new short film “Bitter Orange” before the screening!————————————————————
“Scott Pilgrim is a breathless rush of a movie that jumps off the screen, spins your head around and then stealthily works its way into your heart. Don’t worry too much about hugging and learning and stuff. Just revel in those clutter-free last moments when two people finally get enough of a grip on who they are to make an honest, human connection. It’s a game-changer.”
- Peter Travers, Rolling Stone————————————————————

BFI Members were informed yesterday late afternoon that they could book tickets to your birthday extravaganza on 18 April. We’ve held some tickets on the system for non-members to book (it’s usually a members only series) as we figured your many twitter followers would be a bit miffed to not get a look in.
In order for non-members to book, the need to call the box office on 02079283232 and answer the question ‘who co-wrote Shaun of the Dead with Edgar Wright?’. (A nice easy question)

Hey there. So I have a music video playing in New York’s Museum Of The Moving Image very soon. The Spectacle: The Music Video exhibition which debuted in Cincinnati in 2012 opens very soon and features my 2003 video for Mint Royale.
I’m not going to make the grand opening, but I hope I get to see this fantastic exhibition very soon. If you go, let me know how it is.
Click here to go straight to their website!
New York, NY, March 14, 2023 — Museum of the Moving Image is pleased to announce the opening of Spectacle: The Music Video on April 3, 2013. This groundbreaking exhibition explores music video as an important and influential art form in contemporary culture and is the most comprehensive museum exhibition on music videos presented to date. Spectacle highlights the form’s place at the forefront of creative technology, its role in pushing the boundaries of innovative production, its important role as an experimental sandbox for filmmakers, and its lasting effects on popular culture globally. The exhibition features more than 300 videos, presented alongside artifacts and interactive experiences, and will be installed in the Museum’s 4,000 sq.-ft. changing exhibitions gallery, amphitheater gallery, and other spaces.
Spectacle: The Music Video, on view through June 16, 2013, is curated by Jonathan Wells and Meg Grey Wells of Flux, a global creative community and collective that programs film and art events around the world, and was organized by the Contemporary Arts Center in Cincinnati, where it debuted in March 2012.
Through a mixture of interactive installations, projections, video, objects, and immersive environments, Spectacle takes the visitor behind the scenes of seminal moments in music video history—from the early pioneers and MTV masters who expertly used the medium to define their public identities, like Devo, Beastie Boys, David Bowie, and Madonna, to artists like OK Go and Lady Gaga who follow in their footsteps today. The exhibition, designed by Alexei Tylevich and his team at Logan, an award-winning New York- and Los Angeles-based creative studio and production company, is presented thematically and features original objects and ephemera that have never before been seen outside of the videos themselves.
“Music and the moving image have been linked since the dawn of sound, from Vitaphone shorts and concert documentaries to MTV and the web. Today, when the success of a viral video can make a hit song, the power and cultural significance of the music video are as strong as ever,” said Carl Goodman, the Museum’s Executive Director.

Scott Pilgrim Vs. The World is 730 days old. To celebrate this 2nd anniversary of the film’s release why not head down to the New Beverly’s regular monthly midnight screening of the film.
Head on down this Friday 17th August’s midnighter. In the past the screenings have been attended by many of the film’s crew, cast and even myself! I’m not in LA this week so will be sadly missing out. But you never know who might turn up…

‘Shaun Of The Dead’ is showing at one of my favourite cinemas, my local in fact, on Saturday, August the 25th as a midnight show. I heartily approve.
If you’ve never been to the renovated ‘Screen On The Green’, I highly recommend it.
For More information hit up the Everyman Cinema’s site or click here to book tickets now.
Not too long from now, in the mystical borough of Hammersmith & Fulham, ‘Scott Pilgrim’ is having an outdoor screening…
Friday 31st: Scott Pilgrim Vs. The World
31st August and 1st & 2nd September / FULHAM
We’re moving up in the world and visiting Fulham on 31 August and 1 and 2 of September. We’re in Bishops Park which is right next to the Thames and just in front of Craven Cottage. The park’s just a few minute walk from Putney Bridge underground station. We wondered if we should try and make things a little classier and maybe make it a black tie event, but how much classier can you get than Scott Pilgrim vs. The World, Fight club and Donnie Darko? It’s going to be epic as our friends at Tucker’s Exotics like to say!

Those good people at Alamo Drafthouse Cinema have kindly asked me to come an open their new church of cinema. I said yes.
I have always had a great time in Austin and with any Alamo screening I’ve done; be it ‘Shaun’, ‘Fuzz’, ‘Spaced’, ‘Scott Pilgrim’ and ‘Attack The Block’.
So join me for an epic triple bill at the new Alamo on Slaughter Lane. See you very soon, TX.
Who is the man behind the world’s first and best rom-zom-com? Who is the man who made a movie with a plotline centered around 1991’s Point Break? Who is the man who made the best movie adaptation of a Canadian graphic novel ever? Why, the charmingly English Edgar Wright of course!
We’ve been working with Edgar on the best possible programming to showcase his dynamic filmography and we’ve come up with fantastical weekend of movies to honor the grand opening of our brand new Slaughter Lane location. Wright has been to all of the other Austin Alamo locations over the years for special events and just to hang out and enjoy a local brew and pizza pie along with a flick. So he wanted to come down and help us break in the new digs with style over our opening weekend!
Wright sets the bar and sets it high for witty dialogue, hilarious pop culture references and above all entertainment. Every frame of every thing Wright’s touched is filled to the brim with great joy and even greater fun. The man is as much of a manic film fan as we are here at the Alamo and we are so thrilled to welcome him back to the Lone Star state to show off our new killer-plant themed location in South Austin!
Edgar Wright will be appearing LIVE at the following special events at our newest Alamo Drafthouse location:
Friday March 23rd- SCOTT PILGRIM VS. THE WORLD Dinner Party with Edgar Wright
SOLD OUT!Friday March 23rd- SCOTT PILGRIM VS. THE WORLD with Edgar Wright

[Tickets]
Midnight Madness: Landmark Theatre, Houston

Dates: March 2nd & 3rd, 2012
UPDATE: Wednesday 25th January, 2012.
I’m afraid there’s some good news, bad news for attendees of the London Comedy Festival this weekend.
I am currently in LA writing my next movie with Simon Pegg and we are both working furiously around his duties on the Starship Enterprise. So sadly I can no longer attend the event in person on London as originally planned.
So I guess the good news is that writing is going very well, the bad news is that I was really hoping to be back in London and see you all.
Instead I plan to make it up to the crowd with a Q&A by Skype and with a VERY SPECIAL GUEST IN TOW. No prizes for guessing who.
Myself and my surprise guest will also be interviewed by Empire magazine’s Chris Hewitt, who will field questions from the live audience and via Twitter.
So, huge huge apologies for those ticket holders who had been promised the doubled with me in person. I will be there very much in spirit and am already planning to doing a second bonus event in person with LoCo and the BFI.
Tickets holders can contact the BFI box office if you do need a refund, though I hope you will still come along to enjoy the film and the Skype Q&A. Box office number is 020 7928 3232.
The good folks at the BFI can also let any ticket holders when the future in-person event will be and make sure you’re the first to know. More details here.
Again, my profound apologies. But I promise to answer all your questions this Saturday!

LoCo presents: The London Comedy Film Festival
LoCo is delighted to welcome Edgar Wright as our first LoCo Hero, an annual celebration of the finest contemporary comedy film-makers. As director of Spaced, Shaun of the Dead, Hot Fuzz and Scott Pilgrim vs. The World; as co-writer of Tintin; and as co-producer of Attack The Block and Sightseers, Edgar is one of the most influential and inspiring figures in British cinema. Join us to celebrate his career with this unique double bill, chosen by Edgar himself, twinning his brilliant breakthrough feature with Mike Leigh’s Life Is Sweet.
Edgar proved his gift for parody in his Channel 4 series Spaced. But, like An American Werewolf in London, Shaun of the Dead is both a parody and a terrific example of its genre. It’s also full of great performances, not just from Frost and Pegg but also Bill Nighy and Kate Ashfield, who shows a sweet, bewildered tenderness as Liz. Join Edgar for a unique celebration of his breakthrough rom-zom-com. And don’t forget to kill Philip. The screening will be followed by a Q&A.
Join LoCo, Edgar Wright and friends in the benugo Bar and Kitchen 8pm - midnight.
Shaun of the Dead + Edgar Wright and guests
The acclaimed comedy director introduces a screening of his debut feature film.
Full listings and tickets available here.
Edgar Wright introduces a screening of Mike Leigh’s tragi-comic family drama
One of the triumphs of Shaun of the Dead is the way it combines spectacular zombie action with a witty, well observed portrait of contemporary London life; in Edgar’s own words: “what if zombies attacked in the middle of a Mike Leigh film?”. A key inspiration for Shaun of the Dead, Life Is Sweet tells one family’s story over a hot London summer. Andy is a chef who dreams of freedom and has just bought a decrepit burger van. Wendy has taken a job at the world’s worst French restaurant. And Nicola is having sex with David Thewlis, smeared with chocolate spread. Love, ambition, liver and lager come together in one of Mike Leigh’s best-loved films.
Join LoCo, Edgar Wright and friends in benugo Bar and Kitchen 8pm - midnight.
