In case you didn’t catch it, Universal released a teaser trailer for Scott Pilgrim vs. The World. I’d suggest you go see it, especially those of you who are fans of Bryan Lee O’Malley’s comic and Edgar Wright’s films.

I’ve been waiting forever for this movie—due out August 13. Hell, I’ve been waiting forever for this trailer. This has only happened for me on two occasions: this one and Watchmen. In fact, to show you my excitement…I took screenshots. Here are my top three favourites:

1. The first (awake) meeting: Part of the opening of the trailer that just shows that Wright has the atmosphere of the story and the roles (in this scene played by Michael Cera and Mary Elizabeth Winstead) down to its slightest millimeter.

2. The WHIP visual effect: Not only is it a recognizable Toronto location, not only is it an amazing comic effect followed by Cera following through, but it’s also Chris Evans doing probably one of his best roles of all time—the skateborder-turned-movie-actor Lucas Lee.

Look at that visual effect. It’s like a revival of the old Batman series but with so much more purpose.

3. Scott killing a baddie into FUCKING CHANGE: Sorry for the language, but the guy did just turn into Canadian currency. Take a look at the HD trailer and tell me you don’t see Queen Elizabeth’s face on some of the quarters.

I was sold when they said that Edgar Wright was going to make it. I was sold even more when Bryan Lee O’Malley said he was good with how it looks on the War Rocket Ajax podcast. After this?

I just might have peed a little.
