In the house, today is the iconic screenwriter and director, of Scott Pilgrim vs. the World, Shaun of the Dead and Blockbuster hit, Baby Driver, Edgar Wright. Edgar has been on the scene making and writing satirical genre films, while also acting for almost thirty years.
He’s here today to talk about his most recent and upcoming film, Last Night In Soho. It is set for release on October 29, 2021, and stars the Queen’s Gambit star, Anya Taylor-Joy. The “Last Night in Soho” title is taken from a song by those Tarantino soundtrack favorites Dave Dee, Dozy, Beaky, Mick & Tich.
The film’s plot: Eloise, a young woman with a passion for fashion design and a strange sixth sense, finds herself transported back in time to 1966 London in the body of an iconic nightclub singer of the era named Sandie. While in Sandie's body, Eloise begins a romantic relationship; but she begins to realize that Sandie's life in the Swinging Sixties is not as glamorous as it appears to be and both past and present begin to fall apart with horrifying consequences.
Edgar is the ultimate creator. He’s worked across several genres of entertainment besides films. Some of the said expansion includes television, and music videos production, as well as video games.
Like most up-and-coming creators and filmmakers, we start off on a budget. Edgar began making independent short films around 1993 before making his first feature film A Fistful of Fingers in 1995.
Some other projects he created and directed are the 1996 comedy series, Asylum, the 1999 sitcom, Spaced, and about twenty-plus others since then.
In 2017, he made waves at the Box office with Baby Driver, grossing $226 million globally. The commercial success of the film was due to the positive word-of-mouth support and flagging interest in blockbuster franchises.
Baby Driver starred Ansel Elgort, who played the role of a getaway driver seeking freedom from a life of crime with his girlfriend, played by Lily James.
Other A-list actors joined the supporting cast of the film-- the likes of Jon Hamm, Eiza González, Jamie Foxx, and Jon Bernthal. The Sony Pictures distributed film earned numerous nominations; including three Academy Awards, two BAFTA Film Awards, and two Critics' Choice Awards.
It was exciting chatting up with Edgar about his signature editing style, writing, and the success of his career.
Please enjoy my conversation with Edgar Wright, and be sure to check out his film Last Night in Soho which comes out tomorrow.

Edgar doesn’t feel like a director hustling product.....more like an excited creative eager to to share what he’s made

I really like Alex's sweet/good bro energy! Congratulations on getting Edgar Wright here! Here's to many more amazing guests 💯
The Incredibly Strange Film Show was great. Wossy also did a very interesting schools programme about Japanese graphic novels including Akira.
interesting Interview one of my all time favourite Filmmakers a shame it couldn't have been more in depth I guess that's because they're on the press run for the movie
that is correct.
I’m so looking forward to his adaptation of Stephen King’s The Running Man!

Is this going to be Live and open for questions in the chat? If not then what's the point of this trendy "Premier" thing?
Wait. Why was it so short? Why didn't you ask him the questions you all of your guests? Aw man...
They only gave so much time with Edgar = /
@@IndieFilmHustle Okay understood... Well I'm still happy you got to talk to him and share it with us. Thanks man.
I only recently got bitten by the film bug (coming from a theatre background) and he's my fave filmmaker and Indie Film Hustle is by far my fave podcast!!
He’s a busy guy, and especially now that his new film came out, he’s probably got a packed daily schedule.
