The one summer movie that most of the DVDTalk review panel is really anticipating is Scott Pilgrim Vs. The World. Based on a series of graphic novels created by Bryan Lee O'Malley, the film is directed by Edgar Wright and stars Michael Cera. DVDTalk writer Tyler Foster had a chance to sit down with Wright, Cera and supporting actress Anna Kendrick to talk about the movie and the source material, and the slowed-down cut of the film. Read the entire interview here.

There are a few new releases this week that you won't want to miss. Check out these hot titles: Kick-Ass [ Blu-ray review] - visceral violence, dark humor, and a ten year old girl laying waste to an army of goons while she swears up a storm... what more could you want?; The First Films of Akira Kurosawa [DVD review] - four rarely seen early films created by the acclaimed director during WWII; and A Prophet [DVD review, Blu-ray review] - a brooding, assured picture, and if the labyrinthine plotline detracts, the execution never wavers.
