Edgar is imo one of the most underrated directors/writers around. His movies are cult classics while being some of the most beloved in modern British cinema. It’s cool to see him continually get bigger budgets, but stick to similar techniques that made spaced and SotD so bloody good
I don't think he's as underrated as he used to be after Baby Driver's commercial success. A lot of people have gotten really interested in his stuff since then.
@@thegrayyernaut yeah, I had my eye on Shawn of the dead, but i would have probably forgotten about the movie and ended up not watching it.
If it wasnt cuz i just felt like OK LETS WATCH THIS BABY DRIVER THINGY i wouldnt even have discovered him at all
If he's being studied in film school then he's deff rated
ANT-MAN is a fairly decent movie (although very standard and formulaic)
But if Edgar Wright had done it, it would've been groundbreaking
Marvel dont want to do groundbreaking movies, they want to do the same movie again and again only changing some characters
@@NUCLEARDASH they let Guardians of the Galaxy be groundbreaking
And they adopted its style in later movies
@@NUCLEARDASH Yeah as Leonardo said above, if they gave Edgar the same freedom they gave James Gunn with Guardians I feel Ant-man would've been a MUCH more entertaining movie and even more memorable character overall.
and by freedom I mean by not falling out with Kevin Feige or whatever and actually being able to do what he wants with the direction of the film.
While I agree that Ant-Man is a fairly standard movie, there are standout moments that were clearly either Wright's ideas, or definitely inspired by Wright's work.
A good example of it imo is Luis' montages - the quick cuts, the zooms, and the overall comedic theme feels very much like a scene from one of Edgar Wright's movies.
Do Damien Chazelle.
1. Guy and Madeline on a park bench.
2. Whiplash.
3. La La Land.
Yesss!! Also could use the Whiplash short as an example of low-budget.
@@NikitaShurhoveckis Yes, that's a great idea.
that would be great
YESS
also first man, that movie has one of the best visuals on cinematic history
Speaking of Clint Eastwood, you should do a budget breakdown on 3 of his films:
Play Misty for Me (1971)- $950,000
Unforgiven (1992)- $14 million
Sully (2016)- $60 million
All these years later and I'd wager anyone that not a single one of those fans regretted getting all zombiefied, considering that on a whim they will forever be part of a fucking classic.
Edgar Wright is one of the most consistent filmmakers ever when it comes to his perfected style matching his incredibly-written substance no matter the budget.
Well, it's easy to be consistent if you have just five feature movies under your belt (not counting a Fistful of Fingers). I'm really looking forward to his next 20 movies.
@@karlkarlos3545 You're right.
I mean, generally yeah, Edgar Wright has consistently made some of the best films ever, but a Fistful of Fingers is actually one of the worst films ever made
Another great video, Gray! Really want to see a PTA 3 levels.
Thanks Marcelo. Will do!
@@InDepthCine oh boy, my favourite director and my favourite cinema channel
you bloody beaut mate
How does no one see this comment🤨😂
OFFICIAL IDC MERCH: www.indepthcine.store/
Here are the budgets adjusted for inflation:
A Fistful Of Fingers $27,000
Shaun Of The Dead $8.5 Million
Baby Driver $37 Million
Ridley Scott
@@monkii5258 He should do a in-depth analysis on just Alien alone. Masterclass on cinematography with creative shooting, lighting...I mean it still looks amazing today.
I'd like to see pta
@@monkii5258 honestly thought he'd already done him but apparently not yet! Would definitely be worth looking at though. Alien, Blade Runner and Gladiator as the three budget levels, perhaps?
correction: Spaced was not a BBC show, it was a channel 4 tv show
It's so interesting to go through Wright's filmography and pick up on all those stylistic flairs that have been there since the beginning. It'll be really interesting to see how his style translates to the more serious horror genre, considering how his previous films have been comedic in nature, or even how he'll create a distinctly Wright-styled documentary.
I'd love to see you tackle Peter Jackson's progression from the small self-funded Bad Taste, to the immense multi-film production of the Lord of the Rings trilogy.
He just made a Wright styled documentary on The Sparks Brothers!
Nick, Wright just released a psychological horror! It's "Last Night in Soho" and it's wonderful.
Love to see how Paul Thomas Anderson, David Fincher or Damien Chazelle shoot a film at 3 different budget levels.
Christopher Nolan’s first film shot for £3000 The Following is easily more entertaining than the big budget Batman trilogy
Damien Chazelle needs to shoot more than 3 films tho
@@movieunycorn9105 Lolol
actually I'm here after finishing Baby driver, and yeah, that was some really good movie - the editing is fresh, and the cast really nails it. Foxx was *infuriating* oh man, so good :D
Please do Denis Villeneuve at three budget levels! So much to dive into there.
Finally ! I've been waiting quite awhile for a video on Edgar Wright :)
Really enjoy these videos, thank you! Just a detail, Spaced wasn't BBC (it was commissioned by Channel 4 in the UK).
"Scott Pilgrim vs the World" had a bigger budget than "Baby Driver"
And it came first
True, but I think he chose Baby Driver because of the music video he did that was kinda like a proof of concept
Wright was hired to direct/ adapt Scott Pilgrim, whereas these Films and their ideas were all directly from him. That's probably why it wasn't included
it wasnt 'his' film. He was hired to adapt the comics. The other 3 are his films (and simon pegg for sean)
me and my friends are making a civil war movie and your vids are really helping me with a bunch of aspects of writing and shoots
Great work on this!
AMAZING video! Love hearing anything about Edgar Wright :)
Great series.... Keep it up!!
That was great!!!!!! Please do TaiKA Waititi next!!!!!!!
Great Video. Edgar Wright is one of my favorite film filmmakers and I can’t wait for his next film.
Another terrific video, Gray.
Thanks Tom.
ive waiting this for so long
You can see Edgar Wright improve his craft with every passing film, and as much as The World's End is my favourite film of all time I eagerly await Last Night in Soho to perhaps surpass it as Wright's masterpiece.
Don’t forget his documentary The Sparks Brothers- it’s exhilarating
Baby Driver is my personal favorite of Wright's work. Still can't wait to see Last Night in Soho
You liked The World's End? Personally I thought it was a shit stain to end an amazing trio of films :/
@@jacket2848 it was fun wdym
Loved the video
Amazing channel
Thanks for the video, I am definitely curious to watch "Baby Driver" now :)
Yes, Baby Driver is a good movie. Great performances from all the main cast.
I’ve waited for this
Liked before the video started
I love Edgar Wright , he is an auteur ❤️ . You should do one on Wong Kar Wai . 🙌
Amazing video as always! Would love to see Damien Chazelle next!
Shaun of the dead is honestly one of the greatest zombie movies ever made
this is a great channel :)
my absolute favorite director
12:06 Okay I've never seen Fistful of Fingers, but this genuinely made me laugh
I would love it if you did an episode on Gaspar Noe or Lars Von Trier. Although, as far as I know, neither of them has ever really worked with an absolutely insane budget like a lot of the filmmakers you cover
What a treat.
Edgar Wright deserves all the budget
FINALLY!!!!
YES finally
Please do Robert Rodriguez next with his Mexico Trilogy.
El Mariachi
Desperado
Once upon a time in Mexico.
Great video. Now we want Kubrick.
"Where they almost killed a camera operator"... you can't just drop that in and not explain, man...
I think the "23 takes" speaks for itself fairly well
He was maneuvering heavy gear for 23 long takes. Probably woke up a bit sore the next morning.
6:31 absolute banger
Great video.
Shaun of the dead is still amazing and for £6 million- wow. Edgar rocks.
Alfonso Cuarón or Guillermo Del Toro would be great for this series of yours 🙌
2:11 shootout Somerset miss that place
Could you consider doing Sean Baker? Price of Broadway, Tangerine, The Florida Project maybe
is there gonna be a kubrick one
dope
Can't believe Edgar Wright made Baby Driver on 34 million! Insane!
Do you mean too high or too low?
@@michaelgriffin3537 too low
Next up, please do one on David fincher
Do james cameron, the way he got to make terminator is something worth talking
Can you make same video about Ridley Scott? Thank for your videos
Tony scott would be great too! Rip one of my favorite directors, man on fire is insanely directed
We are getting close fellas. I feel the next video is gonna be;
How *Sam Rami* Shoots A Film At 3 Budget Levels
1.) Evil Dead
2.) Evil Dead 2 - Dead by Dawn
3.) Army of Darkness
Now do Ryan Coogler (Fruitvale Station, Creed, and Black Panther)
Baby driver is a good example for Great start and Worst End
Awesome video! Can you try to make a video about Russian or Soviet director? I guess it would be interesting for some of your subscribers. Thank you!
Is this a reupload?
I'm convinced Baby Driver is Edgar's rejected idea for a Han Solo movie
He is nothing short of a child genius.
Where can I watch A Fistful of Fingers? It’s never appeared on home media
czcams.com/video/gGQhIBA9lI4/video.html&ab_channel=SpaceMeatball
The cornetto trilogy was the dream child of Simon pegg and Edgar Wright
2:30 I love pizza, but I hate to think what the crew's bowels were like during shooting if they were eating it every day.
Do a similar video on my fav director Denis Villeneuve.
Space was on channel 4 not the BBC
I appreciate trying to show how money can influence the quality of a product but its more down to the technology that's avaliable nowadays.
If you take suggestions from comments Then at leas I and probably a handful of other would be interested in
Guy Ritchie, someone who I feel his and Edgar Wrights artistic works complement each other.
$1.35M Lock, Stock and Two Smoking Barrels
$10M Snatch
$22M The Gentlemen
Arrow’s proposed Blu-ray of Edgar’s early stuff seems to have disappeared
Yes, u should make a video of Sam Raimi
Do Bong Joon-ho
1. Memories of Murder
2. Snowpiercer
3. Okja
How Paul Thomas Anderson shoots a film at 3 budget levels
Do a review on Victoria. It’s a German movie that is all done in one long 2 hour take. No cuts, not special effects, just one shot. See what camera they used, how they planned everything out and what card they used that could last 2 hours!
What about Scott pilgrim vs the world which had a budget of 70million
Baby Driver, the best 👌👏👍
Can you please do Peter Jackson?
I wish he'd done Baby Driver as a British set movie instead of American
Scott pillgrim vs the world
Spaced was never a BBC show, it was on Channel 4
Spaced was Chanel 4 not BBC
I learned today, that Edgar Wright makes very "kainematic" movies.
How Sam Raimi Shoots A Film At 3 Budget Levels
Evil Dead $350,000
Evil Dead II $3.5 Million
Spider-Man 2 $200 Million
Love your videos but Spaced is channel 4 don’t give the BBC credit for that 😂
Cut down on the commercials
POP FUZZ is his best movie
I really hope that Edgar watches this video, there is a real chance
Interesting to learn that he didn't write a second draft for his first movie
I mean if you see it, that makes a lot of sense, I love Edgar Wright, but Fistful of Finger is one of the worst films I've ever seen.
This is cool, but it doesn’t account for an increase in skill over time
why not?
@@NUCLEARDASH efficiency my man, a director learns what kind of lighting is right for what shot, so he doesn’t need to try it again next time. It would be an ideal world where directors only learned their lessons in film school, but when working with larger budgets the situation fundamentally changes. The lighting example could extend just as easily to post production, or even something as small as which prop people are worth working with and which aren’t. Some directors become better and more efficient as they go on, a director as great as Edgar Wright is certainly in this class.
there’s only one movie i’ve seen with better directing: Who Killed Captain Alex
Loooooved Scott Pilgrim. Baby Driver was a chore to watch.
Edgar gon make a movie with 10$ and still make it decent
Not a fan of baby driver, but Shaun of the Dead was great
great video and all but how do you go so far in life without knowing how to pronounce kinetic lol
Fun Fact: Edgar Wright went to my secondary school :)
Loved Shaun of the Dead, especially the bit where THIS COMMENT IS SPONSERED BY SQUARESPACE.
so we learned: as a studio, never give Edgar Wright more than 10 Mio ^^
Baby Driver was amazing! Give him more than 6m, but 100m would be too much, you want him to retain full autonomy.
Personally, I hated Baby Driver, but I think Last Night in Soho looks amazing and could be Wright's masterpiece.
too bad he couldn't direct all of Ant-Man
I'm guessing you've never heard anyone say kinetic irl? Fyi it's pronounced kuh·neh·tuhk
Ki-Neh-Tik
Nah dude
cringe
Why do you talk like this
