When the producers of Scott Pilgrim vs. The World promised they would release the new trailer for the film if the official Facebook page reached over 100,000 “Likes”, I don’t think they anticipated such a quick response. In just a few days the viral campaign reached its goal and as promised the new trailer was released last night. Brilliant marketing for a trailer that would have been released eventually, with or without 100,000 likes. Scott Pilgrim vs. The World is based on the graphic novels of Canadian cartoonist Bryan Lee O’Malley. The film is directed by Edgar Wright (Shaun of the Dead, Hot Fuzz) and stars Michael Cera as the eponymous slacker/hero.
