Edgar Wright has posted two more photos of the cast of Scott Pilgrim vs. The World. I’ve touched them up, a little color correction, and added side-by-side comparisons from the graphic novel. Ellen Wong (pictured above) plays Knives Chau, a 17-year-old Chinese-Canadian high school girl who dated Scott for a short stint before he found Ramona. She still isn’t over him even though she is dating other guys. And below is another photo, shadows aside — an almost full photo this time, of Mary Elizabeth Winstead as Ramona Flowers. Thanks to /Film reader Michelle N for the tip.

  • I can't wait for this movie to come out.
  • Stryker
    So...is this animated or live action or some Zemeckis mixture thing? If it is animated then why is Winstead making herself look like her character? Either way, still psyched for this.
  • The_Kid
    it's fully live action but I think the fight scenes are gonna be some kind of animated, and man is Mary hot, so is Ellen Wong
  • God, Mary is so cute.
  • gah
    We know this. We all have eyes. You dont need to announce it when you find someone attractive.
  • burp
  • rnl
    a friend of mine dated the sister of the author of scott P.

    Also, Mary EW is so attractive.
    I can't wait for this one.

    if there is animation in this movie, any idea who's doing it? i'd really like to know.
  • Looks like good casting.
  • the ellen wong is the most generic lookin asian girl i've ever seen.


    good casting indeed. =)
  • What's with all the Scott Pilgrim stuff? I call for more Inglorious Basterds/Watchmen/Star Trek news! And what ever happened to The Road and The Soloist????
  • The Road just dissapeared!
  • blade777
    The Soloist comes out at April 24th after being pushed back because a good weekend opened up. Inglorious Bastards/Star Trek/Watchmen are national news now. Go to IGN for that, I love this site for it's indie news. I had no idea about Scott Pilgrim before this site and now i'm really pumped. Seems amazing.
  • nope
    regina shut up, im thankful as hell for slashfilm's scott pilgrim coverage, woo!!!
  • Agh, I've been loving the casting. Knives chick looks too mature so to speak, I'm skeptical for her but have loved the rest of the casting...I don't really see a Knives resemblance besides the asian-factor, maybe it's just the pic.
  • gah
    I'd probably be looking forward to this more if it was 100% animation. The whole hipster vibe is giving me bad Nick and Norah/Juno flashbacks.
  • read the comics, its some of the funniest cleverest stuff ever.
  • Once again, Mary E. Winstead looking great.
  • gah
    I think she actually might want to do you now.
  • Yeah I was wondering about The Road too. I'm half way through the book and was hoping to watch the movie one day.
  • That's what I was thinking when I was typing it.
  • jason B
    f-ing flawless casting.
  • dannyboy
    what im shocked they cast an Asian to play a Asian i thought the film industry like to cast a white person to play a asian person.
  • I think if the characters look Asian, but there was no actual reference to their race, then they would be White, such as Avatar.

    Here, she was specifically stated as Asian-Canadian.
  • dannyboy
    dont try that avatar rubbish u know they asian on avatar they just dont want an asian to make it big on film thats all.
  • So... you're agreeing with me, since I said Hollywood would like to cast White people unless the person's name is like "Jimmy Chan" or something- You can't cover that name up with a white guy.

    Same with "Knives Chau"- you can't put a White girl and expect people to believe you.
  • I love scott pilgrim so much, and Edgar Wright is PERFECT to direct it, and so far all the casting has been flawless, this is one movie where i have absolutely no complaints
  • Read some Scott Pilgrim and you'll know why we're all drooling at every bit of news from this project ;)
  • ah, yes pretty girls here. very good - looking good !!!
  • christ.
    i'm interested in this scott pilgrim stuff, but the look of the comic is such shit.
  • jesus.
    fuck you
  • i'm excited about this film. i think it will be brilliant. and the actors and actresses in this film are making this film look pretty good.

    sidenote: asian girls re the cutest. ha ha ha. slight bias. cho chang anyone?
  • thetiniest
    It figures that they would choose such a plain looking asian. I thought Knives was supposed to be dainty and doe-eyed.
  • terry78
    I'm sure this Ellen chick will be fine, but the chickfrom Chuck looks more like how Knives should be.
  • jai234
    she izz soo Beautiful i wish i had a Girlfriend like her!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
