Edgar Howard Wright (born 18 April 1974) is an English filmmaker. He is known for his fast-paced and kinetic, satirical genre films, which feature extensive utilisation of expressive popular music, Steadicam tracking shots, dolly zooms and a signature editing style that includes transitions, whip pans and wipes. He first made independent short films before making his first feature film, A Fistful of Fingers, in 1995. Wright created and directed the comedy series Asylum in 1996, written with David Walliams. After directing several other television shows, Wright directed the sitcom Spaced (1999–2001), which aired for two series and starred frequent collaborators Simon Pegg and Nick Frost. In 2004, Wright directed the zombie comedy Shaun of the Dead, starring Pegg and Frost, the first film in Wright's Three Flavours Cornetto trilogy. The film was co-written with Pegg—as were the next two entries in the trilogy, the buddy cop film Hot Fuzz (2007) and the science fiction comedy The World's End (2013). In 2010, Wright co-wrote and directed the action comedy film Scott Pilgrim vs. the World, an adaptation of the graphic novel series. Along with Joe Cornish and Steven Moffat, he adapted The Adventures of Tintin (2011) for Steven Spielberg. Wright and Cornish co-wrote the screenplay for the Marvel Cinematic Universe film Ant-Man in 2015, which Wright intended to direct but abandoned, citing creative differences. He has also written and directed the action film Baby Driver (2017), the documentary The Sparks Brothers, and the psychological horror film Last Night in Soho (both 2021).
In "The Flash", we witness the thrilling origin story of Barry Allen. The story begins with Barry Allen as a brilliant forensic scientist working for the Central City Police Department. After a lightning bolt strikes his lab, Barry is doused in a combination of chemicals and subjected to a powerful electrical surge. Miraculously surviving the incident, he discovers that he has gained the incredible ability to move at incredible speeds. Embracing his newfound powers, Barry becomes The Flash, using his extraordinary speed to protect the innocent and fight against the rising tide of crime in Central City. As he unravels the mystery behind his transformation, he faces off against the formidable "Turtle-Man", who harbors the Still Force and serves as the anti-thesis to The Flash, as well as facing off against iconic members of his Rouge's Gallery. This is to be part of James Gunn's new DC Cinematic Universe.
