'Scott Pilgrim' Sex Bob-Omb Trio Describe Their 'Unique Relationship' To Their Characters

Posted 8/13/10 5:01 pm EST by in News, Oni Press

The long wait is over. After years of development, director Edgar Wright has finally brought "Scott Pilgrims vs. The World" to theaters.

If you've already seen the film — and let's assume that if you haven't seen it yet, you're planning on seeing it tonight — you already know just how engrossing each and every actor in the "Scott Pilgrim" cast truly is. From the central roles of Michael Cera as Scott and Mary Elizabeth Winstead as Ramona, to evil ex's like Chris Evans as Lucas Lee and Brandon Routh as Todd Ingram, everyone brings an enormous amount of talent and personality to the "Scott Pilgrim" table.

And just because they're mostly relegated to the sidelines of "Scott Pilgrim" action, the Sex Bob-Omb trio of Mark Webber as Stephen Stills, Johnny Simmons as Young Neil and Alison Pill as Kim Pine are no less investedin their characters. Read More...

'Scott Pilgrim' Actress Mary Elizabeth Winstead 'Felt Bad' For Ramona Flowers

Posted 8/13/10 1:59 pm EST by in News, Oni Press, Video

When "Scott Pilgrim vs. The World" was officially optioned way back in 2005, one of the first questions on the minds of the fans was who could possibly do justice to Ramona Flowers — the object of Scott's affections — on the big screen.

And while fans didn't get their first glimpse of Mary Elizabeth Winstead as Ramona until early last year, even Winstead was surprised to discover that she could be transformed into Bryan Lee O'Malley's unique comic book heroine.

"I really didn't even know that I could look like that," Winstead told MTV News. "I think Edgar [Wright] knew (more than I did) that I could put on this wig, this outfit and this makeup and be a completely different person. I was kind of amazed when I first put on the outfit. I was like 'Oh my god! I'm Ramona. This is insane!' So yeah, I was very surprised that I was able to pull it off." Read More...

How Two 'Scott Pilgrim' Evil Ex's Stayed True To The Comic (And What They Added)

Posted 8/13/10 10:31 am EST by in News, Oni Press

"Scott Pilgrim" Vs. The World" is officially in theaters here in the U.S., meaning the wait is over for everyone eagerly anticipating Edgar Wright's adaptation of Bryan Lee O'Malley's popular comic book series.

Of course, that also means that the comic's legions of fans will soon have a chance to judge whether the live-action film measures up to its source material — a pressure that "Scott Pilgrim" actors Satya Bhabha (who plays evil ex #1, Matthew Patel) and Brandon Routh (evil ex #3, Todd Ingram) were well aware of when making the movie.

"There was certainly pressure," said Bhabha when I asked him during this year's Comic-Con in San Diego if the cast felt the weight of fan expectations. Read More...

'Scott Pilgrim Vs. The World' Cast Reflect On Edgar Wright's Vision For The Film

Posted 8/12/10 5:59 pm EST by in News, Oni Press

Just as the world of "Scott Pilgrim" wouldn't be possible without Bryan Lee O'Malley, the forthcoming film adaptation would be vastly different without the directorial supervision of Edgar Wright. The "Shaun of the Dead" and "Hot Fuzz" filmmaker had a very specific vision for "Scott Pilgrim vs. The World," a vision that the film's cast fully embraced with open arms.

"He has a vision and he's very precise — he knows exactly what he wants," actress Aubrey Plaza told MTV News about working with Wright. "For me, it was kind of about figuring out what I wanted to bring and combine that with his vision and kind of nail it. It's all about timing with him. It was a learning experience for me, and it was challenging, but it was a really, really good experience." Read More...

Scott PilgrimLet me get this out of the way right at the start: I love this new "Scott Pilgrim Vs. The World" poster. I love it as much as I like cake — and I am a cake fiend.

Posted 8/12/10 11:16 am EST by in Oni Press

When the first "Scott Pilgrim" trailer hit the 'Net, we compared some of our favorite scenes to their counterparts in the comic. Sure, it came as no surprise to anyone who's been following along at home, but Edgar Wright's upcoming film shares a lot of imagery with Bryan Lee O'Malley's wildly popular Oni Press comic.

New 'Scott Pilgrim' Clip: 'I Was Just A Little Bi-Curious'

Posted 8/12/10 9:46 am EST by in Oni Press

Okay, so this clip feels a little spoilery, so I won't be angry if you decide not to watch it before checking out "Scott Pilgrim Vs. The World" this weekend. However, if you're willing to throw caution to the wind, you can see Scott Pilgrim (Michael Cera), Ramona Flowers (Mary Elizabeth Winstead), and Roxy Richter (Mae Whitman) in the latest clip from Edgar Wright's upcoming film based on Bryan Lee O'Malley's hit comic book series.

Of course, if you want to check out more clips from "Scott Pilgrim" (or just skip this one entirely), you're in luck. We've posted a few of them already, with more to come! Read More...

Posted 8/11/10 4:31 pm EST by in Oni Press

"Scott Pilgrim Vs. The World" hits theaters this week, and when it does, audiences will be treated to more than just a live-action adaptation of Bryan Lee O'Malley's popular comic book series — they'll also get some great music, too.

During this year's Comic-Con, I had a chance to sit down with two members of Sex Bob-Omb, Scott Pilgrim's band in the series, as well as the band's first-ever fan, to discuss the musical side of their "Scott Pilgrim" training.

In the film, Mark Webber and Alison Pill play bandmates Stephen Stills (vocals/guitar) and Kim Pine (drums), while Johnny Simmons plays Young Neil, the band's biggest (and at the start, only) fan. Read More...
