The Internet is ablaze with excitement over the debut trailer for Scott Pilgrim vs. The World.  Comic book fans especially are drooling over this graphic novel adaptation for film.  Scott Pilgrim is a comic book series authored and illustrated by Bryan Lee O’Malley and published by Oni Press.  The first volume was released in 2004 and the fifth and final volume, Scott Pilgrim’s Finest Hour, will release later this year alongside the movie.  The series follows “23-year-old Canadian Scott Pilgrim, a slacker, hero, and part-time bassist who is living in Toronto and plays bass guitar in the band “Sex Bob-Omb.”  He falls in love with American delivery girl Ramona V. Flowers, but must defeat her seven “evil exes” in order to date her.”  And that is exactly what the movie is about.  The trailer begins with the question: “Have you ever met someone you love so much it hurts?”  Then it introduces Scott Pilgram (Michael Cera), his crush Ramona Flowers (Mary Elizabeth Winstead), and the seven evil exes who include a telepath (Brandon Routh), a skateboarder with a powerful punch (Chris Evans), and Flower’s former college roommate (Mae Whitman).  There’s plenty of comic book combat for everyone.

Directed by Edgar Wright (Shawn of the Dead, Hot Fuzz), Scott Pilgrim vs. The World hits theatres August 13.
