Edgar Wright is the ultimate pop culture omnivore. The British director is one of the most outspoken movie and music fans of his generation, taking every opportunity to hype up his favorite artists in interviews and reference them in his films. He seldom discriminates by genre, expressing equal admiration for highbrow art films and mainstream blockbusters.
That passion for all things entertaining is reflected in Wright’s eclectic filmography, which has seen him pivot from zombie comedies to video game-influenced breakup revenge sagas to car chase musicals without ever missing a beat. That isn’t to say that he doesn’t have a signature style, as his films all feature his famously playful camerawork and trademark sense of humor. But rather than limit himself to one genre — or even a few genres, for that matter — Wright is seemingly determined to apply his filmmaking sensibilities to any and every cinematic niche he finds remotely interesting.
