Did you worry that something that sounds so cool could never actually become a reality? Fear not: it’s real, it’s got a title (Scott Pilgrim Takes Off), there’s a trailer and first images, and it’s got a release date (November 17).

(The movie cast, in other words.)
The executive producers-writers and co-showrunners are Bryan Lee O’Malley and BenDavid Grabinsky (Edgar Wright is also among the list of executive produers). Abel Gongora directs, and the animation studio is Science SARU (DEVILMAN crybaby, Keep Your Hands Off Eizouken!, The Heike Story, Inu-Oh). The original songs are by Anamanaguchi (Scott Pilgrim vs. the World: The Game), which also did the score along with Joseph Trapanese.
