Edgar Wright Quotes

English - Director | April 18, 1974 -

Not everybody fantasizes about robbing a bank, but I think most people have that fantasy of being in a high speed chase.

People Think Speed Fantasy High

When we made 'Shaun of the Dead,' it was our first feature, and we were just lucky to make a film, full stop.

Stop Lucky Dead First Film Just

When you're struggling to get a feature film off the ground, there's no big overarching tenure plan or anything like that.

Plan You Ground Anything Big Film

We got offers to make sequels to both 'Shaun of the Dead' and 'Hot Fuzz,' and they never really interested us because we like having these endings where it seems very final but could hint at some kind of future adventure that you'll never see.

Future Adventure You Kind Never Hot

There are lots of films I wish stopped at installment number one. I like 'Back to the Future Part II' and 'Part III' enough, but I still like the ending of the first one better.

Future Ending Better Wish Enough

I grew up on Marvel and, like, '2000 AD.'

Up Like Marvel Grew Ad

I was never a DC kid - I went through a phase from, like, 11 to 17 where I would try to buy as many Marvel titles as possible. And '2000 AD' was kind of the sort of sci-fi/punk of British comics.

Kind Possible Try Never Kid Buy

I find just in terms of free time I'm always envious of people I know who... listen to music, watch films, play games, read books. I have to pick. And I find frequently that if I've got Sophie's Choice, I'll try to keep up with music and keep up with films. So my book reading and comic reading and game playing is terrible and infrequent.

Music Time People Book Game Reading

I grew up on 'Battle of the Planets.'

Battle Up Planets Grew

I'm very happy with the response for everything I've done, but, you know, sometimes you get things like, 'Oh, 'Spaced' Series One wasn't as good as 'Spaced' Series Two.' Or 'Shaun of the Dead' is not as good as 'Spaced,' or, 'Hot Fuzz' is not as good as 'Shaun.' Or, now, 'The World's End' is not 'Shaun of the Dead.'

Good Happy World End You Sometimes

You cannot put 50 years of the Marvel universe into a movie. It's impossible.

Impossible Universe You Years Cannot

Comics have years to explain this stuff, and in a movie, you have to focus on one thing. So it's about kind of streamlining, I think. Some of the most successful origin films actually have a narrower focus.

Focus Think You Kind Explain Years
