While shooting Scott Pilgrim vs. The World in our fair city last year, director Edgar Wright made Toronto his home. When Wright wasn’t busy making his movie—which wasn’t often—he was engaging with the local film community. On several occasions he curated his Wright Stuff film series at a local movie house that shall remain nameless.

But that was 2009. This is 2010 and Scott Pilgrim is about to be released. To celebrate Wright’s hipster video game odyssey he is bringing The Wright Stuff back to Toronto. Starting this Friday, August 6th the Toronto Underground Cinema will play host to Wright and The Wright Stuff all weekend!
