Argh! This just came out! I haven’t even seen it yet! Scott Pilgrim vs. The World is the one movie of the summer that I promised myself I would catch in the cinemas, no matter the cost. And here it is, just a couple of weeks after hitting the big screen, already available for pre-order on Amazon. This does not bode well for its longevity at my local AMC.
While you can “Sign up to be notified when this item becomes available” on Amazon.com, the Canadian site, Amazon.ca offers a little more detail about the Blu-ray release along with the ability to pre-order the disc. According to the e-tailer, the Blu-ray disc will be available on November 9 with an MSRP $46.99 CDN, which will most likely end up being an MSRP of $39.98 US, given the pricing on like Universal releases of late.
Until Universal makes an official announcement we won’t have confirmation of any details, aside from the inclusion of the animation below, which was revealed as a DVD/Blu-ray special feature by the director, Edgar Wright himself. I would also place bets on the package art shown above (featured on Blu-ray.com) being a temp version and that we might see something altogether different when the studio finally makes their announcement. As always, I’ll keep you updated with any news I come across.
UPDATE: So, it looks like someone at Amazon.ca got the old beat-down for posting the pre-order prematurely! It’s been unceremoniously yanked from the site, leaving this post as the only evidence of the information leak.
Sigh…
I hope this is true. I’ve seen the movie 3 times in the theater already, and it’s probably in my top 5 favorite films now. I think it’s the first movie that was geared specifically towards my generation, and I can’t wait to have it on Blu-ray!
