    …Simon Pegg comented here.

    Why can’t this be easy to believe to me…?
    Ehh, anyways, been stoked for this since I heard you were the director.
    Been a fan since … what? Late 2006?

    Best’u'luck!

  3. Arnt says:

    Love that filmmakers make videoblogs like these;) I’m looking forward to this film, keep up the good work Ed;)

  4. PaddyDunne says:

    Can we expect another bit of vloggy goodness today? Oh please say so…

  5. pieface says:

    dyou mean the guy in the sunglasses/epiphany moment in the garage near the end, who says ‘can i help you sir?’
    thats not edgar!
    i really thought it was as well – but he’s one of the 118 guys (soz don’t know his actual name..!)

  6. Lloyd says:

    Watched Hot Fuzz the other day and was thinking “Edgar really looks awful without a beard”, but you know what, it looks okay now, it was probably that you were trying to look like a vaccuous petrol attendant.

  7. Brett says:

    Hey edgar, can I be in the film?

  8. pieface says:

    buenos dias lisandro. thanks so much – wow great information.
    i had a feeling it was a cheapish drink, but had no idea about the flavours. i’m trying to write something so that info is a great help (tho one day i will have to go to mexico – but in the meantime thanks!).
    gracias.

    This makes me very happy – it should serve as good evidence to the fanboy prats who all proclaimed to me that your directing SP was the biggest mistake of all time. Clearly, you have been working on this for longer than they had been reading it. In your face, fanboy twats!

    (Master Wright, are you making up for the lack of beard with the abundance of hair? I’m more jealous of your hair now than every before.)

  10. Tim Nicley says:

    LOL@Simon’s comment! xD Hairy Child… I didn’t think so, I thought you looked older. hehe…Anyways, looking forward to the other blogs and the movie!

  11. stephanie lee says:

    i cannot believe this film is actually happening! i’m so excited to see how everything is going to relate, and fit together. i’m also totally stoked that i finally get to hear SEX BOB-OMB – oh the joy of terrible rock music!

    pieface,

    ‘PULQUE’ is the correct word for that delicious beverage made from the fermented juice of the ‘MAGUEY’ (the same plant whrere the TEQUILA is produced). ‘PULQUEROS’ is the name of the people who makes ‘PULQUE’. Here in Mexico PULQUE is very cheap & easy to find (in any city or town you can find a ‘Pulque store’ called ‘PULQUERIA’ and you can get it in natural or in a diversity of ‘fruit-flavored mixes’ lique Strawberry, Guayaba (Guava), Oats, Peanuts, Almonds, etc.

    Soon I’ll make a ”Mexican POP-CULTURE blog” in English & Spanish to share cool stuff from my country with all you people! Check it soon here – http://www.lysandermix.blogspot.com -

  14. Watching the actors training kind of reminded me of the line from Wayne’s World:

    Garth: “What are you gonna do with these guys?”

    Wayne: “Oh, nothing really. I just always wanted to open a door to a room where people were being trained like in James Bond movies.”

    (Only without the flamethrower guy.)

    It’ll be fantastic to see Toronto playing itself in a non-Canadian movie, for once. (Okay, I understand that Toronto was also featured in THE LOVE GURU, but I didn’t see that movie as it was supposed to be total tosh.)

  15. pieface says:

    ^^ is that the mexican wrestling? i’m mildly obsessed with mexico at the moment, so anything mexican catches my eye.

    (if you reply, as a mexican – can you tell me if ‘pulqeros’ is the proper name for the fermented cactus drink? or have i got that completely wrong? ta!

  16. Lisandro says:

    - Greetings from Mexico!

    Hey man!, What a cool “Mexican Lucha” t-shirt you have (with the classical “Santo, the silver masked man” design)!
    I ‘ll be waiting to see your movie, it looks terrific!

    Saludos y mucha suerte!

  17. A.T says:

    Is it okay just to say yes to this?

    Yes

  18. Simone says:

    Now there’s one thing you will no longer have…

    A GREAT BIG BUSHY BEARD!

  20. Kevin I says:

    I was already excited, this video blog has now made me even more excited!

  21. Martyn Drake says:

    35mm film? Why aren’t there more filmmakers not turning to digital technology like Red, Phantom, etc. these days?

  22. Uruloki says:

    Ánimo Edgar con esta tu primera incursión en el cine comiquero! La obra de Bryan Lee O’Malley no puede haber contado con un mejor paladín. Suerte y estaremos atentos a tus evoluciones. // Go on Edgar with this first incursion in comic to film adventure! Bryan Lee O’Malley’s work couldn’t have a better choice as director. Good luck and we keep an eye on your work.

  23. Jenn says:

    Love this! Can’t wait for more!

  24. Lucas Gelati says:

    P.S.2:UHULLLLL!!!!

  25. Alec says:

    Alright!!!!!! The video blogs have begun :D!!!!!

  26. Liam says:

    I have to say, when I first heard about this film getting made I was kind of horrified, I was worried the comic would be butchered, but everything I’ve seen about the production makes me happier and happier :D In fact I did a girly squee noise when I saw that photo with the SEX BOB-OMB drum

  27. Ed S. says:

    Edgar, where did you get that “El Santo” shirt? I desperately need one!

  28. Lucas says:

    Edgar, you are a hero and a fantastic director, i cannot wait for this film!

  29. sarah says:

    looks like it’s gonna be good =]

    your directing style is sooo…. old skool yet skittish and weirdly ‘indie chld’ so i rekon you’ll do a bloody good job on scott pilgrim since it’s just that as a comic yeah!! =D what a great choice of a comic adaption too =)bbbb

    also i can’t wait to hear the moosic that will come of this~ <D

  30. rikomatic says:

    Thanks for posting these! Looking forward to seeing how the film develops. Go, Knives!

  31. Jon says:

    This is great…i remember watching all the ones leading up to Hot Fuzz!
    That was a mighty leap backwards from Michael Cera haha…can’t wait for the film, might be a bit odd seeing and Edgar film without Simon and Nick

  32. Colin says:

    Awesomeness is most assuredly guaranteed.

  33. Freddy Loayza says:

    I love it! I hope to see more of these soon. I say you attempt a Grizzly Adams look! Ha ha ha! Just kidding. XD

  34. Amber BG says:

    Thank you Thank you Edgar!!!

  35. Jessica says:

    You are the man!

    Loooving everything I see from this movie everyday.

  36. Joel Vallie says:

    My mind is having a blog over load.Edgar Wright is getting into shape. Keep it up man you inspire us all.

  37. SarahAC says:

    Love. Love. Love this.

  38. Naomi Covacs says:

    I’m looking forward to watching this film. And to think Scott Pilgrim’s comics haven’t reached the Brazilian audience yet! It’s such a SHAME! X)

  39. Kev says:

    That’s quite a move from Cera, straight out of Crouching Tiger!

    and Ms Wong seems to be a dab hand swordswoman!

    I can’t wait a year for this film!!

  40. Jer says:

    This is truly the best thing on the internet. Between this and the daily photos on Edgar’s site I think I can hold out until the movie comes out (and the 6th book).

    Edgar, thanks for all the work you are putting into Scott Pilgrim.

  41. Cordelia says:

    The “hairy authority” was good but I prefer the “youthful” look

    This video was such a feast for the eyes that I had to watch it twice to take it all in!

    And that sword-fighting looks way too fun to be allowed…

    Looking very much forward to Video Blog Number Two! :)

  42. comicimpact says:

    NOOOOOOOO we want the beard come on Edgar

  43. pieface says:

    brilliant video! have missed your video blogs – what a great insight.
    yeah lose the set beard grandad! (though i like the ‘filming’ beards).
    can’t wait for next weeks….

  44. nickmaynard says:

    holy christ. i can not tell you how excited i am for this. everything they’ve announced or shown us about this movie has been perfect so far, and this video is just further proof. i’m loving it!

  45. Christian Otholm says:

  46. Scott says:

    This is just too much. Like, total overload. I’m gonna go take a nap.

  47. Keith Wood says:

    It’s finally all coming together! I can’t wait!

  48. Shana says:

    It has been a really, really, really long time since I have looked forward to the release of a film. I can’t wait to see “Scott” live and in action!

  49. Soup says:

    Ahhhh…. all’s “wright” with the world. Sorry, I had to say it. With this and Daily photo, you’re just gonna make the wait for this movie even harder… DAMN YOU! But still, it looks like ya’ll are havin a lot of fun. Can’t wait to see more!

  50. Mike says:

    Ok, I’m going to try not to gush like a geek, but this is fucking A.

    Watching the cast training is fantastic. Thank you Edgar.

  51. Michelle says:

    THIS MAKES ME SO HAPPY.
    AH!

  52. Mike S says:

    The video is not embeddable? But Edgar, I wanted to post this on my blog

  53. At last! The video blogging begins.

    I, for one, miss the beard. Made me feel better about my stupid facial hair.

  54. John Pilgrim says:

    Edgar rules!

  55. Meib says:

    Awesome blog…looking forward for the rest of these!
