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).

Lawrence Talbot, a washed up and embittered actor, returns to his ancestral home in Wales following news of his father’s passing. Their relationship had always been a strained one. The elder Talbot was a hard drinker who strongly opposed his son’s theatrical ambitions. Decades later, having himself turned to drinking, Lawrence seeks to scrape whatever inner peace he may from the funeral proceedings. But these hopes are instantly dashed upon arrival. It seems his father’s body has disappeared(!), and on top of that, the entire town surrounding his family’s estate has sunken into fear and hostility as a string of grisly murders terrorizes the inhabitants. All eyes turn to a caravan of Romani that’s settled on the outskirts of town. Lawrence, with the aid of Inspector Francis Aberline, will try to locate the remains of his estranged father and in the process come face to face with the very monster of his familial history.
