upcoming tour.

Edgar Wright’s Scott Pilgrim vs. The World is slated to hit DVD and Blu-ray on November 9th.  Special features include deleted and alternate scenes, bloopers, and cast and director commentary.  Judging by the releases for Shaun of the Dead and Hot Fuzz, I’m sure there will be plenty more extras (both discs are must-owns).  As we reported in August, there’s also a special feature that shows off a piece of animation that Wright’s brother Oscar did back in 2008 that demonstrated the physics of Scott’s massive hit-combo against Matthew Patel in the first fight.

Hit the jump for a list of special features that will be on the UK version (and hopefully the US version as well).  Scott Pilgrim vs. The World has an MSRP of $29.98 on DVD and $39.98 on Blu-ray.

[Update: we received a press release with full details on the home video release, plus a high-resolution image of the cover art.  Check out the updates after the jump.]

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.  While many of you might have the urge to go see The Expendables this weekend, I promise you Scott Pilgrim is a much better film.  Anyway, hit the jump to see Routh and Bhabha talk about being at Comic-Con, the Scott Pilgrim Experience, watching the movie with 1,200 fans, making t-shirts, and a lot more.

We are the heroes of our own lives and we view the world through our passions and our heartbreaks, our defeats and our triumphs.  In Scott Pilgrim vs. The World, Scott Pilgrim may be a dork/goof/slacker/quasi-jerk but he’s the hero of his life and willing to fight for the girl of his dreams as he traverses a world made of videogames, indie rock, kung-fu, romance, comedy, and Canada.  Co-writer and director Edgar Wright has taken the tale of Scott Pilgrim and crafted a picture that is joyous, exciting, heartfelt, honest, blazingly original, and a work of pure brilliance that is easily one of the best films of the year.

Opening tomorrow is writer/director Edgar Wright’s Scott Pilgrim vs. The World.  As I’ve said many times, I think Scott Pilgrim is one of the best films of the year and a classic in every sense of the word.  As you’ve probably noticed, we’ve been posting tons of interviews with the cast.  Here’s some links: Mark Webber/Alison Pill, Brandon Routh/Satya Bhabha, Mary Elizabeth Winstead/Ellen Wong, director Edgar Wright and Kieran Culkin/Aubrey Plaza.

On top of the print interviews, we got to talk to almost everyone on camera. Since the interviews were done the day after Comic-Con, I spent most of the time talking about the awesome “Scott Pilgrim Experience” that Universal set up outside the convention and what was it like being there.  Also, during my interview with Michael Cera and Jason Schwartzman, I asked them if they actually made any t-shirts for the fans, and I found out Schwartzman’s real coat was used as a model for Scott Pilgrims coat in the movie.  I’ll let Cera and Schwartzman explain after the jump:

In an era where movie studios seem to be recycling the same ideas, Scott Pilgrim vs. The World is a breath of fresh air.  Based on the awesome graphic novel by Bryan Lee O’Malley, Scott Pilgrim has been brilliantly brought to life by Edgar Wright (Shaun of the Dead, Hot Fuzz, Spaced) and it’s not only a showcase of what he can do as a writer/director, it completely breaks the mold of the way to tell a story on screen.  That’s because Wright has found a innovative way of telling the story and it involves fast editing and insanely quick transitions from scene to scene that feel like you’re inside a comic book.   I truly believe Scott Pilgrim is going to influence a generation of filmmakers as I’ve never seen anything like it.  I’m beyond impressed, and I strongly recommend buying a ticket this weekend.

Anyway, last week I got to sit down with Wright for an extended interview.  If you’re a fan of this great director or just really looking forward to Scott Pilgrim vs. The World, I really think you’ll love the interview as we covered a wide range of subjects like the writing process,  how they came up with the awesome transitions and the editing in general, Comic-Con, Scott Pilgrim t-shirts, the premiere at the Chinese Theater in Hollywood, deleted scenes and extended cuts, can he make a movie more than every three years, and we talk future projects but he says no progress has been made on Ant-Man or any other project since July 2008.  Hit the jump to check it out. As always, it’s been time indexed so you can watch the parts that interest you:

Anyway, during the Los Angeles press junket for Scott Pilgrim, I also got to do TV interviews with most of the cast and director Edgar Wright. Since the interviews were done the day after Comic-Con, I spent most of the time talking about the awesome “Scott Pilgrim Experience” that Universal set up outside the Convention and what being at Comic-Con was like for them.  Also, during my interview with Wright, we talked about walking around the convention floor with Simon Pegg and Nick Frost, what does he geek out over, what were the screenings like at Comic-Con, and the awesome Scott Pilgrim t-shirts. Check out what he had to say after the jump:

Whether it’s in the pages of the Bryan Lee O’Malley comic book series or on screen in the Edgar Wright film, the ultimate boss battle for Scott Pilgrim is with Ramona Flowers’ seventh evil-ex Gideon Graves. There’s no doubt about it, Pilgrim vs. Graves is the main event of Scott Pilgrim vs. The World and also for our series of roundtables.

When Michael Cera, who plays Scott Pilgrim, and Jason Schwartzman, who plays Gideon Graves, sit down at your table, there’s no doubt it’s going to be fun. Both are known for being hilarious comedic actors and in person, you get exactly that. Plus you get some insight into what makes the stars of such modern classics as Rushmore, Superbad, Juno and Fantastic Mr. Fox tick.
