Gisteren verscheen er op het PlayStation Network de zeer vermakelijke en bijna oldskool Scott Pilgrim vs. the World, en aankomende vrijdag (wij moeten wachten tot 16 september) gaat de gelijknamige film in de Amerikaanse bioscopen draaien. Dus word er nog even een klein eind offensief gedaan door de PR van de film studio's, zo gaf Edgar Wright dit interview aan de website comingsoon. En verscheen er het onderstaande video interview.

CS: I think the video game references are the most interesting thing, since they cover everything form the beginning of video games to those from five or six years ago. In some ways, it shows how young people growing up playing video games might deal with the world. But we only see this moment in time and we never see how Scott might be in 20 years, whether he'll grow to be a responsible adult or not. We just see the transition point in his life.

Wright: Yeah, I think that's what's interesting about it for me. Even without giving too much away about the end of the film, you're still seeing him make another leap into the unknown. It's unclear at the end exactly what's going to happen after the end credits roll and I like that, it ends on a question mark, but that's what's interesting about it. In some way, you can see in the film the way that video games govern Scott Pilgrim's life both for good and bad. The good side of it is that he has this extreme confidence in any adventure, whether it be romantic or kind of dangerous. The downside to it is that maybe if he hadn't been playing too many adventure games, he treats the people in his life like sort of characters along the way that are like bit players and doesn't really think long and hard enough about their feelings. Certainly, it's one of the things I think is interesting about the character is he is flawed, and he kind of barrels through the first two-thirds of the film like he's the hero of the movie inside his own head and some of the mistakes he makes, he has to face up to the responsibility of his actions. I really like that idea. I like that he makes mistakes and they come back to haunt him, both through how he deals with the Knives relationship and also that he bemoans the obstacles that are thrown at him in the form of the seven evil exes and even with the baggage of this slightly older, more experienced lover. But he himself is a hypocrite, because he had baggage and he's caused heartache and chaos, and he doesn't really see it that way because in his head, he's kind of infallible. (chuckles)
