Great Q&A

[@monstermash1961666]

speaking of noticing things, that was cool playing Downtown at the end. I love Edgar. I've been watching Soho even more than I did Pilgrim. What diversity.

[@herreguda6199]

Love that he used both the twins and that it wasn't an actual mirror. Incredible!

[@RamiroBelmaresJr]

I want an Hour long version of this interview!! Edgar is such a master at what he does, he will be remembered in film history as one of the all time greats. Can't wait to see what he does in the next 20 years 👌🏼

[@lydiabourne8341]

There's a half hour long version of this on BBC Iplayer!

[@benw4409]

Excellent original questions! You can tell Edgar is engaged!

[@dicarpio2177]

Brilliant film maker and a brilliant interviewer. What a joy this is to watch.

[@Denis-89]

And this is why we love Ali Plumb: asking original questions and not the same press junket questions like others:☺

[@ashish_sunny]

Keep this in mind, if you wanna meet Edgar in person don't miss out on 2001 screenings.. Your chances are multiplied that way

[@prathapkutty7407]

Its so cool that Edgar got the Phelps twins to cameo in this movie.

[@TorchwoodPandP]

“You become more universal, the more specific you get.” - That’s how to make great movies!

[@CinemaKnight]

It's so funny and kinda wholesome to imagine Thomasin and Anya being so starstruck by the Phelps twins, but it makes sense lol. Both are women around my age (early to mid 20s), of course, of COURSE they grew up on Harry Potter lol.

[@sanaehagino4060]

Im also pretty sure Anya learned english by watching harry potter

[@weasley2o13]

I'm 29. I grew up WITH the movies and books. I got the best of all worlds.

[@Tilly1770]

If you’re in your 30’s you grew up with the books first and it’s a whole new level of fandom 😍👌

[@弘睿甫]

starstruck is also one of the soundtracks name

[@yado7550]

@@Tilly1770 let's be real the Harry Potter books are very overrated

[@harrisont2004]

Really appreciate how Edgar asks the interviewer about the films too. It’s a nice humble and conversational thing to do.

[@johnnysopals]

I love the weasley twins add. Perfection. Man Edgar Wright is a pure man of film. You can’t meet someone more in love with film. Paying so much homage to the generations before. I hope that many directors to come do the same and copy off him. Legend

[@javierasalgadoreyes]

At that point they are the Phelps twins though,they finished on 2011 the movies

[@RJTheCerealGuy]

You are genuinely one of my favorite interviews with one of my favorite directors, you get the questions that I’ve always wanted to ask them but never got a chance to so thank you! I managed to watch the first showing of soho one of my favorites of all time which is saying something but ironically I missed his q&a on Reddit because I was watching the film haha, Good day

[@zyper4]

I love the dynamic between the interviewer and edgar Wright I imagine that when you've been on a press tour the general questions can be killer so it must be nice to find someone who tries with the questions

[@misssweetnothings5094]

I'm always surprised bugsy Malone wasn't a fever dream I had as a teenager at 2 am.

[@nonny6990]

Great questions from Ali. Made this a much more interesting interview. Most other interviews are quite mundane.

[@joshh.5753]

Holy shit he Terminator 2'd that shit with the twins there. I literally didn't notice them at all. I was too focused in the theatre on Elloise and Sandy. That's badass. I love Edgar Wright movies.

[@randallcastaneda2578]

Without a doubt my favourite director of all time. I love to hear his insights to each and every film (his Blu Ray's are worth every buy, btw..) he's done and cannot wait to see Last Night At Soho. (Scott Pilgrim Vs the World is my favourite film of all time, btw..) Much respect, good sir. We'll see you at the cinema.

[@marcoscordilla8027]

what an amazing filmography Edgar has. just watched LNIS last night and it was quite an experience!

[@benvincent6473]

Ali Plumb seriously is the best in the game right now. Always has fantastic chemistry and charisma in his interviews.

[@Cardinalmos]

How to spot a great interviewer: you get just as excited to see Ali Plumb as you are to see any of his guests

[@adim3190]

Only interviewer who interviews properly. Thank you for your work 😊

[@AlexMc13x]

Baby driver was so sick, especially when hocus pocus is playing to the tune of the assault rifle bullets firing at the cops

[@TibbyProductions]

All of Edgar's movies are honestly bloody brilliant

[@gigabit409]

Ali by far the best interviewer working today other than Simon Mayo

[@GoddessOfWhim2003]

i love Edgar Wright, i've seen all his major movies. his writing is just as sharp as his directing

[@assembled1855]

I wish that Wright should direct Beverly Hills Cop 4 since someone I talked to don't like the current directors who're doing it. I would love to see him work with Eddie Murphy.

[@DelightLovesMovies]

Ali is so good at this. I loved his first question.

[@apathyinc.7534]

Great interview. I actually watched the entire thing.

[@manythingslefttobuild]

Awesome chat with Edgar Wright!

[@itsmephil2255]

Edgar Wright is a total genius and deserved more recognition in hollywood When you go back to spaced and the cornetto trilogy you can see how amazing he is as a director

[@gabyc210]

I’ve easily seen Scott Pilgrim 100 times. It’s probably the movie I’ve seen most, and that’s that it came out in 2010. I’m a huge movie rewatcher and have seen hundreds of movies more than 50 times. Lol

[@ohyeahitsthatoneguy]

Edgar right is definitely my favorite director rn every movie of his is an event

[@asmapatel234]

It boggles mind how much this guy is amazing at his job!!!🤩 indeed best interviewer ever.

[@shikhar.awasthi]

I would love to see Edgar direct a James Bond movie! And then Ali interview the new Bond when the movie comes out.

[@ttimetotroll]

This interviewer is the best thing out of BBC

[@sodaverde]

Edgar Wright made me want to write movies.

[@goodial]

I love that Edgar Wright loves Bugsy Malone! Such an awesome movie!

[@VivaLaDnDLogs]

Makes me wish the twins had a bigger role, because having identical actors in a film like this allows you to accomplish so much you couldn't do otherwise!

[@jjstewart4341]

10:56 THIS is the reason Edgar’s movies are so incredibly good, and the same reason so many movies these days feel almost offensively babying in their tone

[@LadyFancyful]

Great interview

[@torloni13]

Anyone calling for an Edgar Wright 2001 meet Airplane! action/space/comedy movie?!?!?! With Simon Pegg and Nick Frost....

[@Roneish1996]

I still need to see 2001 a space odyssey. I guess I’ll wait until a theatre replays it somewhere nearby.

[@walangchahangyelingden8252]

Big fan of the director & pretty much all the actors, mate. Looking forward to it.

[@cyberyoyo7674]

Talking of background detail, are the cans of Irn Bru in the background of "Last Night In Soho" a nod to his Glaswegian co-writer. I feel certain they didn't get there by accident...

[@reptongeek]

Knowing Edgar Wright, if probably isn't an accident

[@Phornax7]

My most watched film is Ghostbusters. I've been told I wore out the tape as a kid.

[@madtitan0825]

This movie is just brilliant, horror thriller with Edgar Wright’s style is just a perfect match that’s long overdue👌bravo👏

[@eyam04]

He is hands down one of the greatest film makers of our times and i am secretly glad not a lot of people think so😅🙈

[@nigelmonteiro1260]

Why are you glad about that?

[@scarlettbat]

i could have watched hours of this haha, best questions from ali as always

[@TibbyProductions]

This is Spinal Tap is a masterpiece

[@RoxasXIII]

I noticed that “Every Frames A Painting” reference lol

[@tinavarghese3731]

Underrated fella. Time to rewatch Scott Pilgrim

[@TorQueMoD]

Edgar Wright is my hollywood doppleganger, but I've never seen him in an interview. So glad he doesn't sound like me :P

[@derekseven1647]

Edgar Wright has to direct a movie about Jack The Ripper.

[@ScottyColoradoKid]

I like how Edgar is asking Ali to explain things to him! (mickey mousing) Well I have given up hope that there will be a sequel to Baby Driver...

[@MickeyValenz]

Edgar's Funeral: Live and Let Pie

[@canonkingsley6569]

I absolutely knew where the twins scenes were but i was fucking surprised that It was James and Oliver. I'm ashamed to be a Potter fan.

[@Ben_Ramirez19]

The World's End is one crazy film. Its the kind of story that you would come up with when your drunk, but it's so hilarious and engaging at the same time

[@notreallydavid]

All those people who didn't go to see Last Night in Soho were wrong. I hope the flick becomes culty and does really well in its post-theatrical life.

[@mr.hanfblatt9152]

Ok, that "mirror" scene in Last night in soho is on a different level, holy crap!

[@javierasalgadoreyes]

Getting identical twins for it made it 100% Better even if they didn’t actually use a mirror

[@apathtrampledbydeer8446]

I thought I was the only one who liked Raising Arizona, such a surreal and wierd movie.

[@zachw28]

there's a reason why Edgar Wright is my favorite director

[@filiperodrigues1322]

Saw yesterday #LastNightInSoho (Spoiler Free) Was so intense build up was slow but ladies and gentleman when it gets going you won't look back, wish we had more horror @edgarwright but all the elements plus details falls into place all the cast even the late Diana Rigg performed so good but wow that unpredictable twist. 8/10

[@justbeyondthecornerproduct3540]

I didn't look to carefully and thought this was a Jeremy Jahns review, by the thumbnail

[@kemikaoffstage9617]

For me this movie 🎥 is the best of this years 🙂 a lot of favourite song i love last night in soho so much

[@RedMoonSolitary]

I thought this film was neat. * Also someone give give the Phelps boys longer / leading roles someday, please, thanks *

[@cindyayt]

Shaun of the Dead has to be one my favourite comedy horror films

[@sodaverde]

I need to know I NEED TO KNOW Ali will run for Prime Minister. I'd move to England.

[@_missmarissa_]

edgar is a genius at his craft wow!!

[@reptongeek]

I've got Edgar beat. I've seen one of my favourite films 55 times, which includes my challenge of watching it every week for a year

[@ghinanaeem5723]

Which movie?

[@reptongeek]

@@ghinanaeem5723 Monte Carlo, the Selena Gomez film

i don’t know if this sounds wrong but edgar wright is my favorite british person

[@Vesperitis]

Oh my god they REFERENCE TVTROPES AND THEY DID IT WITH EDGAR WRIGHT.

[@fruktumkalasbajen9647]

Good interviewer

[@joeclark6413]

I think Edgar Wright is the only director I go 'oh it's an Edgar Wright movie' an not just say 'oh this movie blank is really good'

[@prathapkutty7407]

Didn't Edgar Wright direct a music video inspired by Bugsy Malone?

[@Elwaves2925]

Yes. The Bluetones with After Hours. It should be on YT if you want to check it out. At least it was a few years ago. :-)

[@prathapkutty7407]

[@horseradish4046]

Really surprised Edgar is not familiar with the term "Mickey Mousing"

[@mrwoo1]

Never talk down to the audience. Thats why hes my favourite. So many films and TV is very american and dumbed down to the point of having no depth or interest whatsoever. It's meaningless.

[@karatesoccerbaseball]

Alex Hirsch interviewing Edgar Wright about hidden details, nice #69

[@scottwilliamtoombs]

Creepy Carrie, is what would strike me the likeness (in-part).👍 with Bugsy Malone likness (in-part).👍=💜. "No, the little one already called you out. Fix the dress? or I will flag them all.🤨"😎

Funny to mention Jesus and his twin brother because in the apocrypha Thomas is Jesus's identical twin.
