Baby Driver

Baby Driver, about a getaway driver named Baby whose tinnitus prompts him to carry an iPod everywhere to distract himself from the noise, is Edgar Wright’s love letter to music. And his particular brand of music seems to be the best kind of toe-tappin’, finger-snappin’, rock ‘n’ roll that’s liable to give both Guardians of the Galaxy mixtapes a run for their money. At last, the full tracklist has been released, so set up your Spotify playlist accordingly.

As the new trailer proudly proclaims (as well it should), Baby Driver is currently sitting at 100 percent on Rotten Tomatoes, which will likely push Edgar Wright’s latest to the top of many must-see summer movie lists. That rare critical consensus could change when Baby Driver hits theaters in a few weeks, but trust us on this: You’re going to want this movie in front of your eyeballs (and in your ears) as soon as humanly possible.

Edgar Wright’s Baby Driver is going to be a sight to behold, simply because it’s two hours of ridiculously cool car stunts seen through Wright’s one-of-a-kind directing style. Also Jon Hamm, Ansel Elgort, and Kevin Spacey are in it, so why is it even a question? Of course we’re all going. A new featurette showcases the lengths all the stars went to in order to make the car stunts look as mind-boggling as possible.

Edgar Wright’s Baby Driver is one of our most anticipated movies of the year, every piece of promotional material just gets us more excited. Wright shared a brand-new TV spot today that features plenty of praise from critics along with some crazy new footage and Kevin Spacey, having the time of his life acting especially villainous.

Valued readers of ScreenCrush: I had the good fortune of catching an early screening of Edgar Wright’s new picture Baby Driver just last night, and while I have been sworn to semi-secrecy, I can safely and gladly echo the sentiments of my esteemed colleague Britt and affirm that holy biscuits is it good. It is a damn fine moving picture. I won’t say much more than that, and luckily, I don‘t have to because today brings the arrival of a new trailer for the high-octane crime thriller. Comin’ in hot, wheels skidding in a perfectly narrow drift, the trailer arrives with the hyperkinetic editing and blazing soundtrack cuts that make this movie such an unfettered joy.

Dozens of movies play at the SXSW Film Festival every year, making it impossible to see all of them in just eight days. Even if you attended the annual insanity in Austin last week, chances are pretty high that you missed at least a few good movies. And if you’re a cinephile who skipped the fest entirely (congrats on your sleep), you might be wondering which films are worth putting on your radar. Lucky for the sleepless and the well-rested alike, we’ve put together a handy list featuring some of the best films from SXSW 2017.

Right now, at this very moment, there are people in Austin, Texas who have seen Edgar Wright’s new film Baby Driver. And yes, I’ll admit it, I’m insanely jealous. It’s not just that Baby Driver is the first film by Wright since 2013’s The World’s End; it’s also not that Wright has assembled one of the more effortlessly cool heist film casts in Jon Bernthal, Jon Hamm, Lily James, and Kevin Spacey; it’s also that the first trailer for Baby Driver seems to show Wright pushing his own stylish sense of rhythmic editing to the max, going all in on his visuals in a way we still haven’t seen in one of his movies. You thought you liked Wright before? Try him with a couple of machine guns a few really fast cars.

If ever there were a reason to look forward to the future, it’s Edgar Wright’s new movie Baby Driver, a musically-driven action movie starring Ansel Elgort, Jamie Foxx, and Jon Hamm. Wright is perhaps more excited for it than the rest of us, and yesterday he shared a couple pages of the script on his Instagram.

SXSW really isn’t slouching with this year’s film festival programming (they rarely do), and today brings even more exciting additions to the lineup, including a pair of our most highly-anticipated films of 2017: Edgar Wright’s Baby Driver and Ben Wheatley’s Free Fire. The latest programming announcement also includes several intriguing indies, new films from Joe Swanberg and Evan Katz, and documentaries featuring beloved icons like Bill Nye and the Muppets.

Everything in the real world is just terrible, but it’s okay because Edgar Wright is finally coming out with a new movie after four years and it looks, well, fantastic. Baby Driver, starring Jamie Foxx, Ansel Elgort, Jon Hamm, Lily James, Jon Bernthal, and Kevin Spacey is currently in post-production, and here are a few new stills to tide us all over until it hits theaters.
