Scott Pilgrim Takes Off is getting the band back together, largely thanks to Edgar Wright’s connections.Speaking to The New York Times, showrunners Bryan Lee O’Malley and BenDavid Grabinski praised their show’s executive producer and former Scott Pilgrim vs. the World director for bringing his entire movie cast back to voice their respective characters. “I have to give thanks to Edgar Wright,” Grabinski insisted. He further elaborated, “One, he put together one of the best ensemble casts of all time. And two, they all loved the experience so much that we benefited from that. After we started making the show, he reached out to the cast. He sent them the scripts and they immediately all said yes. We can’t take credit for the returning cast members.”O’Malley, who wrote the Scott Pilgrim books, then touched upon his prior collaboration with Wright in selecting Scott Pilgrim vs. the World cast, all of whom have gone on to have major film and TV careers. “He showed me every casting tape. So it’s really cool to have seen all those people flower so much and to get a chance for them to come back and revisit that work with their newfound maturity,” he explained, adding, “The same way I feel about it, looking back and revisiting and finding new shading, the way we were finding it in the writing, they found in the acting. There’s a profound feeling to it and I love that.”RELATED: Scott Pilgrim Takes Off Creators Details How Different The Story Will Be
