Edgar Wright continues sharing a picture a day with the readers of his blog. Sometimes they’re reflections of his life – lots of cold meds lately – but sometimes they’re tantalizing teases of Scott Pilgrim vs The World, like the image below. I don’t know what this picture is from – there was a licensing expo recently, maybe it was from that? – and it’s not as straight on as I’d like it to be, but it’s a shot of the cast in costume. I’m dying to see something from this film and I’m hoping that some cool stills – stuff with action and weirdness involved – show up soon.
In the meantime, enjoy this angled view of Scott Pilgrim, Ramona Flowers, Young Neil, Knives Chau, Kim Pine and Stephen Stills.

Can't fucking wait for this.
sigh
Whatever I hear or read about this project I can't help but think "more hipster/slacker bullshit." The art for the books kinda turns me off, too. But all I've heard is that it's "awesome." What am I missing? Can someone speak up for Scott Pilgrim and try to convince me?
@TheColonel
Reading the first book will take you less than a half hour. You will arguably spend more time asking people if it's worth the time reading them.
Try it out and you'll know instantly if it's your thing.
@The Colonel… yeah it's a very quick read. There's a lot of things that can be a turn off for folks not into those things (the NES game references, and cartoon style, the hipster music scene) But I ASSURE you it's all just window dressing really. The crux of the story is the wonderful characterization. Scott and his deep seeded, heart-on-his-sleeve, hilarious, and yet totally non-annoying anxieties are the stuff of truly great writing. The reason everyone loves them is the quality of the stories subtly transcend the specifics which apply to the core group of people who already have interest in those specifics. So give the hipster/slacker property a chance. And yeah, Justin PD is right. It's an insanely quick read.
The villains in the book are the hipster douchebags (my favorite being the elitist vegans). Scott and his friends wear their heart on their sleeves for the most part.
I thought it was alright. I'm more a fan of the artist's influences.
TheColonel: I felt the same way about the books while my friends were trying to convince me to read them. Finally bought and read the first volume when I first heard the film was being made, and I was hooked.
