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
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.
