Edgar Wright's next film is based of a pretty popular comic "Scott Pilgrim" and in the last days the casting engine is moving at a rapid speed! "Scott Pilgrim" follows a 23 year old Canadian slacker/hero who plays bass guitar for a local Tornoto indie band "Sex Bomb-Omb." Scott falls in love with Ramona V. Flowers, but before he may date her, he must defeat all seven of her evil exes. Four books of eight have been published with the fifth book called Scott Pilgrim vs. The Universe due in February. The film, written by Michael Bacall is titled after the second book "Scott Pilgrim vs. The World" and if all goes well, is set to release late this year with shooting starting by early March.
