Now I’m Even More Excited for Scott Pilgrim
Jason Reitman, director of Juno, Thank You for Smoking and Up in the Air has just sent out several tweets describing what he thought of the 30 minutes of Scott Pilgrim that Edgar Wright had shown him recently when he was in London, here’s what he said:
Edgar Wright 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.
Can’t get it out of my head. 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.
That’s gotten me even more excited for a film that I was already over the top excited about, if you haven’t read Scott Pilgrim and your reading this then you probably should stop and go and read it, like now.
