Edgar Wright is hosting a viewing party of his 2010 film Scott Pilgrim vs The World, the director has announced.

Wright shared the news this week, explaining that he plans on live-tweeting the film on Wednesday 20 May from 5pm.

He also revealed that he will share behind-the-scenes stories from the making of the movie, which was based on the series of graphic novels by Bryan Lee O’Malley.

Among the film’s cast were Michael Cera, Brie Larson, Anna Kendrick and Mary Elizabeth Winstead.

“Ahoy! Join me on Wednesday 20 May at 5pm PST where I’ll be live tweeting Scott Pilgrim vs the World for @TheAcademy and sharing tons of behind the scenes stories from the making of it! #ScottPilgrim #WatchWithTheAcademy,” Wright tweeted.

It was recently reported that Wright and Baby Driver producer Nira Park will collaborate with writer-director Joe Cornish and producer Rachael Prior for a new production company, Complete Fiction.

Variety reports that the LA and London-based project will operate across both film and television, and is already working on three new series for Netflix.

Cornish will executive produce the first: an adaptation of Jonathan Stroud’s supernatural detective novels Lockwood & Co, followed by sci-fi horror trilogy The Murders of Molly Southbourne and historical fantasy series The City of Brass.
