Tired of endless Scott Pilgrim related news?! Well fear not cause..oh..oops..no... You'll have something to fear again... This is yet another Scott Pilgrim news :P
It seems like Edgar Wright and his team got pretty creative with their brand new trailer for Scott Pilgrim vs. the World... with this interactive Trailer!
This is one of the most original and creative trailers I've seen on the web! Great work guys! *thumbs up* I've probably spent more time with this than the actual trailer's length! :P
More news for Scott Pilgrim! There's not only gonna be a Scott Pilgrim movie, now there's gonna be an animated feature as well!
Scott Pilgrim vs the Animation will be a 2-part short animated to air on August 12th on [adult swim] (and probably be released later on the movie DVD/Bluray). Now, if you're asking me what the heck is Scott Pilgrim, I think I already covered that in that post.
This animated project is overseen by both Bryan Lee O’Malleyand Edgar Wright. The idea seems to have come from those 2 and at Universal, and will be a good way to give life to a scene that was scrapped from the movie. The toon will be animated by an ex-Cartoon Network studio that works for [adult swim] now. The voice over will be done by the movie actors.
Anyway, here's some screens to see how faithful the artstyle will be:
Scott Pilgrim's coming to the theatres in August 13-25 (depending where you live). Whaaaa~t? You don't know Scott Pilgrim vs. The World?
Here's a super quick run down, for newcomers:
It's an indie canadian comic about a slacker 20~something guy who has to defeat all of his new girlfriend's past evil exes! Yeah. "Just" that!
It's a very fun and random black & white comic made by Bryan Lee O'Malley.
I'm a big fan of indie comics and this was one heckuva ride, if you don't know it! It's draw very manga-like, as a choice made by the artist. It's sort of an homage/parody/tribute to shonen mangas, where the characters got some developments here and there, then spend most of their time fighting a bunch of bad guys and getting stronger all the time. Oh, and there's a lot of reference to Canada & pop culture, so in some way it's a manga designed for a generation who grew up with videogames, 80s/90s flicks & music, etc...
Here's some pages:
And now's the trailer to the live adaptation by Edgar Wright, director and creator of Spaced, Hot Fuzz and Shaun of the Dead:
Looks...intense! And fun! And pretty random! Quite faithful I'd say! Wooah!
Here's some more Scott Pilgrim-a-tion! Gaming references to find in the books:
