The director revealed to MTV that the film is now at the point of being what we'll see when the movie finally hits theaters.
"Yeah, we have a cut, and we're still tinkering with that. It’s a different thing doing a film with lots of effects in it; it’s like another stage to have production be going on during the edit, which is an on-going thing. It’s like a painting, basically."
"There will probably come a point where the film will be essentially finished, apart from the effects which will still be ongoing," he explained. "But our release date is in August...so, we’re not rushing the effects or anything."
Wright was careful not to shed too much light on what fans will see when Scott Pilgrim throws down with Ramona flowers' evil ex-boyfriends. However, he did reveal that there will be plenty of surprises when fights break out in "Scott Pilgrim."
"There’s a bit of everything, really," said Wright when asked about the direction of the action sequences. "We try to represent the art of the books, and there’s also the element of graphics and animation, and there’s digital work too, but then at the same time there’s a lot of stuff that’s in-camera — so there really is a combination of all the three."
"There’s some green-screen stuff, but it’s not solely that," he added. "It’s really a combination of all the different techniques, and that’s what makes it fun...You’ll also be surprised when you see how much the actors are doing their own stunts and fights. It’s quite astonishing."
Universal Studios recently revealed that the UK release date will be on the 27th of August, and in the US somewhere in the same month.
