Some exciting news! Just read the official synopsis for Scott Pilgrim that Universal released. Here’s what it says:
Meet charming and jobless Scott Pilgrim (Michael Cera). A bass guitarist for totally average garage band Sex Bob-omb, the 22 year-old has just met the girl of his dreams… literally. The only catch to winning Ramona Flowers (Mary Elizabeth Winstead)? Her seven evil exes are coming to kill him. Genre-smashing filmmaker Edgar Wright (Hot Fuzz, Shaun of the Dead) tells the amazing story of one romantic slacker’s quest to power up with love in Scott Pilgrim vs. the World. Scott Pilgrim has never had a problem getting a girlfriend. It’s getting rid of them that proves difficult.
From the girl who kicked his heart’s ass (and now is back in town), to the teenage distraction he’s trying to shake when Ramona rollerblades into his world, love hasn’t been easy. He soon discovers, however, his new crush has the most unusual baggage of all: a nefarious league of exes controls her love life and will do whatever it takes to eliminate him as a suitor. As Scott gets closer to Ramona, he must face an increasingly vicious rogues’ gallery from her past – from infamous skateboarders to vegan rock stars and fearsomely identical twins. And if he hopes to win his true love, he must vanquish them all before it really is game over.
The link also features SP’s UK release date which is in August 2010 along with a small picture of Michael Cera holding a sword & a quote from the film featuring Scott & Ramona! (Source) (Thanks to Jessica!!)
We now have our very first official Scott Pilgrim movie still – thanks to everyone who sent it in! I’m getting really excited for the movie I must say – I really hope we’ll get a trailer or more info on the release date soon! Until then, click here to see the movie still!
I found and uploaded a super-rare exclusive picture from 1999 – it shows Mary attending the NBC Press Tour Party in Pasadena! Be sure to check it out here, it’s really cute! 
In October, Juno/Up in the Air director Jason Reitman tweeted a mini-review of an early cut of Edgar Wright’s Scott Pilgrim vs. The World, which he called “a game changer for Edgar and the genre” and “the first all encompassing film of the joystick generation.” Now Adventureland/Superbad director Greg Mottola has also seen the film, and has posted a mini-review on Twitter.
Be very jealous of me. I’ve seen an entire cut of SCOTT PILGRIM VS. THE WORLD. Edgar Wright has made a classic (again)! It’s amazing. … I would say that Scott Pilgrim is the wittiest action movie you’ll ever see, but that’s just the half of it. … Needless to say, Michael Cera is perfect. In fact, every single performance is incredible. You’ve got something special to look forward to. … The filmmaking is so insanely good, I retired halfway through the movie. (looking forward to the pension checks, tho) (Source)
I uploaded new preview pictures for Stop/Eject (the shortfilm Mary’s boyfriend, Riley Stearns, is producing) and captures from the Black Christmas DVD featurette, The Remaking Of Black Christmas – hope you enjoy them! Thanks to Jessica for the help!
