CS: What's been going on since you finished promoting "Hot Fuzz" last year? I know you've been always juggling a couple different projects including "Ant-Man" and "Scott Pilgrim."
Wright: We're in between two different strikes. I don't think anybody really knows what's happening with the (actors strike). Yeah, I've just been writing. I wrote the first draft of "Ant-Man." I wrote two drafts of "Scott Pilgrim." I started to work on a solo project and also me and Simon are… (starts to pause as not to reveal too much.)
CS: The interesting thing about "Ant-Man" is that after "Iron Man" opened so big, there was this huge Marvel Studios bells and whistles announcement of their movies for the next three years and "Ant-Man" wasn't mentioned.
Wright: I think having spoken to Kevin Feige, the "Ant-Man" film I have in mind is a bit more stand-alone, and that's kind of what I wanted to do in a way. I think my take on it is something that may or may not fit into what "The Avengers" would eventually do, but they're very keen on it and they've even talked a release date with me in very vague terms. It looks likely that I will do "Scott Pilgrim" next and then "Ant-Man" straight afterwards.
CS: You have a great cast that's been announced for "Scott Pilgrim" so far.
Wright: There's some more interesting people buzzing around as well. It's going to be a big ensemble, that film, and there's a lot of fun people we've already been talking to, so there's more to come with that.
CS: Brian O'Malley still has a couple more issues of the story to finish, so have you talked to him about where the story is going to go so you can include some of that in the movie?
Wright: The only book that isn't written is the sixth, but our film takes on a slightly different trajectory after the second book and it includes elements from books three, four and five. In some cases, Brian has used lines in his books from our first draft of the screenplay (chuckles) which is like strange performance-style transference, and it's been brilliant being able to pick his brains throughout this. On one hand, it's a very very faithful adaptation and on the other hand, it definitely molds events from those books into a three-act movie structure, so that's been interesting.
CS: And you know that Mike Cera has this insane fanbase of women, which you might have seen at Comic-Con last year, but it's gotten even bigger since "Superbad" came out. Essentially, every single woman wants him.
Wright: Michael Cera? Yeah. I know he's got a lot of growing up he can do if he wanted to.
Also some boring stuff about some dumb TV show.

well i guess it's not then

I enjoy the comic. It's not serious business but it's good fun.
The art style is so stylized/simplified that it can be hard tell characters apart at times though, and that's kind of a problem. Probably the biggest complaint I can come up with off the top of my head, aside from how long it took the last volume to come out. It doesn't seem like something that should take so long between volumes, it's not like the 4th volume was filled with stunning detail or something.

my biggest problem with Scott Pilgrim is that the artist/writer dresses like this

Can you see how it might be just a little challenging to tell some of these characters apart?
(their outfits aren't static and the book is black and white :-\)
It's poor design/cartooning, though I don't mind his style overall.
-
Looking forward to the Scott Pilgrim movie, a lot. I love the comic.
Also, I have that shirt that the author's wearing :lol :lol

What Speed didn't know is that Scott Pilgrim was actually his older brother Rex
-
Well I think it's stylish.
-
But would you wear that bandana at the same time?
I also don't go for the faux aged/faded look myself. The graphic itself is nice enough (without the fading) but I wouldn't pay 40 bucks for it.
-
I'd just wear the bandanna...just the bandanna.
-
Never read the comic, but the art style looks like they are all apes.
-
The problem with what hes wearing is two fold. Obviously, the bandanna but that shirt is a few sizes too small.
-
Blue hates boobies.

I just hate the ones that has the tendency of getting hair between my teeth :-X

Fine. I will shave, asshole.

No because when I said it I had a pause that wasn't quite a full pause worthy of a period. Also your way makes me sound like some south Asian with broken English looking to trim up some butt hair.
