Scott Pilgrim Vs. Museum of the Moving Image, New York

Here’s a ‘Scott Pilgrim’ screening at NYC’s MOMI next month that’s (very kindly) featured in a ‘Great Adaptations’ season.

Have heard rumblings of more double bills and outdoor screenings in USA, UK and Canada all this summer. Will blog all the details tout suite.

Museum of the Moving Image, New York - Great Adaptations May 21–July 3

School’s almost out, but it’s always a good time to hit the books. Here are some of the best adaptations of recent years, combining great literature with big-screen entertainment. There’s something for all ages, including Judy Moody and the Not Bummer Summer and A Little Princess for children five and up, and excellent versions of True Grit and Scott Pilgrim for tweens and teens.

Organized by Rachael Rakes, Assistant Curator of Film

Screening Details:

Scott Pilgrim vs. the World
Part of Great Adaptations

  • Sunday, June 26, 1:00 p.m.
  • Dir. Edgar Wright . 2010, 112 mins. DCP. With Michael Cera, Mary Elizabeth Winstead, Jason Schwartzman. In this thoroughly delightful film, Edgar Wright (Shaun of the Dead) inventively captures the spirit of Bryan Lee O’Malley’s graphic novel about Scott Pilgrim, a young musician who meets the girl of his dreams, Ramona Flowers. To win her, he must fight and defeat her “seven evil exes.” Rated PG-13.

      This is awesome! My birthday is on June 27, which is a monday, so seeing Scott Pilgrim @ the Museum of the Moving Image (which is awesome by itself) the weekend before should make a great birthday present to myself!

      Thought I would say this in the hope Edgar reads this, I watched Scott Pilgrim yesterday for the first time, my girlfriend thought it looked great whilst we DVD shopping, I for one hadn’t been taken in by the trailers last year. How wrong I was. It absolutely blew me away, and I sincerely wish I had been able to see this in the cinemas (I live in the UK).

      Edgar - well done for making what I believe to be one of the best films of last year, and certainly in there amongst my favourite films. Congrats!

      Canadian outdoor Scott Pilgrim showing?  I’d love The Hammer, but I’d easily jump on the train to T.dot for that one.  Me wantie!
