Edgar Wright
Biography
Edgar Wright is an English filmmaker whose fast-paced, satirical genre films make heavy use of popular music and elaborate camera moves. He grew up largely in Somerset and started out making independent short films, releasing his first feature, the spoof western A Fistful of Fingers, in 1995. After creating the 1996 comedy series Asylum with David Walliams, he directed the sitcom Spaced, which ran from 1999 to 2001 and starred Simon Pegg and Nick Frost. He and Pegg then wrote Shaun of the Dead (2004), a zombie comedy that opened the Three Flavours Cornetto trilogy, and followed it with Hot Fuzz (2007) and The World's End (2013). His later work includes Scott Pilgrim vs. the World (2010), Baby Driver (2017), the Sparks documentary The Sparks Brothers and Last Night in Soho, both from 2021.
