Scott Pilgrim vs The World

MTV News has a new interview with Edgar Wright about his forthcoming comic book adaptation Scott Pilgrim Vs The World which opens August 2010.  The comic tells of a slacker (played in the movie by Micheal Cera) who meets the girl of his dreams but, before he can be with her, is forced to battle her seven evil ex-boyfriends.

Wright talks a bit about the tone of the film, and the changes from the comic book.  Whilst initially faithful to the book, the film's plot begins to diverge around the mid-way point, which is less surprising when you learn the later books in the series had not been completed at the time the screenplay was written.  The creator of the series, Bryan Lee O'Malley, has given his blessing to the changes however, and responses to early test screenings have been almost universally positive.
