Edgar Howard Wright , made with recurrent collaborators Simon Pegg, Nira Park and Nick Frost. He also collaborated with them as the director of the television series Spaced.
Brother Oscar Wright is an artist.
Is a huge fan of action films.
Is a huge fan of George A. Romero s zombie films, and his film Shaun of the Dead is filled with references to them. He also made a cameo appearance (along with star and co-writer of Shaun of the Dead Simon Pegg ) in George A. Romero s fourth zombie picture, Land of the Dead .
Asked Simon Pegg to turn down a role in Dog Soldiers , as Wright wanted Peggs first role in a horror film to be in Shaun of the Dead .
On most of his films, there are certain special features; such as a trivia track that runs with the movie, a scene of the movie with the characters voices dubbed, and a hand drawn easter egg of some sort.
His favorite film is the criminal comedy film Raising Arizona .
According to the June 2007 issue of Empire magazine, the films that most influenced Wright were Raising Arizona , Lola rennt , Dirty Harry , Raiders of the Lost Ark , Lat sau san taam , The Evil Dead and Il buono, il brutto, il cattivo .
He is known for asking for many takes during filming, and has been referred to by frequent collaborator Simon Pegg as a "perfectionist" (in a complimentary way).
Despite the fact that they contain numerous fantasy elements, his films are heavily autobiographical. For example, a number of the characters, events, and dramatic situations in The Worlds End are directly based on people he knew and his own personal experiences.
Has said that he directed one single shot of Star Trek: Into Darkness during the scene featuring the Klingons on Kronos while being uncredited for that shot.
Russell T. Davies offered Wright the job to direct the "Doctor Who" episode "Doctor Who" {Rose } but he had to turn it down as he was already busy directing Shaun of the Dead .
Dropped out of the directors position for Ant-Man , after developing the film for over 10 years, due to creative differences between himself and Marvel Studios. He is still credited as screenwriter and story writer.
Was considered to direct Star Trek: Beyond .
Was considered to direct Mission: Impossible - Ghost Protocol .
In the second series of The League of Gentlemen (BBC) he was parodied by Reece Shearsmith, as a hospital doctor trying to tell someone they were terminally ill but only able to do it by making constant references to films such as Beaches etc.
feeling as the ending of,Star Wars: Episode V - The Empire Strikes Back (1980) .
You either liked Spinal Tap or you were not worth talking to,When I am not working, I try to watch more than one film a day if I can.
I was at art school that had quite a celebrated film course as well. I,tried for that film course when I was 18, but they said I was too,young. I tried this audio and visual design course instead. Two years,later, I reapplied for that higher course, but they said I was still,too young and to try in five years.
And even though Michael Mann is the more celebrated film-maker than,Tony Scott, I love them both in different ways.
Maybe directors who are more interested in realism and naturalism come,from cities, where they see things on their doorstep every day. But,growing up as a kid in a very pretty but ever-so-slightly boring town,where not a great deal happened, encouraged me to be more escapist,more imaginative, and more of a daydreamer.
I guess a lot of comic-book adaptations strive for realism. Christopher,Nolan is making Batman seem very real and very serious.
I tire of franchises, remakes, and endless sequels.
Not everybody fantasizes about robbing a bank, but I think most people,have that fantasy of being in a high speed chase.
The second is Scott Pilgrim believes himself to be awesome.
When I was at school, I used to end every school day with fountain pen,ink all over my hands and face and down my shirt.
If you ever watch police chases on, like, helicopter cams, they very,quickly become nightmarish when you start to see the police coming in,from the edge of the frame. I always find that terrifying.
Wes Anderson deserves an award for sheer persistence of vision.
Critics should think about how the opening weekend audience might want,to discover some surprises for themselves,My parents used to talk about Sergio Leone films a lot. And I got really,into them. I love Clint Eastwood. I love the camera angles. I love the,music.
The experience of returning to the blank page and having nothing in the drawer was intensely painful. I just thought, I never want that to happen again.
We need to make more original movies, and audiences would do well to support original movies for the future of the medium.
