Universal Pictures released the first two official photos from their upcoming Scott Pilgrim vs. The World and they bring with them nothing but pure excitation.

The film follows Scott Pilgrim (Michael Cera), bass guitarist for the garage band Sex Bob-omb, who becomes infatuated with the bewitching Romana Flowers (Mary Elizabeth Winstead). Delivering generic love stories a blow to the kisser, this story plays out like none ever told. In order to date the precious Ms. Flowers, Scott must defeat her seven evil ex-boyfriends. Defeat-defeat. With flaming swords and stuff.

As an added bonus, because we just love the trainwreck that is Jersey Shore, we get Michael Cera as a guido and really, we mean that in the best way possible.
