Don’t say I hold back on the goodies.
If you head over to the Facebook page of the fantastic Toronto band Metric, you can hear a sneak preview of a song they recorded for the soundtrack of ‘Scott Pilgrim Vs The World’.
The track in question is the amazing ‘Black Sheep’. It was written during the sessions for their recent ‘Fantasies’ album and has been part of their live set of late.
I was thrilled that they agreed to record it for use in my film. It’s a monumental tune.
Here’s what Metric have to say about it.
Last year our genre smashing director friend Edgar Wright (Shaun of the Dead, Hot Fuzz) told us he was working on a new movie called “Scott Pilgrim vs. The World” starring Michael Cera and asked us if we’d be Interested in working with him and legendary Radiohead producer Nigel Godrlch on some music for the film. Of course, we said YES!
It just so happened we had the beginnings of a song at suited the project perfectly from our early “Fantasies” recording sessions at Bear Creek, and that song became a pivotal track in the movie, which centers around a young group of musicians.
Become a fan of METRIC on Facebook to unlock an exclusive sneak preview stream of the final version called “Black Sheep”.

Previously on Death Wish…
Death Wish (1)
In the original and really rather good instalment, mild mannered architect Charlie Bronson has his family wiped out by NYC scum. With grim results.
Death Wish 2
In the second and really quite repellent instalment, hard bitten architect Charlie Bronson has his new wife, daughter and housemaid wiped out by LA scum. With exceptionally grim results.
Death Wish 3
And showing tomorrow, the third and really quite ghetto fabulous instalment. In this one, tough as nails, former architect Charlie Bronson avenges some friends of friends that have been wiped out by Lambeth-doubling-for-NYC scum.
With mind bogglingly violent results.
You simply have to be there.
Although do not attempt a drinking game whenever a goon is shot. You will die.

This is some serious ink.
I’ve seen some incredible Shaun Of The Dead tattoos in my time and this is just as impressive.
Check out this amazing tattoo taken straight from Bryan Lee O’Malley’s artwork in Scott Pilgrim’s Precious Little Life.

Ty Tyner shares his Scott Pilgrim tat (done by Joe Kennett):
This tattoo is on my left leg in between my knee and sock line. Its from the fight between Scott Pilgrim & crew vs Matthew Patel (the final fight in book 1 of the Scott Pilgrim series). It wraps around 60% of my leg so it was hard to get just 1 shot of it looking right. Here is a panoramic styled mock up taken just soon after it was done (hence the redness).
My congrats go out to Mr. Kennet for his inkage.
And my sympathies go to Mr. Tyner for his sore leg.
I am guessing there must be some more SP tattoos out there. Love to see them.
Thanks to the amazing Alex Chenery of @DarkBunnyTees for this.
Am speechless.
Here’s some amazing poster art by the very talented Sam Gilbey for my Curzon Soho show on Feb 19th.
Please note that:
1) Bronson is twice as badass in black and white.
2) Osymyso is set to DJ on the night.
You need no further encouragement to come.
For those jonesing for more Wright Stuff presentations, I offer you a temporary and quite awesome salve.
I haven’t been able to schedule anymore double bills at the Prince Charles due to my quite insane schedule and print availability in the UK of some of my favourite cult items, but…
The good folks at Curzon Soho have asked me to do one of their Midnight Movies so I would like to cordially invite you to a Michael Winner classic.
DEATH WISH 3!
Fri 19 Feb 11:30pm | Curzon Soho, 99 Shaftesbury Avenue W1D 5DY 0871 703 3988 More details on their site.
Now, it’s easy to rag on Michael Winner, but there’s more than a couple of his films that I would applaud. ‘The Mechanic’ is a great 70′s thriller, the original ‘Death Wish’ is strong stuff and my beloved ‘The Sentinel’ is just insane.
But ‘Death Wish 3′ is…is…something else.
Come along on Feb 19th and witness the majesty of this 1985 epic.
It is shot in London doubling for New York…
It features a mail order rocket launcher…
It is the quintessential Cannon Film…
It is DEATH WISH 3. See you there.
