Edgar Wright on Scott Pilgrim vs. the World, His Preferred Ending, and How the Film’s Fandom Grew

Edgar Wright talks about Scott Pilgrim vs. the World ahead of the theatrical re-release. He reflects on the film’s original opening weekend and explains why he wasn’t eager to blame Universal’s marketing team. He also talked about the enduring appeal of the film, especially among younger people, and looked back on the making of the movie, including how the hiring of cinematographer Bill Pope was initially meant to help quell concerns on the studio’s part given his experience on The Matrix. The filmmaker talked about being surprised by Pope’s focus on the emotion and the characters during their first meeting, and Pope’s gift for working with actors. Wright also discusses the original Scott Pilgrim vs. the World ending, why it changed, and which one he prefers, and he also revealed some other now-iconic bits in the film that were part of the additional photography for the film. #ScottPilgrim #EdgarWright #DolbyCinema For interviews, movie reviews, and more visit
