Does Scott Pilgrim take place in a fantasy world, reality, or all in his imagination?
EW: I think it’s in his imagination. Bryan Lee O’Malley had this great quote which was actually; he gave the actors a list of 10 fun facts for the actors. Number one fact was ‘Scott Pilgrim is the hero of the movie inside his own head’. I thought that was such a great quote and I think in a way it’s like you’re watching the slightly unreliable biography of the daydreamer. It’s like Scott Pilgrim is sort of a fantasist. Maybe too many video games, too many comics, too many Saturday morning cartoons, too much sugary products has results in this completely fabricated version of his life. Which is a total exaggeration. I like that idea if you want to read into it, like with the scene where he walks into the bathroom then when he walks back out he’s in the school corridor in a dream. It’s not really clear whether he’s awake or dreaming. I like it if people think, ‘Well, does he ever wake up?’ Is the rest of the film this kind of crazy cheese dream involving vegan rock gods.
