Fehrle, Johannes2021-08-032021-08-032015https://mediarep.org/handle/doc/17377In this article, I examine the SCOTT PILGRIM franchise from an adaptation as well as a transmedia franchising angle, setting these approaches off from Henry Jenkins’ conceptualization of transmedia storytelling. By focusing mainly on Edgar Wright’s film adaptation, I examine how remediation is used in the film as a strategy to link the adaptation to the comic books as well as the simultaneously released video game. I argue that the film both integrates itself into the larger franchise by drawing on the other products, particularly through its visual aesthetics, and opens the door to a larger transmedial world by ›simulating‹ its existence through references to other products that seem to, but do not in fact, exist in our world.engTransmedialitätFilmtransmedialityFranchisemoviecomicGameMarketingstorytelling70410.25969/mediarep/16504SCOTT PILGRIM1614-0885
