‘Scott Pilgrim’ Creator Discusses the Film’s Format

There was some buzz that came across the wire last week when Brandon Routh made mention that Edgar Wright’s big-screen adaptation of ‘Scott Pilgrim Vs. the World’ would be a “great mix of real people and drawn animation”.

MTV News sat down with Bryan Lee O’Malley, the writer/artist behind the ‘Scott Pilgrim’ comic series. Â  The animator shed some light on what the finished project may look like.

“I think what he said was kind of blown out of proportion by the rumor mill,† said O’Malley of Routh’s description of the film. “It’s not going to be like half the thing is hand-animated, like they’re saying on the Internet lately.†

O’Malley told MTV he believes Routh was explaining “more about special effects and incorporating some hand-drawn doodling and stuff.†

“It’s not going to be a hand-drawn Michael Cera,† he added.

As for whether he’d be the one providing that animation, O’Malley told MTV it was still early to weigh in on his level of involvement in that area.

“I might be involved a little bit,† he hinted, “but it’s still kind of early on that.†

So, what do you think? Â  Will Edgar Wright do the comic justice in whatever format he chooses to present the film in? Â  How do you think the hand-drawn elements are going to be incorporated into the film? Â  Let us know by commenting below!
