Edgar Wright Saves the World
Conversations and Talks
(120 mins)

When it was announced that Edgar Wright would be writing and directing Scott Pilgrim Vs. the World, a collective sigh of relief could be heard throughout the land. For fans of Bryan Lee O’Malley’s comic book about a Toronto bassist-scenester who must defeat his girlfriend’s seven “evil exes” in hand-to-hand, sometime band-to-band combat, there was no better choice than Wright, the man whose wonderfully skewed comic sensibility has given us the BBC (*In the US Spaced was shown on BBC America) fave Spaced, the sheer zombie brilliance of Shaun of the Dead, and the high-octane send-up Hot Fuzz. It’s simply a match made in hipster heaven.

Join Wright and special guest J.J. Abrams for a sure-to-be lively conversation about Wright’s career and an early glimpse at scenes from Scott Pilgrim Vs. the World.

    Scott is no-way a scenester! Ramona is a bit though...
  • Jessie
    Why does everything I want to go to happen everywhere I don't live? Jealous doesn't even begin to describe what I'm feeling...
  • Is this going to be filmed or recorded in any way shape or form such as a podcast or something? I really want to be able to hear what you have to say and i'd rather hear it than read a transcript....unfortunately my teleportation device has some adverse side-effects and i'd need to spend time in a compression chamber on arrival so i can't make it to LA in time.
  • outuendo
    I wish you'd come to Denver!
  • afillari
    Will this going to be available online at some point? Obviously, not all of us can make it to it, but we're interested in seeing or reading or hearing it.
  • drstrangel0ve71

  • swankyfunk
    Curse my geographical location! I hope you have some plans for NYC in the future.
  • Colin
    Maybe i'm wrong but wasn't Spaced on channel 4?
  • Already bought my tickets! I'm going with two other friends. We are excited beyond words. It's reminiscent of the time we saw you with Matt Stone 2 friggin' years ago. LA has missed you, sir!
  • SarahAC
