Scott Pilgrim: Movie Vs. Comics


There are currently 5 volumes available for Bryan Lee O'Malley's Scott Pilgrim series of comic books, but if you've read them, you know it hasn't reached its conclusion just yet. But don't worry, when the 6th one comes out, it won't be a spoiler for the movie. O'Malley writers on his twitter: "None of Vol 6 is in the movie. Note that I haven't finished writing it yet, but they're already making a movie. Their ending is their ending."

They used O’Malley’s ideas and suggestions for the film’s final act, but he admits that some of those plans may have changed while he’s writing the sixth book.

Bryan says that while he is “Totally Pleased With The Movie,” some of the “Subplots from 6 books do not fit in one 2-hour movie, and I’m glad my adaptors know this.” O’Malley listed off a bunch of subplots and characters not included in the movie such as Knives Chau’s father, Scott’s friend Lisa Miller and the battle at Honest Ed’s discount store.

"Scott Pilgrim vs. the World" hits theaters some time next year. Hopefully we will be getting a teaser trailer by the end of the summer.
More news to come! Catch ya' later!

Thanks Alan!
I remember this post way back when from the Solar Sentinel.

I hadn't read the Scott Pilgrim comics back then and didn't know what to make of them. Now that I have read them, I am excited for the movie and can truly appreciate that classic post.

Thanks again!
