Today, Oni Press released the cover of the final installment in Bryan Lee O'Malley's hit comic book series and announced that "Scott Pilgrim Vol. 6: Scott Pilgrim's Final Hour" will hit shelves on July 20, 2010.
The grand finale to the award-winning series will feature 248 pages of "evil-ex butt-kicking in the easily digestible digest format" and bring a conclusion to the story of Scott Pilgrim's fight against the seven evil-exes of Ramona Flowers.
"It feels great to be in the home stretch, and I think this is going to be the best Scott Pilgrim book ever!" said O'Malley on the Oni Press website.
The finale's release is timed a few weeks before the release of Edgar Wright's "Scott Pilgrim vs. The World," slated to hit theaters August 12, 2010. Comic fans are eagerly waiting to see Michael Cera take on the role of Pilgrim, alongside a cast of other notable actors including Brandon Routh, Jason Schwartzman, Chris Evans and Mary Elizabeth Winstead
Interview with Brie Larson/Envy Adams

Brie: I play Scott Pilgrim’s ex-girlfriend, Envy Adams. They were in a band together, and I wanted to sell out and be the biggest band in Toronto, but he wasn’t too interested, so we broke up and the band broke up and I started my own band, which becomes the hugest band in Toronto. With that, I’ve sold my soul to the musical devil, and I have a new voice and awesome clothes and am everywhere. I basically just haunt his existence.
Are you singing in the film?
Brie: Yeah, I do sing in it. And, we have band T-shirts and posters, and a little performance in it.
Is there any cool crazy action going on around you?
Brie: Oh, yeah, the whole movie. I don’t think there’s a page where there isn’t something with action happening. It’s the most amazing action-packed thing I’ve ever seen in my life.
How does that quick editing change your process?
Brie: It’s definitely a new way of acting because it’s not like you do a full scene in a day. Everything is planned out down to the blink. (Director/writer) Edgar Wright is the first person I’ve ever had tell me that I blink too much. Because my whole character has got this evil gaze through most of it, every blink, every head turn, every whip pan was so strategically placed, which makes it very fun and more like a play or dancing than actually just acting.
What was your first reaction to the comic?
Brie: Well, the script was actually extremely top secret, so even when I auditioned for it, I didn’t really know what it was or what was going on. The only thing that I had to go off of were the books. So, I was lucky enough that the character I created fit right in with exactly what he was doing, but I was doing the whole thing basically with a blindfold.
Then, when I actually got the job, I didn’t even know how much I was even in the movie, if at all. Once I read it, it was just so unlike anything else I had ever read. I think the whole thing made way more sense when we all showed up in Toronto and were in costume. You get to see all of these things that are on the page and that are in the graphic novel completely come to life. All of our clothes and everything are taken directly from it. It’s so completely true, down to Scott Pilgrim’s sweat bands, that have a certain stripe across them. It’s all there. Every single hair is in the right place. I think it’s going to make the fans really, really excited to see it.
Is the music poking fun of certain music?
Brie: I think that it probably is poking fun at pop music and a band that’s just so completely commercialized, but at the same time, you can’t deny that the song is the most infectious song. So, I think that they picked the perfect song, in the perfect way. It’s still a rock song, but at the same time, it really gets stuck in your head.
So, you could have a hit single?
Brie: Yeah, that would be kind of weird. I have heard that they might release the song as a single for the movie. We actually did some interviews as the band for MTV, so I hope that they actually use those. I said, “I don’t want to be interviewed as myself. I want to do this like we’re a real band and start this fake following of this band.”
