Scott Pilgrim Takes Off On Netflix! New Age, New Vibes

Get ready to vibe with Scott Pilgrim as he's brought to life by Science SARU, grooving to the tunes of 'Bloom' by Necry Talkie. In this revamped series, we follow Scott (played by Michael Cera) as he chills with his squad, rocks out with his band Sex Bob-Omb, and crosses paths with his crush, Ramona Flowers (played by Mary Elizabeth Winstead). But that's not all – get teased for the showdown with Ramona's ex-boyfriends and Scott's former flame, Envy Adams (Brie Larson), along with the OG cast reprising their iconic roles.

The Birth of 'Scott Pilgrim Takes Off'
The journey to "Scott Pilgrim Takes Off" began in January 2023 when it was first announced as the second adaptation of Bryan Lee O'Malley's epic graphic novel series.

This time around, O'Malley is joining the anime adventure, co-writing alongside BenDavid Grabinski. But the nostalgia doesn't end there; some of the OG film crew members, like director Edgar Wright and co-writer Michael Bacall, are on board as executive producers. Expect a killer soundtrack from Anamanaguchi, the same folks who rocked "Scott Pilgrim vs. the World: The Game," along with Joseph Trapanese.

Fresh Takes on an Iconic Story
With Scott Pilgrim being a legend in his own right, Bryan Lee O'Malley has a mission for "Takes Off." He's all about breathing new life into the story by resurrecting plot points from the comics that were MIA in previous adaptations. Get ready to dive deeper into the minds of the characters, as O'Malley puts it, "We’re trying to get into people’s heads more." With more life experience under his belt, he's all about bringing that extra context to the table.

Embracing the Hyperkinetic Action
But fear not, GenZers! "Scott Pilgrim Takes Off" won't be skimping on the action you know and love. BenDavid Grabinski assures us that this animated series will fully embrace its medium, promising epic fight sequences that would break the bank in a live-action flick.

As Grabinski puts it, "There's an extended fight sequence in Episodes 2 and 3 that, if this was a live-action movie, would cost more than Avatar. It would be so unbelievably big." Think no boundaries, no limitations – a total Hearts Of Darkness situation averted!

Save the Date: November 17 on Netflix
The countdown is on! You can catch the groovy "Scott Pilgrim Takes Off" on Netflix starting November 17. Mark your calendars and get ready for a fresh take on this epic adventure!
