Thereâs a pretty great story about when Scott Pilgrim vs. the World - the Edgar Wright-directed, Michael Cera-starring graphic novel adaptation - opened in theaters. Opening against the likes of Julia Robertsâ Eat, Pray, Love and Sylvester Stalloneâs The Expendables, Scott Pilgrim vs. the World came in a distant fifth at the box office. Family Guy creator Seth MacFarlane decided to take a dig at the film, tweeting âScott Pilgrim 0, the World 2;â Edgar Wright was none too pleased. But one of the filmâs producers emailed Wright and told him, âYears, not days.â He couldnât have been more right.
