Michael Cera, known for his role in movies like “Superbad,” recently shared his experience filming 2010’s “Scott Pilgrim vs. the World.” In an interview with GQ, he revealed that he had an incredible time during the production, but it was difficult for him once it was over. Cera spent approximately nine months on set for the Edgar Wright-directed film. He expressed that the entire cast had a great vibe and that it was evident from the energy created by director Edgar Wright. The cast had the opportunity to rehearse together and spend a lot of time getting to know each other even before filming began.
The plot of the movie revolves around the character Scott Pilgrim, played by Michael Cera, who is a bass guitarist for a garage-rock band. He must fight his new girlfriend’s seven evil exes to win her heart and a competition for a record deal. Cera’s character goes through various challenges in the form of comic book-style battles throughout the film. The movie is based on the graphic novel series “Scott Pilgrim” by Bryan Lee O’Malley.
By the end of the filming process, Cera felt a strong attachment to his castmates, considering them his group of friends. He hoped that the bond they had developed during the production would continue even after the movie wrapped up. However, he soon realized that everyone would be moving on to work on other projects. This realization left him feeling a bit depressed. Cera said, “It all just goes away, and you’re like, ‘Where did everybody go?’”
As he got older, Cera came to accept that this is how the industry works. However, he still felt sad to lose the connection and expressed that he could have kept making “Scott Pilgrim vs. the World” forever, despite how exhausting it was to film. The experience had a lasting impact on him, and he cherishes it as one of the highlights of his career.
