It’s been 15 years since North Carolina-born actor Mary Elizabeth Winstead shot cult film “Scott Pilgrim vs. The World” in the city, and she still holds it close to her heart
"Scott Pilgrim" star Mary Elizabeth Winstead says she still feels a special connection to Toronto, 15 years after shooting the film in the city.Just like the evil movie exes who can’t get over her “Scott Pilgrim” alter ego Ramona Flowers, Mary Elizabeth Winstead can’t get over Toronto.
“Being here and just looking out the window as we’re driving around, I’m like, ‘Oh my God.’ Being on Bloor and being in all these spots, like the Paradise Theatre, all these little memories come back of just hanging out here. We were all very young and free, and Toronto was our little playground for a while.”
The franchise was revived last year with “Scott Pilgrim Takes Off,” an animated Netflix series voiced by the movie’s cast that drastically reimagines the original story.“I was aware of ‘Scott Pilgrim’ once I'd met Mary. I watched it and I really loved it, and I loved her in it,” McGregor says in a separate video call to promote his starring role in “A Gentleman in Moscow.”
In the 2010 film, Pilgrim is advised to break out the “L-word” to Flowers, but mistakenly thinks it’s “lesbians.” Later in the movie, he tells her, “I’m in lesbians with you.”
