Jason Reitman Watches 30 Minutes of ‘Scott Pilgrim’
By Landfill | October 26, 2009
Jason Reitman, the guy on the left, is a very good friend of Scott Pilgrim vs. The World director Edgar Wright. They’re such good friends, Wright let Reitman watch 30 minutes of his upcoming film. To read Reitman’s reactions, continue with this article.
After seeing 30 minutes of Scott Pilgrim vs. The World, Reitman said via twitter, “In London, @edgarwright showed me 30min of Scott Pilgrim. While sworn to secrecy (so much, surprised blood wasn’t demanded) I will say this:”
“It is a game changer for Edgar and the genre. It moves the speed of light and carries more unadulterated joy than Ive seen in recent cinema,” Reitman said.
Jason Reitman goes on to say, “[Scott Pilgrim] does what everyone our age has been dreaming about: achieves the first all encompassing film of the joystick generation.”
“I’m in awe of the sheer control in the filmmaking, Reitman explained. “It feels like a ‘Matrix’ for love and how willing we are to fight for it.”
Jason Reitman closes out the mini-review with this final word, “If I had a movie coming out next year, I wouldn’t want to be anywhere near it. Hats off my friend. Can’t get it out of my head.”
We reported a few weeks ago that Jason Schwatzman had seen 20 minutes of the film. My guess is, Although working really hard on the film, Edgar Wright only has 30 minutes of the film completed so far. I have no idea how long the film will be but with 7 boyfriends, it’s gotta be longer than 90 minutes.
Oh yeah, according to /Film, Edgar Wright had this to say of his friend’s review (via Twitter), “I am very touched by @jasonreitman’s lovely comments about Scott Pilgrim thus far. In unrelated news, UP IN THE AIR ain’t too shabby.”
