If you’ve ever wondered what it took for stars like Anna Kendrick, Aubrey Plaza, Brie Larson, and Kieran Culkin to land some of their earlier roles, look no further. Recently unearthed audition tapes for “Scott Pilgrim vs. The World” offer a glimpse into the casting process of the 2008 cult classic.
While many of the actors have gone on to become household names, these tapes feature a pre-“Twilight” Anna Kendrick, Aubrey Plaza before “Parks and Rec,” and certainly before Brie Larson had an Oscar on her mantle. For a more recent reunion, be sure to watch EW’s table read with the cast to see them jump back into the roles they first made famous 10 years ago.
And of course, be sure to watch closely for anything that may have caught casting’s eye back then—maybe you can learn a thing or two from the early auditions of these now-superstars.
