Baby Driver
Baby Driver is an action film written and directed by Edgar Wright. First released on June 28, 2017, it tells the story of a young Atlanta-based getaway driver's (Ansel Elgort) quest for freedom from a life of crime with his lover Debora (Lily James). The film also features Kevin Spacey, Jon Hamm, Eiza González, Jamie Foxx and Jon Bernthal in supporting roles. Baby Driver was a longtime passion project Wright had developed for over two decades, and his early directing experience shaped his ambitions for the project. Filming took place over four months, which involved the planning of meticulously coordinated stunts, choreography, and in-camera shooting. Baby Driver was praised by critics for its craftsmanship, but the characterization and scriptwriting drew mixed responses. During its initial theatrical run, the film $226 million at the global box office, boosted by positive word-of-mouth support and fatiguing interest in blockbuster franchises. The success of Baby Driver has increased studio interest in producing a sequel. (Full article...)
