Scott Pilgrim In The Hood
I had a conversation with a high-school teacher about Bryan Lee O’Malley’s Scott PIlgrim series over the weekend. He wanted to know if it would be a good adoption for his English class. “Hell ya” I said. Then yesterday in my travels I discovered a shooting location notice for the Second Cup at Queen and Augusta. My heart sunk a bit. Thumbs for them retaining the Second Cup brand for the movie version but I was a wee sad that the St. Clair and Bathurst location isn’t going to get love in the film. What made reading the series so much fun, in part, was my own familiarity with the locations in the books. Dammit I want to be location scout for this movie! (My sense of ownership on this property is getting out of hand.) Here’s hoping the sculpture from the Toronto Reference Library makes an appearance in the film.
