Description: A film adaptation of the award-winning graphic novel series by Bryan Lee O'Malley about the adventures of Scott Pilgrim, slacker and part-time musician, who must fight the seven evil exes of his love interest, Ramona Flowers, if they want to date. Directed and cowritten by Edgar Wright (of Cornetto Trilogy fame), and incorporating the same manga and videogame visuals that marked the graphic novels, this film is just part of a larger narrative that can be followed from comics, to film, to video games, to animated series... Perfect for anyone interested in transmedia narratives, film adaptations, and compelling use of visuals to highlight themes and boost story beats.
