Scott Pilgrim Vs. The World - Trailer

The Universal Pictures clan release the 1st look trailer of director Edgar Wright's Scott Pilgrim Vs. The World, which hits theaters on Friday, August 13, 2010. Enjoy the trailer below, and the film stars Michael Cera, Mary Elizabeth Winstead, Kieran Culkin, Chris Evans, Anna Kendrick, Alison Pill, Brandon Routh and Jason Schwartzman.



Universal Pictures === Meet charming and jobless Scott Pilgrim [Michael Cera]. A bass guitarist for garage band Sex Bob-omb, the 22-year-old has just met the girl of his dreams...literally. The only catch to winning Ramona Flowers [Mary Elizabeth Winstead]? Her seven evil exes are coming to kill him. Genre-smashing filmmaker Edgar Wright [Hot Fuzz, Shaun of the Dead] tells the amazing story of one romantic slacker’s quest to power up with love in Scott Pilgrim vs. the World.



Scott Pilgrim has never had a problem getting a girlfriend. It's getting rid of them that proves difficult. From the girl who kicked his heart's ass—and now is back in town—to the teenage distraction he's trying to shake when Ramona rollerblades into his world, love hasn't been easy. He soon discovers, however, his new crush has the most unusual baggage of all: a nefarious league of exes controls her love life and will do whatever it takes to eliminate him as a suitor.

As Scott gets closer to Ramona, he must face an increasingly vicious rogues' gallery from her past—from infamous skateboarders to vegan rock stars and fearsomely identical twins. And if he hopes to win his true love, he must vanquish them all before it really is game over.

Russell Brand - Buy Love Here [Store]

Russell Brand's Buy Love Here is a pop-up and exchange store --- where for one day money will have no currency. The store will open on Thursday, May 27 from 2:00pm to 6:00pm at The Beverley Centre in Los Angeles [California].


Shepard Fairey [Obey Giant]

"The idea is to raise debate about the scale of consumer culture and to promote the re-use of products in a surplus society. It is a social experiment to examine shopping habits whilst providing an opportunity for Russell to speak directly with the public and gauge opinion. The day will be filmed as part of an ongoing documentary Russell is currently filming about the pursuit of happiness.

Many of us are guilty of buying things we don't necessarily need or updating products before the previous model is truly defunct. With this in mind the shop offers customers an opportunity to put those unwanted items to good use by offering them in exchange for something they actually need.

The shop will initially be stocked by donations from Russell, his friends [some celebrity] and companies prepared to contribute end of the line/out of season items. We are also welcoming donations from the public.

On the day Russell will act as vendor greeting customers and managing exchanges. Ideally we'd like the day to serve a genuine purpose and therefore hope that customers will bring items of some value, not in terms of their financial worth but with regard to their function. However, don't let this put you off bring your unwanted items and get prepared to swap.

You can offer donations by emailing info@buylovehere.com – we will arrange drop off and collection."

Jessie Eisenberg's Holy Rollers - Premiere

Jamie McCarthy @ WireImage

Holy Rollers is inspired by actual events in the late nineties when Hasidic Jews were recruited as mules to smuggle ecstasy from Europe into the United States. Sam Gold [Jesse Eisenberg], a young Hasid from an Orthodox Brooklyn community reluctantly follows the path his family has chosen for him, awaiting a pending arranged marriage and studying to become a Rabbi. A charming neighbor, Yosef Zimmerman [Justin Bartha], senses Sam’s resistance and propositions him to transport 'medicine' for Jackie [Danny A. Abeckaser], an Israeli dealer, and his girlfriend, Rachel [Ari Graynor].

Sam quickly demonstrates his business skill to his bosses, who instantly take Sam under their wing. Now exposed to the exciting and gritty worlds of Manhattan and Amsterdam nightlife, Sam begins to spiral deeper into their detrimental lifestyle, experimenting with ecstasy and then falling for Rachel. As the business grows, Sam’s double life begins to rip his family apart and the community becomes suspicious of his illegal activities. Sam slowly comes to realize the façade behind the easy money and parties. Caught between life as a smuggler and the path back to God, Sam goes on the run, forced to make a fatal decision that could bring the entire operation crashing down.

On red-carpet approach: People say that I'm miserable all the time. It's not that I'm miserable, it's just that somebody's yelling at me... I literally, sometimes, have to keep myself from crying... It's a physical reaction to the energy that's thrown at you.



On caring: I hate it when they say I don't give a shit, because nobody cares more than I do. I'm telling you I don't know anybody who does this that gives a shit more than I do.



On Edward versus Jacob: I would never cheapen my relationships by talking about them. People say, 'Just say who you're dating. Then people will stop being so ravenous about it.' It's like, No they won't! They'll ask for specifics.
