Ant Hills

Scott Pilgrim Vs. The World helmer Edgar Wright talked with Box Office Magazine recently about the progress of his film adaptation of the comic Ant-Man

"I haven't actually started the second draft yet--I'm not going to be able to until this film [Scott Pilgrim] is out--but what we wrote for the first draft, and what Marvel really liked, is that it's funny, but it's a genre film. It's about the level of comedy that Iron Man has" says Wright.

He adds that the plan is to make a high-concept genre film which takes place in the real world, one that's "slightly different" than your average superhero origin film.

Wright's sensibility is spot on here.. As a fan I can't wait to see how this one turns out
