The critically-acclaimed action/comedy based on Bryan Lee O'Malley's hugely popular graphic novel will rock Blu-ray this November!.
Universal Studios has just announced 'Scott Pilgrim vs. The World' for a Blu-ray/DVD combo pack on November 9.
In the movie, cutting-edge filmmaker Edgar Wright ('Hot Fuzz,' 'Shaun of the Dead') directs Michael Cera (Juno, Superbad) and an incredible ensemble cast in the story of a charming, unemployed bass player who discovers that in order to date the girl of his dreams, he must first battle her seven super-powered, evil exes.
'Scott Pilgrim vs. the World' slayed critics of every generation with its highly stylized visuals. The New York Times’ A.O. Scott raves “You may want to see it again as soon as it’s over.” Jeremy Smith of “AintItCoolNews” calls the film “Wholly original. There’s never been a movie like it” and Rossiter Drake of the San Francisco Examiner pronounces it a “bold, brilliant spectacle.” 'Scott Pilgrim vs. the World' is “far and away the funniest movie of the summer,” according to the Orlando Sentinel’s Roger Moore, and Peter Travers of Rolling Stone calls the film “a breathless rush of a movie that jumps off the screen, spins your head around and then stealthily works its way into your heart. It’s a game changer.”
