Michael Bacall to adapt comic book - Scott Pilgrim

Marc Platt Productions along with Universal have tapped Michael Bacall to adapt comic book “Scott Pilgrim’s Precious Little Life”, reports Variety. “Shaun of the Dead” helmer Edgar Wright is aboard to direct it.

The first in a three-part series by Bryan Lee O’Malley, published last year by Oni Press, follows a suburban slacker who finds himself in a kung fu tale, battling his dream girl’s seven evil ex-boyfriends to win her hand.

Bacall also has sold spec “Psycho Funky Chimp” to Dimension and set up L.A. graffiti drama pitch Graff with New Line for Noah Emmerich to produce.
