History Edgar Howard Wright born 18 April 1974 is an English film director and writer. Throughout the 1990’s, Wright directed many short films, first on a amateur camera which was a gift from a family member and later on led to more as people discovered his talent in making amateur movies.
Why am I writing about Edgar? After I saw Shaun of the dead and hot fuzz I instantly was impressed by the style he shot his movies and how he managed to really emphasis certain pieces of comedy. Edgar’s way of presenting comedy can be extremely subtle which is a rare quality in a director, this is shown in Shaun of the dead which have subtle references to George Romero's zombie films.
What made him so famous? He really became famous after Shaun of the dead hit instantly making people notice his skill . Most people would say the way he can bluntly put comedy out and just how subtle it can be also but is so versatile. His fast paced comedy style has also made him famous in movies and TV shows.
A list of his work Film’s Scott pilgrim vs the world Grindhouse Hot fuzz The man who would be Shaun Funky Pete Shaun of the dead Fun dead TV series Spaced Sir Bernard’s Stately Homes Murder Most Horrid French and Saunders Merry Go Round Is it Bill Bailey? Mash and Peas Asylum
What inspired Shaun of the dead Few people know that Edgar wright is a massive fan of George Romero's zombie films and his movie shaun of the dead is  filled with references to Romero’s zombie films. He also made a appearance in  George Romero's fourth zombie film Land of the dead
His movie making quotes 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. I think it's good to have pressure on yourself. The worst crime is to get kind of really complacent.
Trade mark style Repeated lines or snippets of dialogue for comedic effect He is well known for his Fast action style editing, usually of casual tasks, including whip pans and crash zooms Awkward humour in fast paced moments is well known by Edgar and is shown in many of his movies
Interviews and trailers Scott Pilgrim vs. the world his work behind it. http://www.imdb.com/video/screenplay/vi1273497113/ Shaun of the dead trailer http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CfBewQPFdKE This clearly shows Edgar's style very clearly Hot Fuzz trailer http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kzTLidmYM2Y
