Scott Pilgrim vs The World BTS Video: Edgar Wright Acts Out Iconic Scene
A behind-the-scenes Scott Pilgrim vs. the World video shows Edgar Wright acting out one of the movie's most iconic moments. The English filmmaker directed the 2010 film, which adapted Bryan Lee O'Malley's graphic novel series of the same name. While considered a box-office bomb, Scott Pilgrim vs. the World was well-reviewed and has since developed a cult following, even meriting a theatrical re-release for its 10th anniversary.
While many of the film's elements have earned it praise, it stands out most for its unique visual style, which merges Wright's characteristically kinetic filmmaking with the sensibilities of its graphic novel source material. The precise timing of camera movements and the careful use of visual effects recreate the feeling of reading a story told in a series of panels, which pairs well with the tightly choreographed jokes and action set-pieces. Those come together to create moments like when Michael Cera's Scott Pilgrim leaps through a small window to avoid talking to his ex-girlfriend, Knives, a short visual gag that tends to linger in the minds of viewers.

Now, in a video shared to Twitter by the Glasgow Film Festival, Wright finds himself in front of the camera during an early test of this comedic stunt. Standing in for Kieran Culkin's Wallace, Scott's roommate, in an entirely cardboard set, the director helps pre-visualize Scott's hasty escape by moving the door to the right rhythm. Only after the stuntman perfectly executes the dive does Wright notice he's been staring directly into the camera lens. Check out the video below:
