You're read the earlyraves! Now... enjoy the excruciating seven-month-long wait!
A press release from Universal shot out across the land today, announcing that Edgar Wright's SCOTT PILGRIM VS. THE WORLD, based on the frighteningly brilliant comic book series by Bryan Lee O'Malley, will hit theaters on August 13th, 2010. That's just close enough to Comic Con (July 22nd - 25th) to ignite speculation that there might be an early word-of-mouth screening sometime during the big geek gathering. Not to put any pressure on Universal or anything...
For those who've yet to experience the power and the glory of O'Malley's soon-to-be-six-part tale, SCOTT PILGRIM VS. THE WORLD is an action-packed romantic comedy in which the titular character (Michael Cera) does battle with the seven evil ex-boyfriends of the lovely Ms. Ramona Flowers (Mary Elizabeth Winstead). For those who can't wait for the movie, you can buy the first five installments of O'Malley's series online, or, better yet, at your local comic book store.
Wow! Big news broke while I was writing this! Straight from Edgar Wright's Twitter...
"The 'Scott Pilgrim' trailer. Featuring all seven evil exes! Enjoy."
