| TIFF proudly presents a special screening of the first three episodes of the highly anticipated Netflix series Scott Pilgrim Takes Off. Writers, co-showrunners, and executive producers Bryan Lee O’Malley and BenDavid Grabinski join TIFF for an onstage conversation about their animated adaptation of O’Malley’s iconic Toronto-set graphic novel series. Scott, Ramona Flowers, all seven of her evil exes, and the rest of the original cast from Edgar Wright’s Scott Pilgrim vs. the World reunite for a familiar but brand new adventure in Scott Pilgrim Takes Off, premiering on November 17 on the platform. This special screening is part of TIFF’s Primetime programming and will take place on Wednesday, November 15 at 7 p.m. Additionally, TIFF patrons have the opportunity to relive some of the magic from the original film, as Ramona Flower’s original costume from the live-action Scott Pilgrim vs. the World (2010), worn by Mary Elizabeth Winstead, is currently on loan from NBCUniversal Archives and on display for a limited time in the newly renovated third floor of the TIFF Bell Lightbox.
