Why am I only learning about this now? 🙂

**Scott Pilgrim Takes Off** premiers on Netflix November 17 and the entire cast of the 2010 Edgar Wright Scott Pilgrim film are reprising their roles. The show was developed and written by creator of the original comics, Bryan Lee O’Malley.

Cool! I’m a fan of both the comic and the movie, so hopefully this should be fun.

I’ll be fascinated to see the results - the original film is like a freeze-frame of my neighbourhood at a perfect point in time!
