Netflix is Developing a SCOTT PILGRIM Anime Series with Edgar Wright Executive Producing
For those of you who are fans of Scott Pilgrim, I’ve got some super rad news for you! Netflix is developing a Scott Pilgrim anime series! The news comes from Variety, which also reports that creator Bryan Lee O’Malley, has come on board to write and executive produce the series alongside BenDavid Grabinski. They will also serve as showrunners on the show.
The series is about Scott Pilgrim, a slacker and part-time musician who lives in Toronto, Ontario, and plays bass in a band. He falls in love with American delivery girl Ramona Flowers, but must defeat her seven evil exes in order to date her in peace.
This property and story will work perfectly for an anime series! I’m a big fan of the characters and the story. But it’s also filled with great comedy and cool action! I’m pretty excited to see how this actually turns out and see what kid of animation and art style they use. I imagine it will be in line with the style of the comic.
Science SARU will provide the animation. Eunyoung Choi of Science SARU will produce with Abel Gongora onboard to direct. Edgar Wright, who helmed the live-action film Scott Pilgrim vs. The World, will executive produce. which is also awesome! He will produce alongside Nira Park, Marc Platt, Jared LeBoff, and Adam Seigel of Marc Platt Productions as well as Michael Bacall.
Are you excited that we’ve got a Scott Pilgrim anime series coming!?
