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 a world where heroes are already engaged in their respective battles, the fastest man alive, Barry Allen, has everything he ever wanted. He is married to Iris West, has his life put together, and his dark history of losing his mother is merely a past. But with the coming of a new evil — one who is able to control time itself — Barry's life is broken once more. Step in the Reverse Flash, a sneering and enigmatic villain from Barry's future, with a personal vendetta against him. As Barry's quest to stop this new villain reaches critical mass, he discovers horrifying tidbits about his mother's murder and the twisted reasoning of his nemesis. With the help of fellow speedster Wally West and seasoned hero Jay Garrick, Barry must compete against time to prevent irreversible changes to history itself. But the more he learns, the more he realizes his greatest fight will not just be against someone who is faster than him, but with the evil in his own heart. As time unravels and reality gets twisted, Barry is compelled to confront his own darkest fears and the cost of vengeance. With his loved ones hanging in the balance, and the lines of good and evil growing more and more dangerously fuzzy, Barry is subjected to the ultimate test of what he is — not merely as a hero, but as a man.
