Ant-Man (2008)
“It’s written and we’re doing a second draft of it,” said Wright. “It’s going to be less overtly comedic than anything else I’ve ever done. It’s more of a full-on action adventure sci-fi film but with a comedic element – in the same spirit of a lot of escapist fare like that. It’s certainly not a superhero spoof or pastiche and it certainly isn’t a sort of Honey I Shrunk The Kids endeavour at all.”
He’s not got anybody in mind to play comicdom’s tiniest hero just yet, so the big question at the moment is what incarnation will the hero take - the goody-two-shoes scientist Hank Pym originated by comic legends Stan Lee and Jack Kirby or Ant Man mark-II, the more roguish Scott Lang?
“Ah well, it could be Scott Lang, it could be Hank Pym, it could be both – okay it is both, now there’s an exclusive for you.”
While Wright puts the finishing touches to his script with co-writer Joe Cornish, he’s got some other projects on the boil, including another collaboration with Simon Pegg. Could this be the final part of his so-called Three Flavours Cornetto trilogy?
“That’s one of the things that we’re going to do with Working Title who we’ve just signed a two-picture deal with,” he said. “It will have comedy and a cross-genre in a similar way. \

Scott Pilgrim's Little Life
Edgar Wright's next movie has found its lead. Michael Cera will play the title character in Scott Pilgrim's Little Life, which is very very good news.
The action comedy is based on Bryan Lee O'Malley's comic book series about a 23-year-old slacker, hero, wannabe-rocker who finds the girl of his dreams, but rather inconveniently learns that the only way to win her heart is to do battle with her seven evil ex-boyfriends. We'd think this might be a sign that the girl's trouble, but we don't write comic books, so what do we know?

Cera just signed on today, but other than that this news is kinda of old. Then again I figured not a lot of people noticed it anyway.
