Quite simply, this is the best audition tape ever. I give you the 8 year old Abigail Chu as Trasha.
It’s worth pointing out that Abigail learnt the drums just for the audition. And of course, she got the job. I think the bird sealed it.
More fun like this on the ‘Scott Pilgrim’ BluRay / DVD out in just two weeks in US/CAN.
To celebrate the upcoming DVD / BluRay release I am very happy to announce a signing and FREE screening of Scott Pilgrim Vs. The World in Toronto.

Like the title says, here’s some of the art that I got Bryan to do at gunpoint during the production of the film. Enjoy.
the scribble
I did four or five versions of the scribble, some of which looked more like Ramona and some more like a scribble. This one is satisfyingly abstract.
There’s no hard copy original. Also there is no word hidden in her hair. It is literally a scribble; I scribbled it. On my wacom tablet.
The screenplay at that time simply said “Scott sketches a drawing of Ramona” and I believe the comically incomprehensible scribble was my suggestion.
Mighty Fine has this on a grey t-shirt here.
shirts
Some t-shirt designs. “Honey Dear” and “Brown Bear” were my old bands. I don’t think they showed up in the movie, nor did my (legit!) Napster drawing.
Air quotes shirt (mens) here.
Air quotes shirt (womens) here.
Bird shirt here.
If you want the Punisher-esque shirt, you’ll have to fight Brandon Routh for it
girl number
I don’t remember which one was used in the final production, but here’s one of the versions of Ramona’s phone number. I didn’t make up the number, it was just given to me by the clearance dept. Drawn with a real sharpie on actual paper but I think I threw out the originals (they smelled like sharpie).
star mug
I don’t remember which one was in the film, but for whatever reason I was asked to do designs for the mugs in Ramona’s apartment (when they drink tea). The star is Ramona’s symbol and the X is for the exes.

Join the lovely Mark Webber (Stephen Stills in ‘Scott Pilgrim Vs The World’) on his constant quest for love.

Back in July 2010, Indaba Music ran a competition to remix a score track from ‘Scott Pilgrim Vs The World’, here’s what they said back then.
Scott Pilgrim vs. the World is one of the hottest films of the year and now is your chance to get involved. Scott must battle seven evil exes to win the woman of his dreams. Celebrated producer and composer Nigel Godrich (Radiohead’s producer!) has created the original fight score for Scott.
Using as many or as few of the sounds and dialogue audio as you want, remix your own version of the fight theme for Scott. The winners will be selected by the director, Edgar Wright, and will receive an outstanding prize package worth thousands of dollars in gear!
Then this week, I picked from thousands of amazing remixes, the following three winners.
The Judges have spoken:
I am overwhelmed by the remixes for ‘FIGHT!’ on this site. The mixes by all the finalists were extraordinary. It was very hard to judge I have to say. So I am going to give a gold, silver and bronze to John Faustus, Yasu. Y and Suraj Sreedharan. But I am also going to raise a glass to my honorable mentions- all of you did amazing work.
LEVEL UP to you all. 7,000,000,000,000 PTS.
Edgar Wright
Winners
You can find my ten equally amazing honourable mentions, more remixes and the remixers profiles at Indaba Music‘s Scott Pilgrim page here.
By popular demand the New Beverly Cinema in Los Angeles have added two more midnight screenings of Scott Pilgrim Vs The World on Nov 12th and 13th.
They should be fun shows, as I will be there along with the amazing Doug Benson, lots of fun giveaways and perhaps more guests still.
November 12th is already sold out with only the standby line on the night for more tickets.
November 13th is on sale now. Buy your tickets here!
