MTV News caught up with "Scott Pilgrim" actor Jason Schwartzman on the set of his HBO series "Bored To Death" to ask him about the reshoots.

"Yes, a little bit," responded Schwartzman when asked if he was involved in the scenes receiving some extra footage. Read More...

Edgar Wright To Shoot Extra 'Scott Pilgrim Vs. The World' Footage

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."

Brandon Routh On 'Scott Pilgrim' Bass Battles, 'Shocking' Effects, And Scenes That Surprised Him

Posted 4/29/10 11:14 am EST by in interviews, News, Oni Press

Scott Pilgrim Vs. The World"Scott Pilgrim Vs. The World" hits theaters August 18, and it's pretty safe to say that there are a lot of people out there with the day marked on their calendars, eagerly anticipating the premiere of Edgar Wright's adaptation of the hit Oni Press comic book series.

From "Scott Pilgrim" creator Bryan Lee O'Malley to comic and film creator Kevin Smith, there's been no shortage of people heaping compliments on the film ahead of its release — no small achievement, given that many questioned whether the books' kinetic, manga-influenced vibe could ever be properly translated to the big (or small) screen. But that's exactly what happened, and now Michael Cera is set to play slacker hero Scott Pilgrim as he faces off against the evil ex-lovers of his new girlfriend, Ramona Flowers (Mary Elizabeth Winstead).

While the cast is a veritable who's-who of young actors with serious cred in the geek scene, I managed to snag some time with one of the aforementioned evil exes as part of MTV's Summer Movie Preview Week to get some thoughts on the film and what we've seen of it so far. No stranger to comic book movies, Brandon Routh previously played the least-indie superhero of them all, Superman, before suiting up as Todd Ingram, the smug bassist with vegan superpowers who squares off against Scott in one of the story's biggest battles.

Scott PilgrimFans of Bryan Lee O'Malley's "Scott Pilgrim" comic book series have been dissecting the new trailer obsessively since it premiered late last week, but when we first saw it, there were a few scenes ripped straight from the comic that really stuck out to us.

Sure, it's no surprise that director Edgar Wright seems to be paying the Oni Press series lots of respect in his adaptation, but how closely certain shots appeared to mirror their comics counterparts should be a nice bonus for fans.
