The Blot loves me some Scott Pilgrim, and this new teaser one sheet movie poster, released last week at SXSW, rocks! Fans have gone gaga over everything Scott Pilgrim ever since creator Bryan Lee O’Malley released his first SP graphic novel back in 2004, and 2010 is shaping up to be a huge year for the character. At this point, I’m not sure if I’m more excited for the release of the 6th and final graphic novel in the Scott Pilgrim series, Scott Pilgrim’s Finest Hour, or the first live action movie adaptation of the series, Scott Pilgrim vs. The World.
For those of you unfamiliar with the Canadian slacker, here’s the skinny: “Scott Pilgrim's life is awesome. He's 23 years old, in a rock band, between jobs, and dating a cute high school girl. Everything's fantastic until a seriously mind-blowing, dangerously fashionable, rollerblading delivery girl named Ramona Flowers starts cruising through his dreams and sailing by him at parties. But the path to Ms. Flowers isn't covered in rose petals. Ramona's seven evil ex-boyfriends stand in the way between Scott and true happiness. Can Scott beat the bad guys and get the girl without turning his life upside-down?”
The Scott Pilgrim live action movie, Scott Pilgrim vs. The World, stars Michael Cera as Scott Pilgrim, Mary Elizabeth Winstead as Ramona V. Flowers, Kieran Culkin as Wallace Wells, Chris Evans as Lucas Lee, Anna Kendrick as Stacey Pilgrim, Brandon Routh as Todd Ingram, Alison Pill as Kim Pine, Jason Schwartzman as Gideon Gordon Graves, Ellen Wong as Knives Chau, Satya Bhabha as Matthew Patel, and Mark Webber as Stephen Stills. The film is scheduled to premiere on August 13, 2010.
Scott Pilgrim Volume 6, Scott Pilgrim’s Finest Hour, will be released on July 20, 2010 at bookstores everywhere.
