Nobody Puts Movies In An Order

5 - Edgar Wright: Scott Pilgrim (2010) v. Baby Driver (2017)


Listen Later

When Edgar Howard Wright was 21, he wrote a treatment for a film idea that came to him while listening to "Orange", an album by the Jon Spencer Blues Explosion. With no producer attached, he started to work on other projects, including music videos where he road tested parts of this high-speed car chase concept. His work on these videos led to him creating Shaun of the Dead with Simon Pegg, and his work on that feature got him recognised by Hollywood, who attached him to the film adaptation of the Scott Pilgrim books by Bryan Lee O'Malley. It was at this point in his career that his treatment from 1995 started to get buzz and a team attached, with Wright finally developing the story and then the screenplay. Seven years after the release of Scott Pilgrim vs. the World, the little treatment that could was finally released as a big-budget Hollywood motion picture. It was called Baby Driver.


A massive thank you goes to Emma Thorpe, the composer and producer of all of our music.
