The film was shown on UK television in the early hours of Saturday (13 August).
The live-tweeting all began when Wright expressed relief that it was Scott Pilgrim being shown as opposed to another Hot Fuzz repeat on ITV2.
Upon its release in 2010, Scott Pilgrim vs. the World – the adaptation of Brian Lee O’Malley’s graphic novel – may have failed to set the box-office alight but received near-unanimous critical acclaim.
Edgar Wright’s next film is the comedy-crime film Baby Driver which stars Ansel Elgort, Lily James, Jon Hamm and Jamie Foxx.
