News trickled out of Cuba earlier this summer that filmmakers there planned Juan of The Dead , a horror comedy in which the titular hero takes aim at commie zombies with an oar. His husky ally tags along for comic relief and moral support. Sound familiar? Of course it does. It’s also actually happening , if two new teasers are any indication.

We take a look at what was lost and gained in the translation from page to screen. By Eric Ditzian Michael Cera in “Scott Pilgrim vs. the World” As it made its way to this week’s screen debut, “Scott Pilgrim vs. the World” faced a challenge that comes with all adaptations from comics to film: How faithful do you stay to the established, beloved source material and how much do you strike out on your own, creating new plotlines and aesthetics? There’s no one answer. “Batman Begins” and “The Dark Knight” drew deep inspiration from classic DC Comics issues, while “Wanted” strayed far from its original basis. But it’s always interesting to see where filmmakers draw their creative lines. In adapting Bryan Lee O’Malley’s six-volume “Scott Pilgrim” graphic novel series, Edgar Wright decided to compress six books into one film, and as a result had to ditch a slew of storylines. At the same time, he and his team stayed extremely faithful to the series, incorporating dialogue, major plotlines and O’Malley’s overall, manga-style look. MTV News’ Splash Page blog , which has been providing inexhaustible coverage on the books and the film for two years, put together a very cool video that explores these very questions and makes clear that the novels and the movie share a lot in common. “You have to have that graphic novel as your base,” visual effects supervisor Frazer Churchill told MTV News. “And Edgar made it clear he wanted to be very, very faithful to the comics. And if you compare the [movie’s] finished frames to the comic book panels, it’s pretty much spot on.” “But when you’re adapting black and white lines on a page into a colorful film image, there’s a lot to do in translation,” he added. “You’re mixing photographing real people, adding visual effects and so much more in order to realize a simple drawing on the screen.” Check out everything we’ve got on “Scott Pilgrim vs. the World.” For breaking news and previews of the latest comic book movies — updated around the clock — visit SplashPage.MTV.com .

Unless watching nubile young co-eds get torn to shreds is your idea of a good time, this weekend marks the end of the summer from a box-office relevance standpoint. Though at least things will probably go out with a bang: It has been widely predicted that The Expendables and Eat, Pray, Love will each open to around $30 million in ticket sales, but what of the third major release hitting theaters on Friday, Universal’s Scott Pilgrim vs. The World ? Good question! Ahead, Movieline handicaps its box-office bonafides.

Everyone has the right to love the relics of his or her childhood: PacMan as opposed to Grand Theft Auto, Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles over Dora the Explorer, New Kids on the Block trumping Taylor Swift. But nostalgia can be as cloying as it is comforting, and there comes a time when that wardrobe of ringer T’s emblazoned with cartoon characters ought to be left behind. Especially if you’re a grown-up guy and you have any interest in, you know, actually sleeping with a girl.
