Scott Pilgrim Video Blog #1: Welcome To The Stunt Stage

Posted on Friday, April 10th, 2009 by Peter Sciretta

Edgar Wright has posted the first of a series of weekly video blogs for Scott Pilgrim vs. The World on the film’s official website. The video was recorded on the stunt stage, and we get to see a lot of stunt action, sword fighting, and even some footage of the bands rehearsing. Watch it after the jump. Also, after the jump, we have the film’s first studio released plot synopsis.

Plot Synopsis: 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.

    Where can I get those soft combat swords?????
  • So much Edgar Wright love here. S'good stuff. He's my favorite director, and the only person in "the business" that I have absolute and unwavering faith in. Plus he's AWESOME in person; he's signed everything I gave him and has gladly taken photos with me whenever I saw him. He reciprocates all the appreciation that we give him... ergo, he is awesome. Can't wait for this film.

    But I will miss the beard.

  • Man... They just keep making this more and more exciting. I've been following the Daily Photos religiously, and now I've gotta keep an eye on the main movie site every friday. And Jason, spoilers on the sword fights man, I know I didn't even get to read volume four till about 2 weeks ago, and some people are still waiting to get theirs.
  • man that looks fun... i want to make a movie!
  • through the magic of editing, filming the behind the scenes does look like fun lol. I kid I kid.
  • jason B
    i'll have to re-read my books, but i really only remember 3 sword fights: knives vs ramona, scott & ramona vs her ex-girlfriend, & scott vs knives dad. i'm curious to see why they are having massive ninja swordplay going on.

    either way, wright is brilliant and obviously dedicated to o'malley's work - 4 years of prep?!
  • I love the marketing for this movie. Looks to be great.
  • Edgar Wright is awesome, can't wait for this.
  • Dam that is hard work. I hope the music turns out good.
