Edgar Howard Wright Wiki Biography
Edgar Howard Wright, born on the 18th of April, 1974, is an English director, screenwriter, and occasional actor who became well-known through his movies “Shaun of the Dead”, “Hot Fuzz”, and “The World’s End”, known to his fans as the Three Flavours Cornetto film trilogy. He is also the director of the 2017 flick “Baby Driver”.

Edgar Wright Net Worth $10 Million
Born in Poole, Dorset, Wright became involved in films at a very early age. During his growing up years in Wells, Somerset, he started making short films using a Super-8 camera. Later on, he was able to get his hands on a Video-8 camera and continued making films, and even won in the television show “Going Live”. With his love for film, he attended Bournemouth and Poole College of Art, and graduated with a degree in Audio-Visual Design.
Wright’s career started in the early ‘90s, when his film “A Fistful of Fingers” which comedians Matt Lucas and David Walliams noticed, and the two hired him to be the director of their show “Mash and Peas”. The project later on led to more opportunities in the BBC network, in which he also directed programs including “Alexei Sayle’s Merry-Go-Round”, “Is It Bill Bailey”, and “Sir Bernard’s Stately Homes”. His early years working in television helped establish his career, and also his net worth.
In 1998, Wright came across Simon Pegg whom he had worked with in a previous project. Pegg and fellow actor Jessica Stevenson were writing a sitcom called “Spaced” and asked him to direct it once finished. The three worked together, and in 1999 “Spaced” aired on Channel 4. Despite running for only two seasons, the show earned positive reviews and was even nominated for a BAFTA Award.
After Wright’s partnership with Pegg became a success, the two worked once again on the movie “Shaun of the Dead”; the zombie comedy film became a huge hit in Britain and even in the United States. With the success of their first movie, the two decided to create a trilogy, but instead of a continuing story, they decided to input similar traits and scenes across the movies.
Wright and Pegg’s plans came to fruition, and in 2007 the second instalment was released entitled “Hot Fuzz”, with Pegg playing a police officer, who after being transferred to a new city, started witnessing horrific events. Then in 2013, the final instalment to their trilogy came out entitled “The World’s End”, in which a group of friends decided to come together and recreate a pub crawl they did some two decades ago.
The three films by Wright and Pegg became known as “The Three Flavours Cornetto Trilogy”. Despite not having a continuing story, the three films share similarities like a garden fence scene and a scene with a Cornetto, a popular ice cream brand in UK. The success of the trilogy catapulted Wright to fame and increased his wealth tremendously.
Aside from the trilogy, Wright also became known for his film “Scott Pilgrim vs. the World” which he wrote and directed, based on the graphic novel “Scot Pilgrim”. Despite underperforming in the box office, the movie gained exceptional reviews from critics. He also helped in writing the movie “The Adventures of Tintin: Secret of the Unicorn” by director Steven Spielberg.
Today, Wright is still active in directing with his most recent film “Baby Driver” starring Jamie Foxx, Jon Hamm, Kevin Spacey, and Ansel Elgort.
In his personal life, there aren’t even rumours of any current romantic associations, but Edgar is known to have dated American actress Anna Kendrick from 2009 to 2013.

| Quote | |
|---|---|
| 1 | You either liked Spinal Tap or you were not worth talking to |
| 2 | As dated as Octopussy (1983) is, I’d love to see a version of Quantum of Solace (2008) with Barbara Woodhouse ‘Sit!’ jokes and Tarzan yodelling sound effects. |
| 3 | Here’s a funny thing. My mum’s a big conspiracy theorist and when I was younger, in that way when you automatically take the opposite view to your parents because you’re a sullen and idiotic teenager, when my mother would come out with wild conspiracies about our hometown, I would just, like, formally reject it. She had so many stories of, like, conspiracy – and some of them very real in terms of corruption and gangsters, and some of them a lot more fanciful, like the idea that there might be unicorns and aliens in Glastonbury Tor. But when I was writing Hot Fuzz (2007), I said to my mother, “I want you to write down all the stories that you heard about our town and give it to me.” [The result] A fifty page document called “Spooky Doings”. I think she was so happy that I’d embraced the conspiracy theorist in her. |
| 4 | I’ve always been fascinated by horror films and genre films. And horror films harbored a fascination for me and always have been something I’ve wanted to watch and wanted to make. Equally, I’m very fascinated by comedy. I suppose the reason that [An American Werewolf in London (1981)] changed my life is that very early on in my film-watching experiences, I saw a film that was so sophisticated in its tone and what it managed to achieve. |
| 5 | In terms of, like, the homaging and spoofing and stuff, I mean, obviously… it’s weird ’cause, like, I mean, there are homages and there are kind of, like, skits on things, but I think the sensory joke with Spaced (1999) and the reason that I think it kinda has a charm to it… It’s kinda the point of it is not so much that, “Hey, let’s do, like, a five minute rip on The Matrix (1999).” — It’s the fact that the characters are so, kind of, like… their lives are so governed by pop culture and media and stuff that they can only think in those terms. So if somebody’s having a… breakup with their girlfriend, they imagine it to have the same crushing kind of… feeling as the ending of Star Wars: Episode V – The Empire Strikes Back (1980). |
| 6 | Everything that I’ve done so far has had a bigger budget than the last, but I’ve never ever felt the benefit of the bigger budget because the ideas always exceed the budget. |
| 7 | I think it’s good to have pressure on yourself. The worst crime is to get kind of really complacent. Me and Simon worked really hard on the script and we kind of beat ourselves up and we’re very kind of hypercritical, and so it’s good to have pressure. I mean it was weird in terms of when we made Shaun of the Dead (2004). There wasn’t really that much expectation about us making a film. There was from people who liked our TV show, but you know we could kind of do it under the radar and this time it was a bit different. Even just filming it on location was kind of interesting because you’d have people watching the entire time. |
| 8 | There were zombie films prior to George [George A. Romero], but he pretty much invented the cannibalistic aspect. What we now think of as zombies really are Romero zombies. |
| 9 | [on Spaced (1999)] It’s a show by geeks, for geeks. |
| Fact | |
|---|---|
| 1 | Was considered to direct Mission: Impossible – Ghost Protocol (2011). |
| 2 | Was considered to direct Star Trek Beyond (2016). |
| 3 | Dropped out of the director’s position for Ant-Man (2015), after developing the film for over 10 years, due to creative differences between himself and Marvel Studios. He is still credited as screenwriter and story writer. |
| 4 | Russell T. Davies offered Wright the job to direct the Doctor Who (2005) episode Doctor Who: Rose (2005) but he had to turn it down as he was already busy directing Shaun of the Dead (2004). |
| 5 | Has said that he directed one single shot of Star Trek Into Darkness (2013) during the scene featuring the Klingons on Kronos while being uncredited for that shot. |
| 6 | Despite the fact that they contain numerous fantasy elements, his films are heavily autobiographical. For example, a number of the characters, events, and dramatic situations in The World’s End (2013) are directly based on people he knew and his own personal experiences. |
| 7 | He is known for asking for many takes during filming, and has been referred to by frequent collaborator Simon Pegg as a “perfectionist” (in a complimentary way). |
| 8 | According to the June 2007 issue of Empire magazine, the films that most influenced Wright were Raising Arizona (1987), Run Lola Run (1998), Dirty Harry (1971), Raiders of the Lost Ark (1981), Hard Boiled (1992), The Evil Dead (1981) and The Good, the Bad and the Ugly (1966). |
| 9 | His favorite film is the criminal comedy film Raising Arizona (1987). |
| 10 | On most of his films, there are certain special features; such as a trivia track that runs with the movie, a scene of the movie with the characters voices dubbed, and a hand drawn easter egg of some sort. |
| 11 | Asked Simon Pegg to turn down a role in Dog Soldiers (2002), as Wright wanted Pegg’s first role in a horror film to be in Shaun of the Dead (2004). |
| 12 | Is a huge fan of George A. Romero’s zombie films, and his film Shaun of the Dead (2004) is filled with references to them. He also made a cameo appearance (along with star and co-writer of Shaun of the Dead (2004) Simon Pegg) in George A. Romero’s fourth zombie picture, Land of the Dead (2005). |
| 13 | Is a huge fan of action films. |
| 14 | Brother Oscar Wright is an artist. |
