SCOTT PILGRIM VS. THE WORLD Filmmakers and Cast to Appear at Special Events in Los Angeles, Toronto, Boston, and New York for Upcoming DVD/Blu-ray

Call it a rematch.  The filmmakers and cast of Scott Pilgrim vs. The World are hitting the road again, this time to celebrate the film’s release on Blu-ray and DVD.  You may remember that the film made an impressive tour when the movie was released back in August (they may have even appeared on your local news).  Said co-writer and director Edgar Wright: “To say thank you to the fans who have supported us, I am very excited to bring special screenings and autograph signing events with me and the cast to Los Angeles, Toronto, Boston and New York.”

Be sure to say thank you for the great film if you live in those cities, or just say thanks by picking up the movie on Blu-ray or DVD when it hits on November 9th.  Hit the jump for more details on the upcoming tour.

Michael Cera and Jason Schwartzman Video Interview SCOTT PILGRIM VS. THE WORLD

by Steve 'Frosty' Weintraub    Posted: August 12th, 2010 at 3:34 pm

Opening tomorrow is writer/director Edgar Wright’s Scott Pilgrim vs. The World.  As I’ve said many times, I think Scott Pilgrim is one of the best films of the year and a classic in every sense of the word.  As you’ve probably noticed, we’ve been posting tons of interviews with the cast.  Here’s some links: Mark Webber/Alison Pill, Brandon Routh/Satya Bhabha, Mary Elizabeth Winstead/Ellen Wong, director Edgar Wright and Kieran Culkin/Aubrey Plaza.

On top of the print interviews, we got to talk to almost everyone on camera. Since the interviews were done the day after Comic-Con, I spent most of the time talking about the awesome “Scott Pilgrim Experience” that Universal set up outside the convention and what was it like being there.  Also, during my interview with Michael Cera and Jason Schwartzman, I asked them if they actually made any t-shirts for the fans, and I found out Schwartzman’s real coat was used as a model for Scott Pilgrims coat in the movie.  I’ll let Cera and Schwartzman explain after the jump:

Director Edgar Wright Exclusive Video Interview SCOTT PILGRIM VS. THE WORLD

by Steve 'Frosty' Weintraub    Posted: August 12th, 2010 at 2:21 pm

In an era where movie studios seem to be recycling the same ideas, Scott Pilgrim vs. The World is a breath of fresh air.  Based on the awesome graphic novel by Bryan Lee O’Malley, Scott Pilgrim has been brilliantly brought to life by Edgar Wright (Shaun of the Dead, Hot Fuzz, Spaced) and it’s not only a showcase of what he can do as a writer/director, it completely breaks the mold of the way to tell a story on screen.  That’s because Wright has found a innovative way of telling the story and it involves fast editing and insanely quick transitions from scene to scene that feel like you’re inside a comic book.   I truly believe Scott Pilgrim is going to influence a generation of filmmakers as I’ve never seen anything like it.  I’m beyond impressed, and I strongly recommend buying a ticket this weekend.

Anyway, last week I got to sit down with Wright for an extended interview.  If you’re a fan of this great director or just really looking forward to Scott Pilgrim vs. The World, I really think you’ll love the interview as we covered a wide range of subjects like the writing process,  how they came up with the awesome transitions and the editing in general, Comic-Con, Scott Pilgrim t-shirts, the premiere at the Chinese Theater in Hollywood, deleted scenes and extended cuts, can he make a movie more than every three years, and we talk future projects but he says no progress has been made on Ant-Man or any other project since July 2008.  Hit the jump to check it out.

Edgar Wright, Michael Cera, and Jason Schwartzman On Set Interview SCOTT PILGRIM VS. THE WORLD – Read or Listen Here

by Matt Goldberg    Posted: May 25th, 2010 at 12:02 am

This should really be called a “mega-interview”.  On the set of Scott Pilgrim vs. The World we got to sit down and talk with co-writer and director Edgar Wright for 45 minutes.  Michael Cera and Jason Schwartzman, who play Scott Pilgrim and Gideon Gordon Graves, joined us midway through the interview.  In-depth doesn’t really cover it.  We talked about the tonality of the film to why Wright picked Cera to play the lead to the role music plays in the film to the power of espresso and beyond.  It’s a long interview but it’s worth your time, especially if you’re excited out of your mind for this movie (like I am).

Hit the jump to read or listen the interview.  Scott Pilgrim vs. The World hits theaters on August 13th.

Edgar Wright and Bill Pope at the Bloor for One Night Only

Before principal photography commenced on “Scott Pilgrim vs. The World”, Edgar Wright treated the citizens of Toronto to his patented “Wright Stuff” film festival with glorious movies and Q&As designed to make the rest of us question are patriotism and defect to Canada.  If you lived in Toronto and for whatever reason never made one of these screenings, fear not.  You have one more chance and you best not fuck it up.  Hit the jump to find out how to atone for your sin.
