Edgar Wright has finished writing Baby Driver 2 and is waiting to film

January 30th, 2021 by Marc Comments

One of our favourite movies of 2017 was Baby Driver from writer/director Edgar Wright which was a imaginative, fast-paced and fun as we hoped from the man responsible for Scott Pilgrim and the Cornetto Trilogy.

And we’ve known for a while, in fact as soon as the first movie came out (here) that he planned on making a sequel when he got around to it and then, almost a year to the day (here), we learned that the first draft of his script was finished.

And now, in a new interview with Variety, Wright says: “It’s written.” Plain and simple.

He then goes on: “I’ve actually written three drafts of it.. It’s funny, you get fans on social media saying, ‘What’s happening to blah blah,’ and you know there’s a global pandemic, right?… Some things are beyond even me.”

According to the rumour mill, the movie will see a new female lead acting as a foil to original movie star Lily James’ Debora and will see Ansel Mount return as Baby with Jon Bernthal and CJ Jones coming back too.

The movie was originally set to go into production late last year but, well, we all know what happened.

In the meantime, we’re all sitting waiting for Wright’s new movie Last Night In Soho which has been pushed back again to October 22nd from its original April slot.

I’m a massive fan of Wright and we all here at FTN HQ loved Baby Driver, so we’re already revving our engines to get to opening night on this one.

What about you all?

Marc is a self-confessed nerd. Ever since seeing Star Wars for the first time around 1979 he’s been an unapologetic fan of the Wars and still believes, with Clone Wars and now Underworld, we are yet to see the best Star Wars. He’s a dad of two who now doesn’t have the time (or money) to collect the amount of toys, comics, movies and books he once did, much to the relief of his long-suffering wife. In the real world he’s a graphic designer. He started Following the Nerd because he was tired of searching a million sites every day for all the best news that he loves and decided to create one place where you can go to get the whole lot. Secretly he longs to be sitting in the cockpit of his YT-1300 Corellian Transport ship with his co-pilot Chewie, roaming the universe, waiting for his next big adventure, but feels just at home watching cartoons with his kids….
