Last week, we got our first glimpses at the Scott Pilgrim Vs. The World motion picture and the videogame inspired by it.
Universal unveiled the teaser trailer for the forthcoming movie Scott Pilgrim vs The World Thursday.
On Friday, while performing at PAX East in Boston, the band Anamanaguchi performed their first tune from the Scott Pilgrim game being made by Ubisoft. While the chiptune band debuted the music, images from the game created by pixel artist Paul Robertson, flashed on the big stage-side screens. Images from the performance can be found at Attract Mode, and – video of Anamanaguchi performing the song is available on YouTube.
Scott Pilgrim Vs. The World, to be released in August, is the big-screen adaptation of the graphic novels by Bryan Lee O'Malley. The comics, heavily steeped in the cultures of music, anime and videogames, tell the story of a young slacker who must defeat the seven deadly ex-boyfriends of the girl he loves. The film is directed by Edgar Wright, who has a long history of paying homage to the culture of gaming, particularly through his geek-centric show Spaced.
The movie's new teaser trailer contains a few veiled references to games, but the one that sticks out the best comes in the clip's final moments when Pilgrim, played by Michael Cera, slashes an enemy with a flaming sword and his foe turns to coins upon death. Be sure to check out Gamervision's excellent frame-by-frame analysis of the trailer for a better look at the sequence.
