Back in 2010, the movie adaptation of Bryan Lee O’Malley’s smash indie comic, Scott Pilgrim, failed to make an impact at the box office. However, in the decade since its release, Scott Pilgrim vs. the World has earned a cult following for its unique style, action, and comedy. During a recent Scott Pilgrim rewatch party, director Edgar Wright revealed that the film is heading back into theaters for its 10th anniversary.
Finally, I wanted to make an announcement about the movie… something we were going to do for the 10th anniversary in August… #ScottPilgrim #WatchWithTheAcademy

The film starred Michael Cera as Scott Pilgrim, a young man who falls hard for Mary Elizabeth Winstead’s Ramona Flowers. But to win Ramona’s heart, Scott has to face her seven evil exes, including Lucas Lee (Chris Evans), Todd Ingram (Brandon Routh), Roxy Richter (Mae Whitman), and Gideon Graves (Jason Schwartzman). Alison Brie also appears as Scott’s evil ex, Envy Adams, alongside Alison Pill as Kim Pine, Aubrey Plaza as Julie Powers, Kieran Culkin as Wallace Wells, and Ellen Wong as Knives Chau.
