Edgar Wright Refutes Rumors and Confirms ‘Baby Driver 2’ Script
Filmmaker Edgar Wright, known for his meticulous approach to rhythm and tone, confirmed that a script for Baby Driver 2 exists while denying speculation about a supposed “Coen Brothers-style” project. In a recent interview on The Playlist’s Discourse Podcast, Wright discussed his upcoming work and provided insight into the unpredictable nature of Hollywood production.
“I didn’t hear about that,” Wright said when asked about reports that he and Simon Pegg were developing a Coen-inspired film. “Where did the Coen Brothers thing come from? I didn’t hear that.”
According to Wright, the rumor began from an offhand remark that spiraled into a full-blown story. He emphasized how easily development chatter can take on a life of its own.
Insights on Development Challenges
Wright also reflected on projects that never reached production, admitting that not every idea survives Hollywood’s long and complex development process.
“Night Stalker is long gone,” he admitted. “But what exactly is the status of everything? Lots of things are in development, and many things are at a script stage. The development process is a long one, and some things go and some things don’t. People don’t always understand that not all directors are completely in control of what order things get made in.”
Through his comments, Wright revealed both the persistence and patience required of filmmakers navigating the studio system.
