	Exclusive: Edgar Wright Talks Ant-Man - Superhero Hype!
		Director Edgar Wright was at Comic-Con in San Diego this year for two reasons, to talk about his second feature film, Hot Fuzz, a police action spoof once again with Simon Pegg and Nick Frost, and to talk about the new movie he would be directing for Marvel Studios, based on the Marvel superhero Ant-Man.
		Wright: No, not specifically about Ant-Man. I just brought it up because they asked me if I was interested in any Marvel titles, and I had written a treatment for Ant-Man three years ago, but that was the first they had ever heard of it.
		Wright: Well, the thing is that what we want to do, the idea that we have for the adaptation is to actually involve both.

	Edgar Wright - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Edgar Wright (born 18 April 1974) is an English film and television director.
		Wright started directing his own movies at the age of 14 when he was at the school of Wells Blue School, Wells, Somerset (his home city).
		The critical success of Spaced paved the way for Wright and Pegg to move to the big screen with Shaun of the Dead, a zombie comedy which mixed a "brit flick" romantic comedy style with homages to the horror classics of George A. Romero and Sam Raimi.

	Merchant Prince and Master Builder: Edgar J. Kaufmann and Frank Lloyd Wright
		Wright, an aging and cantankerous genius whose family motto was ”Truth against the world,” seemed to some observers near the end of his long, productive career as he approached 70.
		Edgar Kaufmann, one of the most creative of storeowners, was a constant advocate of Modernism in style and technology, and in merchandising good design.
		Wright’s plans welcomed the automobile age with giant bridges, ramps, and parking facilities—but in later decades monstrous parking garages of reinforced concrete turned out not to be the salvation of cities.

		Edgar wanted Simon to laugh quite naturally, so every now and again on the set, he whispers something to you and you have to follow his orders and it was do something different every time.
		Edgar's whispers are quite nice because it usually means he will put someone's life in danger - usually mine.
		Edgar: But also in terms of film references and media references, we were quite careful not to have anything that was too English.

	Exclusive: Director Edgar Wright and Actor Nick Frost talk about the U.S. debut of Shaun of the Dead
		Edgar: It's tricky with comedy and horror because you have all these fancy camera angles and moves but the comedy has to be there and can't be forced.
		Edgar: But some of the other cast was new and we rehearsed a lot and had real good chemistry between them.
		Edgar: Yeah and Alex Garland on the other hand was completely cool to say hey this film is a homage to George Romero, John Windom and other influences.

	Science Fiction Weekly Interview
		Wright: Almost imagine that if this was happening in Pittsburgh, this is happening here in London at the same time, so imagine it's part of the same universe, in a way.
		Wright: We wanted to be reasonably faithful, because there's a tendency with a lot of horror films, post-Scream, to make it very flash as a way to disguise the genre, as if horror is a dirty word.
		Wright: It was a weird mix of emotions, because I wanted it to be good, because I knew if it was a hit we'd stand a better chance of ours getting made.

		The first interview is a telephone conversation I had with Shaun of the Dead director Edgar Wright as he was editing trailers for on the film's European releases - German, I think - and is split between talk on Shaun and his earlier work on a brilliant little television show called Spaced.
		EDGAR: We had to change one track and there were a couple of trailers that we weren’t allowed to put on the DVDs because of music but other than that we were quite lucky.
		EDGAR: The toughest thing about casting the film is that apart from Simon and Nick every part had three or four really good friends or colleagues up for the role and that was tough.

	An Interview With Edgar Wright and Simon Pegg (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-30)
		Edgar: Yeah, it was one of the initial sort of ideas, partly because we wanted to write something about our own sort of life, and not London, but also we thought it would be quite funny, that, you know, because most British exports are romantic comedies.
		Edgar: Well, the show that we did, Spaced, was sort of a satire sitcom about two roomates, and it had a lot of dream sequences.
		Edgar: It seems it's also like a crime against film history, because then, in twenty years time, if that's the only left, is the DVDs, it's like, well, this was done in 1977, and this crappy Jabba the Hutt bit was done in 1997.

	EXCLUSIVE: Shaun of the Dead creators Simon Pegg & Edgar Wright swing their Cricket Bat at B. Alan Orange
		Edgar: The initial idea was; we're both big fans of the genreâ¦We wanted to do something in the zombie genre, and also pay tributeâ¦Not just to that, but also to the more paranoid, contemporary horrors like Invasion of the Body Snatchers.
		Edgar: Part of the reason it works, like with Shaun of the Dead, is thatâ¦You couldn't remake Shaun of the Dead in the United States because half of the joke is that it's the British spin on an established American genre.
		Edgar: The reason we wrote the script was because in the wake of the seriesâ¦I can't believe I missed the chance to slag off the remakeâ¦Anyway, we definitely wrote the film as something for us to do.

	Cinema Confidential News: 09/22/04 - INTERVIEW: Director Edgar Wright on "Shaun of the Dead"
		Director Edgar Wright and star Simon Pegg bring their wacky comic styles to their very successful zombie import, "Shaun of the Dead." A romance, horror, comedy, spoof all in one, the film takes us back to George Romero's classic zombie films and puts a new twist in the genre.
		EDGAR: I felt that for a film that’s really, really serious the idea that it’s based on the idea that a monkey has watched some footage of some riots causes a national epidemic is pretty insane.
		And that’s actually my voice at the end, the newsreader saying, “And initial reports that the virus was caused by rage infected monkeys has now been dismissed as complete bullshit.” Luckily Andrew McDonald, who is the producer of that film, thought it was really funny.

	SPLICEDwire \| "Shaun of the Dead" movie review (2004) "Shaun of the Dead" review, Edgar Wright, Simon Pegg, Nick Frost, ...
		A commentary with writer-star Simon Pegg and writer-director Edgar Wright is a hoot - terrifically entertaining and funny, while full of groovy little tidbits about the filming and about Wright's choices as a director.
		Writers Edgar Wright (who directs) and Simon Pegg (who plays the title character) have labeled their flick a "zom-rom-com" (zombie romantic comedy), and they delight in taking wickedly funny potshots at all the clichés that inspired them, beginning with the morning Shaun wakes up oblivious to a world full of flesh-starved ghouls.
		When scores of zombies inevitably encroach on the barricaded booze house, the movie's humor dips markedly as the bloody body-count rises, which is the one shortcoming that can't be easily shrugged off as part of the flick's cut-rate charm.

	Combustible Celluloid film review - Shaun of the Dead (2004), Edgar Wright, Simon Pegg, Kate Ashfield, dvd review
		I sat down to Edgar Wright's Shaun of the Dead with a certain resign.
		Directed by Edgar Wright from a screenplay he co-authored with star Pegg, Shaun of the Dead never stops being clever and inventive, as well as brisk and funny.
		Even more improbably, Wright gets in a few serious moments as the characters mourn for lost friends and loved ones, without tipping the film's balance.

		Edgar Wright makes the jump from TV director to film easily, proving himself to have a big future ahead.
		The writing is also spot on from Pegg and Wright, with great snappy dialogue, many quotable lines and enough in-jokes to make any zombie film fan happy.
