While in London to premiere his film Up in the Air, director Jason Reitman met up with his friend and fellow Director, Edgar Wright.
Wright apparently took him to a secret location and showed him 30 minutes of “Scott Pilgrim vs. the World,” swearing him to secrecy.
While he didn’t let any real details slip, Reitman took to twitter and had this to say about the movie;
In London, @edgarwright showed me 30min of Scott Pilgrim. While sworn to secrecy (so much, surprised blood wasn’t demanded) I will say this: It is a game changer for Edgar and the genre. It moves the speed of light and carries more unadulterated joy than Ive seen in recent cinema. SP does what everyone our age has been dreaming about: achieves the first all encompassing film of the joystick generation. I’m in awe of the sheer control in the filmmaking. It feels like a “Matrix” for love and how willing we are to fight for it. If I had a movie coming out next year, I wouldn’t want to be anywhere near it. Hats off my friend. Can’t get it out of my head.
