Edgar Wright

Edgar Howard Wright (born 18 April 1974) is an English filmmaker. He is known for his fast-paced and kinetic, satirical genre films, which feature extensive utilisation of expressive popular music, Steadicam tracking shots, dolly zooms and a signature editing style that includes transitions, whip pans and wipes. He first made independent short films before making his first feature film ''A Fistful of Fingers'' in 1995. Wright created and directed the comedy series ''Asylum'' in 1996, written with David Walliams. After directing several other television shows, Wright directed the sitcom ''Spaced'' (1999–2001), which aired for two series and starred frequent collaborators Simon Pegg and Nick Frost.

In 2004, Wright directed the zombie comedy ''Shaun of the Dead,'' starring Pegg and Frost, the first film in Wright's ''Three Flavours Cornetto'' trilogy. The film was co-written with Pegg—as were the next two entries in the trilogy, the buddy cop film ''Hot Fuzz'' (2007) and the science fiction comedy ''The World's End'' (2013). In 2010, Wright co-wrote and directed the action comedy film ''Scott Pilgrim vs. the World'', an adaptation of the graphic novel series. Along with Joe Cornish and Steven Moffat, he adapted ''The Adventures of Tintin'' (2011) for Steven Spielberg. Wright and Cornish co-wrote the screenplay for the Marvel Cinematic Universe film ''Ant-Man'' in 2015, which Wright intended to direct but abandoned, citing creative differences. He has also wrote and directed the action film ''Baby Driver'' (2017), the documentary ''The Sparks Brothers'' and the psychological horror film ''Last Night in Soho'' (both 2021).
