I feel powerfully compelled to post this, the most substantive Scott Pilgrim movie news yet - this is from Comic Book Resources' coverage of Seattle's comic book convention, the Emerald City Con.
>> Talk of the “Whiteout” film led Rucka to begin questioning O’Malley on the movie that will be based on his “Scott Pilgrim” series. O’Malley said the movie is supposed to start production in September, and he likes the people working on the project. He said he’s read every draft of the script, given notes, and said, “They seem to take me seriously.” Edgar Wright (“Shaun of the Dead,” “Hot Fuzz”) is directing the film, and Michael Cera (“Superbad,” “Juno”) will play the lead.
Both Rucka and O’Malley then discussed the fact that comic books and movies are different mediums, saying one can’t necessarily transfer one over to the other without changes. Although, when a concerned fan asked O’Malley if the “dance battle” scene from the first book would be in the movie, the writer-artist replied that “most of the first book appears in the film...near verbatim.”
