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).
The Invisible World follows four unlikely friends—Maya, Jamal, Tessa, and Leo—who used to be inseparable until growing up and growing apart. One summer afternoon, while half-heartedly helping clean up their overgrown backyard, they stumble upon a strange, glowing flower that shrinks them to the size of insects. Lost among towering blades of grass and enormous petals, the kids must navigate a vast, hidden world teeming with life, wonder, and danger. Guided by tiny allies and eventually brought before the wise but weary Forest King, they learn that the peaceful realm beneath their feet is under siege. The ruthless Wasp Queen and her army threaten to destroy everything in their path, spreading fear and darkness through the forest. To return home—and to save the invisible world—they must put aside old grudges, rediscover their friendship, and summon the courage to stand together against impossible odds. A story of unity, courage, and rediscovery, The Invisible World reveals that sometimes the smallest people can make the biggest difference.
