After an absence of almost two months, Ultra Culture Cinema exploded into London’s ICA once again on the 25th August 2010 for a special ‘Opening Night Celebration’ of Scott Pilgrim vs. The World. It was our biggest and best night yet, and for the first time we welcomed TWO sold out audiences on the same night, both eager to witness the year’s most anarchic blockbuster.
(...) our recreation of the Scott Pilgrim trailer – live on stage with a cast of audience members and a host of cardboard props constructed by yours truly. Working from hastily-written scripts, our volunteers dove head-first into the action and the result was something pretty special. Here’s a slightly blurry video:
It was time for the film to begin, but first we had a short video introduction from director general Edgar Wright and the stupidly beautiful Scott Pilgrim cast. I won’t make it less special for the people who were there by sticking it on Youtube, but here’s an outtake in which Wright forgets the name of his own movie:Read the excellent write up over at Ultra Culture here http://www.ultraculture.co.uk/4087-august-25th-scott-pilgrim-vs-the-world.htm

Michael Cera, Jason Schwartzman, Kieran Culkin and Mary Elizabeth Winstead talk to Xan Brooks ahead of next Wednesday's release of Scott Pilgrim Vs the World. The cast reveal their break-up nightmares, and respond to some of the questions you posted on the blog.

Film4 talk to the stars of Scott Pilgrim Vs The World, including Michael Cera and Jason Schwartzman, and director Edgar Wright The feature also includes interviews with Anna Kendrick, Mary Elizabeth Winstead and Kieran Culkin "Kinetic pop-culture bliss for video-gaming slacker 20-somethings, and indeed anybody in tune with that world. Edgar Wright can rest easy knowing he's done the original comics as much justice as anybody could have hoped."It started with a photo of 6 ticket stubs uploaded 4 days ago...

More info on the game and the Scott Pilgrim Avatar items here.[gallery] Okay. I thought Scott Pilgrim Vs The Matrix was the best trailer mash up yet. I was wrong. Behold. Fun Fact:Mae Whitman appears in both Scott Pilgrim as Roxy Richter and in The Last Airbender (animation) as the voice of Katara; one a nemesis and the other a friend. This is very funny. But note to Charlie Lyons. It's espresso, not tea. Look at the size of that cup, man! So finally 'Scott Pilgrim Vs The World' gets its release today in cinemas all over the United Kingdom and Ireland. For all those who complained that they had to wait, I can only apologise. However to celebrate the release of the film, I would like to treat you to a little nugget from the eventual DVD / Blu Ray. This is a piece of animation that my amazing brother Oscar did way back in June 2008 to explain the physics of the battle between Scott Pilgrim and Matthew Patel. I think you'll agree that all movies should be plotted out in this fashion from now on. So enjoy this nascent version of an amazing air juggle and enjoy the finished version in cinemas TONIGHT.* (*Or another night this week, am not fussy.)

Sam & Marc caught up with Edgar Wright at Screen on the Green, for a quick chat about Scott Pilgrim Vs. The World, the Universal Pictures logo and video game adaptations. Edgar also signed a Scott Pilgrim poster, so listen in for details on how to win that. A huge thanks to Edgar Wright, our friends at Universal Pictures, Everyman Cinemas and City Screen Ltd. http://www.everymancinema.com http://www.picturehouses.co.uk http://www.scottpilgrimthemovie.comOriginally posted here http://soundcloud.com/picturehouses/edgar-wright-interview Scott Pilgrim Special with Edgar Wright by Picturehouses One of these films is shot by Bill Pope. The other is shot by Bill Pope. Both star Torontonians. But which is which? Thanks to AEmovieguy for this hilarious mash up. True story. Bill Pope also shot the Freaks & Geeks pilot. I once suggested to him that Scott Pilgrim Vs The World would be equidistant between Freak & Geeks and The Matrix. Funny.
