"Anything that's a little bit different is a little bit harder to sell," Wright told MTV News. "And when you have to go beyond the core of the geek audience — and I say that as a geek myself, I don't use it as a derogatory term — you have to work a little bit harder."

"I felt that along the press tour — sometimes it would be a thing where you would find yourself recommending it, but there was always some kind of extra qualification," he explained. "You'd find yourself saying sentences like, 'You don't have to play Nintendo games to enjoy 'Scott Pilgrim.'"

"Suddenly you just feel like there's a lot of extra baggage," he said.

Scott Pilgrim VS The World is currently out on Blu-ray and DVD.


Bleed: It saddens me that this movie was not a huge success. I found it to be the most enjoyable movie of the year so far and doubt any other will catch it(maybe TRON: Legacy). You can check out my review and also follow me on twitter.
