Collider’s Adam Chitwood talked with Wright about the following his film has developed in a recent interview. The director discussed how he still gets requests to sign posters for the film, especially from directors and stars whose children were fans:
“I know this because there’s quite a few directors, friends of mine, who say to me, ‘Hey, would you sign a Scott Pilgrim poster for my son?’ I’ve definitely done ones for Sam Mendes, JJ Abrams, Jon Favreau. Jack Black just the other day. It’s like, ‘Hey, could you sign a Scott Pilgrim poster for my son?’ So there’s obviously some 10- and 11-year-olds, who obviously did not see when it first came out, who love that movie. And I’ve heard that a lot from people. So it’s nice in a way.”
While the initial one-week run was exclusively in Dolby Vision, these additional screenings are at AMC theaters and other theaters in the U.S. starting Friday, May 7th and many of these willnotbe the Dolby Vision version. So if you want to see the Dolby remastered version ofScott Pilgrim, make sure to check your local listings.
