Finished with his Cornetto trilogy, Edgar Wright is back for his latest, Baby Driver, which debuted its first trailer on the heels of its premiere at SXSW in Austin this week. An action flick guided to the tune of an explosive soundtrack, Ansel Elgort (Divergent; The Fault in the Stars) stars as Baby who is looking to get out of his short stint in crime after meeting the lovely Lily James (Cinderella; Pride and Prejudice and Zombies). Of course, he must do one last job before he can exit stage right.
From what I’ve come to understand, each action beat in the movie is in sync with each song picked by Wright himself. Baby Driver looks like the car chase movie to end all car chase movies. He’s a fine actor, but Elgort hasn’t done much to impress me in what I’ve seen him in. This looks like a role that will break him away from the pack of rising young male talent such as Dylan O’Brien and Miles Teller among others. Then there’s Lily James who I was thoroughly impressed by as Cinderella. As for the rest of the cast, I’m into it.
Although The World’s End didn’t do much for me, I trust Edgar Wright to make this good. His eye for action in Scott Pilgrim vs. The World was impeccable and his quick whit for humor never ceases to amaze. Is it too much to ask for this movie to come out now? Please? I need this movie in my life now. Thanks.
