If you have HBO and you’re a fan of Scott Pilgrim vs. the World, HBO premiered the movie last Saturday night. Scott Pilgrim vs. the World comes from Edgar Wright (Grindhouse, Hot Fuzz) who directed, wrote and produced this project that stars Michael Cera, Mary Elizabeth Winstead with appearances by the likes of Brandon Routh, Chris Evans (Captain America), Clifton Collins Jr. (Boondock Saints), & Thomas Jane.
The premise of the story is that Scott Pilgrim (Cera) meets this pretty young lady named Ramona Flowers (Winstead). But for him to be able to continue to date her, he is forced to confront and defeat her 7 evil ex’s. Not ex-boyfriends, ex’s. If you see the movie, you’ll understand.

Where am I going with this? No mainstream TV star will be able to pull off both productions. Unless something fantastic happens and a star is given the time. But that may not be likely. With that said, I’ve already seen conjectures that are pulling up stars from present TV series still in their production runs. (Just sayin’.)
