I've still never seen Hot Fuzz or Paul or At Worlds End which is a travesty because Shaun of the Dead is a masterpiece and Simon Pegg is the greatest British comedy icon since Rik Mayall

Paul is skippable- has some moments, but the third act just screams "studio imposed rewrites".

Nice, Baby Driver is an NBA Playoffs sponsor and is getting some good NBA themed prime time ads already on TNT. Looks like Sony is putting some actual money behind it, I hope it means it will do well.

Glad that Wright is getting out from under the Ant-Man shitshow and getting some primetime spotlight, he deserves it.

I think if anything sinks it it will be the fact that Elgort is the lead, I don't think there's much recognition or affinity for the guy.

I thought that Zendaya in the new spiderman was a total unknown but nope she's extremely famous in a demo I have no idea about.

Actors (especially male ones) tend to have pretty spectacular longevity to be fair so a new face does throw you. A lot of the traditional leading men are pushing 50 or just over. People talk about Ryan Gosling like he's part of the new generation of leading men but he's already 36 same with Tom Hiddleston. Even the "young" guys like Michael B Jordan and Miles Teller are 30. Yet if tradition holds they'll be doing the same kind of movies until they're 50+ So it is a bit startling to see Elgort at 23 as a lead especially if his previous stuff is out your demo. He was great in The Fault in our Stars and I'm hopeful he'll stick around.

I didn't even watch that much Mad Men and seeing Jon Hamm not as Don Draper feels weird. I've enjoyed the rest of Wright's movies in the theater so I'll be going to this regardless.

New trailer. Reactions to preview screenings on twitter have been consistently glowing. Less than a month away!! edit: how about I just embed the video https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zclDC3xt5AA Colonel Whitey fucked around with this message at 21:43 on Jun 1, 2017 |

The soundtrack is up and available for pre-order on vinyl on Amazon, Amoeba, and other, more lovely hipster-y (hello, UO) shopping sites. I'm sure someone has probably already made a playlist of all of the songs on Spotify or Apple Music, but I'm definitely picking up a copy for my record collection. Also, I went and read some of the universally glowing reviews and spoiled myself on one of the most Edgar Wright cameos possible: Paul Williams shows up to play a gunrunner.

So the protagonist, Baby, listens to music to get into his getaway car vibes...and looking back to this Mint Royale video, the getaway driver (played by Noel Fielding) uses CDs instead of a watch to count how long a bank robbery's taking. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dfrcZsKcVxU I feel like there's some connection here, I can't be the only one.

I can't tell how sincere you're being, but I'm pretty sure Wright has said that his directing this video gave him the idea for Baby Driver.

That interview pretty clearly states he had the idea well before doing that video, and used his idea for the opening scene as the premise for the video. E: also I just realized, why is the subtitle for this thread not The Fault In Our Cars

Man, I'm really looking forward to this movie but I hate the title so much that I disassociate the movie from it every time. Just saw Jon Hamm introduce his new movie, Baby Driver, at the beginning of trailers yesterday and thought it was some new dumb comedy he was in.

just got out of seeing it. A good movie. Felt like a joyous ode to the genre much like Wright's previous movies. The cast was exceptional as to be expected. There's something to be said for a movie that has a relatively small scope but executes it with incredible competence. While lighter in tone than John Wick or Dredd it feels similar in that talented people are just operating at their best and having fun with making movies. At worse it leans towards being too sentimental but yeah its real neat

Using music to keep track of how long a robbery takes goes back at least as far as Hudson Hawk.

I know this is short notice, but if anybody in the Portland area wants to see this tonight I have a bunch of sneak preview passes. The screening is 7PM at Regal Pioneer Place on SW Morrison, PM me if you want a voucher (gets 2 people in). Got about 15 vouchers in the mail yesterday and haven't had time to give em out to customers. In fact, most people have been completely unaware this movie exists and totally uninterested in it. They just stare blankly at me even when I run through the cast.

Movie is so loving dope. The soundtrack is killer (I wish there was like, just a touch more hip-hop, but there's a really nice variety overall), the acting is great, and the movie is directed as if Edgar Wright were directing the last motion picture ever so he had to go balls to the loving wall. I'm definitely gonna get out to see it again. I really really wish that more directors would use editing and music like Edgar Wright. It's hard to watch something like Baby Driver which is filled with so much life and rhythm and energy and then go back to watch an average blockbuster. Cameos, notes and Edgar Wright Directing Tricks I noticed: *The words of Harlem Shuffle being grafitti'd on the wall as Baby was dancing to them was very fun *I knew Paul Williams was gonna show up and he was wonderful giving that monologue about how great pigs are, but seeing the ATL twins out of nowhere blew me away. Clearly Wright likes Spring Breakers as much as I do. *I'm sure if I went back I could get a better grip, but I'm pretty sure Baby flipping through the channels towards the beginning was our Patented Edgar Wright Gives The Story Away In The First Act moment. *The lighting in the final battle between Baby and Buddy was spot on; Jon Hamm was lit in red, mirroring Darling's talk earlier about him seeing red. *God Sky Ferreira has a beautiful voice. I really wish the soundtrack had a full recording of her singing Easy; the one on there now is only a minute or two long. *I loved how Edgar Wright framed the violence (or rather, didn't frame the violence) early on in the movie to mirror Baby's ignoring of the actual consequences of what he was doing. *I can't believe how Bats died. I genuinely didn't know what was going to happen going into it other than that Jon Hamm would be the final villain, but for some reason I expected Bats to secretly be nice and Doc to be a cold bastard, rather than how it turned out. *Also well used: stereo sound. What you hear mirrors what the characters hear, so when Baby only has one bud in, you only get the music out of one side (the same side as he's listening to, of course). I'm sure there's more I missed in there. Wright stuffs his movies to the gills with little hints, references and funny little jokes, I'm gonna really enjoy what other people see in the movie that I completely missed. So go loving see it you losers. Make this movie the surprise hit of the summer so we can get more Edgar Wright action movies.
