Edgar Wright : Director Research

Two of the films I am about to analyse (Scott Pilgrim VS the World & Hot Fuzz) have been directed by Edgar Wright, so both me and Kirsty thought we should research this director; he also directed Shaun of the Dead which also stars Simon Pegg. Edgar Wright is a British director and amazingly he is only 37 years old even though he has worked on many successful films. In Scott Pilgrim VS the World, Edgar wrote, directed and produced the film showing that the task me and Kirsty have to do is manageable and can still produce good results. In Hot Fuzz, Edgar Wright also multi-tasked by directing, writing and starring in the film. He specialises in independent, low-budget British films that is why a lot of his projects are very quirky and individual; also, they mainly appeal to a younger audience like how we want our 'Science Boys' too. Also, Wright's brother Oscar is a comic book artist who helps contribute to storyboards and promotional material (for example, he designed comic book interpretations of the characters in Shaun of the Dead, ideal for freeze frame ideas we have had for 'Science Boys')
