Edgar Howard Wright (born 18 April 1974) is an English filmmaker. He is known for his fast-paced and kinetic, satirical genre films, which feature extensive utilisation of expressive popular music, Steadicam tracking shots, dolly zooms and a signature editing style that includes transitions, whip pans and wipes. He first made independent short films before making his first feature film, A Fistful of Fingers, in 1995. Wright created and directed the comedy series Asylum in 1996, written with David Walliams. After directing several other television shows, Wright directed the sitcom Spaced (1999–2001), which aired for two series and starred frequent collaborators Simon Pegg and Nick Frost. In 2004, Wright directed the zombie comedy Shaun of the Dead, starring Pegg and Frost, the first film in Wright's Three Flavours Cornetto trilogy. The film was co-written with Pegg—as were the next two entries in the trilogy, the buddy cop film Hot Fuzz (2007) and the science fiction comedy The World's End (2013). In 2010, Wright co-wrote and directed the action comedy film Scott Pilgrim vs. the World, an adaptation of the graphic novel series. Along with Joe Cornish and Steven Moffat, he adapted The Adventures of Tintin (2011) for Steven Spielberg. Wright and Cornish co-wrote the screenplay for the Marvel Cinematic Universe film Ant-Man in 2015, which Wright intended to direct but abandoned, citing creative differences. He has also written and directed the action film Baby Driver (2017), the documentary The Sparks Brothers, and the psychological horror film Last Night in Soho (both 2021).
Legion M and Co-Op Entertainment are excited to announce Girl with No Name, a feature film produced by Co-Op Entertainment’s Laura Ivey and directed by Co-Op’s Tanya Wexler (Hysteria), with Legion M — the world’s first fan-owned entertainment company — serving as executive producer on its second original feature film. Set in 1869 Wild West, the Girl With No Name universe and its mysterious, gunslinger heroine, The Girl, came alive for the first time in a comic book created by director Tanya Wexler along with Tula Lotay (Supreme: Blue Rose), Dani Strips (2000AD), and Dave Elliott of AtomekART. After the Girl’s entire family is murdered by highwaymen, her bounty hunter Uncle takes her under his wing and teaches her everything he knows about shootin’. When he is murdered by the same gang of highwaymen years later, the Girl – now a fully formed gunslinger – seeks revenge.
