So, where is everything at with "Scott Pilgrim"? MTV News got the scoop straight from Wright about the status of the much-anticipated film.

"We've shown it a bunch of times and you go through that test-screening process, which is really interesting," he explained. "We've done four of those now and we keep tweaking based on that." Read More...

More 'Scott Pilgrim' Video Game Images And Info Hit The 'Net!

Posted 6/8/10 5:31 pm EST by in News, Oni Press


Scott PilgrimWe first told you about the upcoming "Scott Pilgrim" video game way back in August 2009, and it's hard to believe the wait is almost over for the retro-tastic, interactive journey through Scott Pilgrim's universe.

Over at GameInformer, they've posted four new images from the game, as well as a hands-on review of the game, which will be available as a downloadable Playstation Network exclusive this August — right in time for the film's release. (Don't worry, Xbox Nation, it will be available on the 360 at some point, too — though I'm so happy I own a PS3 right now.)

The images offer a great look at the visual tone of the game, which is appropriately old-school in both graphics and gameplay style. According to the report, the four-player brawler doesn't feature online play, but it does give you control of Scott Pilgrim, Ramona Flowers, Kim Pine, or Stephen Stills. Publisher Ubisoft hinted at some unlockable characters down the road, too. Read More...

Posted 5/5/10 2:14 pm EST by in News, Oni Press


Scott PilgrimEdgar Wright's adaptation of Bryan Lee O'Malley's "Scott Pilgrim" is going back in front of the cameras, despite an extremely positive response from test screenings and high praise from his fellow filmmakers.

Earlier this week, Production Weekly reported that the cast and crew of "Scott Pilgrim Vs. The World" will return to Toronto for three days of pickup scenes.

"We are doing 3 days of pick ups," Wright confirmed to Collider. "And to be honest — I’m excited about it. It was my suggestion to the studio and the bits and pieces are all things that I want to tweak. Truth is, some of it, is because we have material from Vol 6 that is impossible to resist and so even after a nearly a year of editing — it’s going to be fun to put some icing on the cake."
