As a North Bay guy I'm really looking forward to this. The author used to live in North Bay and he wrote that the "Kim Pine" character in the comic attended Nipissing University. She's actually the second comic book character to attend the university (the first being Elizabeth in For Better or For Worse).

I think Scott Pilgram was supposed to have grown up in North Bay before moving to Toronto.

They're taking over the Parliament and Carlton area to do some "preliminary filming" for this movie today.

This is what i know:
From http://cabbagetownnews.blogspot.com
Seems odd, a PA asked me when i was going to move my car off of Parliament this morning, and I asked him what they were filming, and he said they were "only doing some preliminary filming for Scott Pilgrim". Sounds like it's more serious than that. Until 11pm, too? Dag, yo. I'll take pictures when I get home.
They chose a good day to "depict" winter.

The 'spaced' marathon was very enjoyable at Bloor West, 3 bucks to get in and Edgar Wright was around for several Q and A sessions (even handed out some Jaffa Cakes), though he left before the bitter end, must've needed his shuteye for the filming.

I sat in OMI last night and watched them fill the streets with snow and then film the bus scene. It was quite something.

So he is an expat? When I read he lived in Toronto for 3 years, I thought he was a temporary "reverse" expat. So much for an "American" loving Canada. Sad.

I'm not sure, but I think you're confusing the fictional character Scott Pilgrim with the author.

Brian Lee O'Malley, the author, grew up in North Carolina and then moved to Toronto where he indeed fell in love.
Scott Pilgrim, the character, is from North Bay and becomes a Torontonian in the comic.
anyway! anybody spot the crew around town?

Yeah, I got a bunch of pictures from the Cabbagetown shoot, but I keep forgetting to bring the cord that attaches my phone to my computer to work. I'll get around to it...
