O'Malley originally had mixed feelings about a film adaptation, stating that he 'expected them to turn it into a full-on action comedy with some actor that I hated' but ultimately 'didn't even care. I was a starving artist, and I was like, 'Please, just give me some money.' ' contracted director Edgar Wright, who had just finished (2004) and agreed to adapt the Scott Pilgrim comics.
In May 2005, the studio signed to co-write the screenplay. Wright cited 's (1968) as an influence on his approach to Scott Pilgrim, describing it as an 'Italian influence, a sense of completely unbridled imagination. They don't make any attempt to make it look realistic. Mario Bava's composition and staging has a real try-anything attitude.'
Bacall said that he wanted to write the Scott Pilgrim film because he felt strongly about its story and empathized with its characters. By 2010, casting had been completed and the film was titled Scott Pilgrim vs.
Wright said that O'Malley was 'very involved' with the script of the film from the start, contributing lines and adding polish. Due to the long development, several lines from various scripts written by Wright and Bacall were used in later Scott Pilgrim comics. No material from Scott Pilgrim's Finest Hour, the sixth Scott Pilgrim volume, appeared in the film, as the comic was not complete at the time of the film's production.
O'Malley contributed suggestions for the film's ending and gave the producers his notes for the sixth volume, but stated that the film's ending was 'their ending'. Of the principal characters began in June 2008. Began in March 2009 in and wrapped as scheduled in August. In the film's original ending, written before the release of the final Scott Pilgrim book, Scott gets back together with Knives.

The film was given a production budget of $85–90 million, an amount offset by tax rebates that resulted in a final cost of around $60 million. Universal fronted $60 million of the pre-rebate budget.

The film features, Sonic Boom, the Wychwood Library, a location on St. Clair West, a, and a. The developers planned to set the series in Toronto because, in Dale's words, 'the books are super-specific in their local details' and director Wright wanted to use the imagery from the books, so Universal Studios had no plans to alter the setting. Dale stated that ' is practically the cerebral cortex of Scott Pilgrim'. Casting Director Wright felt confident with his casting in the film. Wright stated that 'Like with how we had great people in every single tiny part, it's the same with this.
What's great with this is that there's people you know, like with Michael Cera and Jason Schwartzman, and then we have people who are up and coming, like Anna Kendrick, Aubrey Plaza and Brie Larson, and then there's complete unknowns as well'. There was no studio interference with casting more unknowns, as Wright stated that 'Universal never really gave me any problems about casting bigger people, because in a way Michael Cera has starred in two $100 million-plus movies, and also a lot of the other people, though they're not the biggest names, people certainly know who they are.' Wright planned on casting Cera while writing Hot Fuzz after watching episodes of. Wright said he needed an actor that 'audiences will still follow even when the character is being a bit of an ass.' Wright ran all his casting decisions by O'Malley during the casting session. Mary Elizabeth Winstead was Wright's choice for Ramona Flowers two years before filming had started, because 'she has a very sunny disposition as a person, so it was interesting to get her to play a version of herself that was broken inside.
She's great in the film because she causes a lot of chaos but remains supernaturally grounded.' , a Toronto actress known mostly from a role in, auditioned for the part of Knives Chau three times.
On her second audition, Wright learned that Wong has a green belt in, and says he found himself intrigued by this 'sweet-faced young lady being a secret badass'.

Two unreleased songs can also be heard in the teaser trailer. Cast members Webber, Pill, and Simmons all had to learn to play their respective instruments, and spent time rehearsing as a band with Cera (who already played bass) before filming began. The actors also sing on the film's soundtrack. Brendan Canning and Kevin Drew of Broken Social Scene wrote all the songs for Crash and the Boys.
The tracks were sung by Knudsen, who plays Crash in the film. Drew stated that the reason behind this was that 'he knew that Knudsen didn't need to be a singer to pull it off' because the songs were 'so quick and punk and fast' and 'it needed to be the character's voice.' Metric is the inspiration for the film's fictional band, the Clash at Demonhead, and contributed the song 'Black Sheep' to the film. The clothing of Metric's lead singer, is also the basis for the clothing of the lead singer of Clash at Demonhead.

Music from the video game series is used in a dream sequence in the film.

Title sequence The opening was designed by Richard Kenworthy of, and was inspired. According to Kenworthy: You can't study animation and not be well-versed in,.
We went back and re-watched those films and they were still full of life.

At a test screening, director was impressed by the film saying 'That movie is great. It's spellbinding and nobody is going to understand what the fuck just hit them.

Wrote a negative review, stating that 'What's disappointing is that this is all so juvenile.
Nothing makes any real sense. Michael Cera doesn't give a performance that anchors the nonsense.' And 'Universal should have a youth hit in the domestic market when the film opens next month.
A wider audience among older or international viewers seems unlikely.' Of magazine wrote that 'The film is repetitive, top-heavy: Wright blows his wad too early. But a different lead might have kept you laughing and engaged. Cera doesn't come alive in the fight scenes the way does in the best (and most -like) of all the surreal martial-arts comedies,.' Cindy White at gave the film a positive rating of 8/10 calling the film 'funny and offbeat' as well as noting that the film is 'best suited for the wired generation and those of us who grew up on and MTV.
Its kinetic nature and quirky sensibilities might be a turnoff for some.' Nick Schager of gave the film a positive review of three and a half stars out of four, calling Edgar Wright an 'inspired mash-up artist, and Scott Pilgrim vs. The World may be his finest hybridization to date'. Made the film a 'critics pick', stating 'There are some movies about youth that just make you feel old, even if you aren't. Scott Pilgrim vs. The World has the opposite effect. Its speedy, funny, happy-sad spirit is so infectious that the movie makes you feel at home in its world even if the landscape is, at first glance, unfamiliar.'
According to, ' Scott Pilgrim vs. The World is different, and not just because it's funny first and everything else second. Director and co-writer Edgar Wright understands the appeal of the original Bryan Lee O'Malley graphic novels. O'Malley's -inspired books combine utter with, and it's a lot for a director to take on. Wright, who is British, has taken it on and won. Scott Pilgrim vs. The World lives and breathes the style of the original books, with animated squiggles and hearts and stars filling out the frame in many individual shots.
Some of this is cute; some of it is better, weirder than 'cute.' ' Phillips concludes: 'To enjoy the film you must enjoy the brash, satiric spirit of hero's quest. Cera and his fellow ensemble members, including Kieran Culkin as Scott's roommate, Anna Kendrick as his snippy younger sister and the majestically dour Alison Pill as the band's drummer, mitigate the apocalyptic craziness with their deadpan wiles.
At its best, Wright's film is raucous, impudent entertainment.' After its premiere in Japan, several notable video game, film, and industry personalities have praised Scott Pilgrim vs. The World, among them,. In June 2013, Scott Pilgrim creator Bryan Lee O'Malley, who is of Korean and white Canadian parentage, stated that he regretted the fact that the film's cast was predominantly white, and that there were not enough roles for minorities.

What's disappointing is that this is all so juvenile. Nothing makes any real sense. The 'duels' change their rules on a whim, and no one takes the games very seriously, including the exes, who, when defeated, explode into coins the winner may collect. Certainly Cera doesn't give a performance that anchors the nonsense. His character sort of drifts, not really attached to any idea or goal other than winning the heart of an apparently heartless woman while dissing a girlfriend who, despite her 'youth,' seems ideally suited to his slacker personality.
