So this is a goddamn trailer
And so is this. It's a goddamned international trailer.

(why are the international trailers always better than the domestic ones, huh? Damn.)

Looks like there's going to be some comedy in here, of course, but it's definitely got more of a straight up action vibe than anything he's done since Hot Fuzz.

People seem pretty pissed off at Ansel Elgort a lot of the time. Ansel doesn't seem to give that much of a shit. So there's gonna be comparisons to "Drive" there, probably. They're probably gonna be superficial as hell, though. Because I doubt Wright made anything even remotely like what Refn made. Speaking of which:

SXSW IMPRESSIONS

Jacob Hall, Slashfilm:
BABY DRIVER: Let's call this HEAT remade as a jukebox musical. Very different from Wright's previous movies and a total blast.

Hey SXSWers!
You are going to love Baby Driver.
It's both super fun and a real work of art.

You guys know that satisfaction when actions are beautifully synced with the music/sound? Okay Baby Driver is that a million fucking times

BABY DRIVER is everything I never knew I needed. #SXSW audience losing their minds for it and it earns every bit of the love

Eric Vespe, Aint it Cool
Baby Driver is fuckin' awesome. Edgar Wright made his own version of a movie musical except the choreography is car stunts and violence.

Jacob Knight, Birth.Movies.Death
BABY DRIVER: Pop chaos. Forty years of action cinema grammar, all set to a beat. The fact that this even exists is a goddamn miracle.

Eric Kohn, Indiewire
If you thought LA LA LAND rejuvenated the movie musical, wait until BABY DRIVER, which is like Busby Berkeley's GRAND THEFT AUTO

Of the two trailers released tonight

this is definitely the superior of the two.

edit: YouTube (but not official. So probably just comicbook ripping the twitter video and re-upping)

Wasn't great but not bad and you can definitely see the Edgar Wrightness dripping out off it, so just cus of that, I'n totally in.

I do wish the music was more integral to the trailer since I've read that music plays a huge part in this movie.

Is this the movie he bounced out of Ant Man for?

I think he left Ant Man just because they wouldn't let him do exactly what he wanted to do.

Ant Man got pushed as late as it did (like, 6 years late, or something?) because he wanted to make The World's End first. At least I think that's the story.

Looks dope. Was hoping we'd see a bit more of the "musical" chase scenes in the trailer, but I guess that'd be hard unless it was one of those trailers that was just an extended scene.

That geeks of color impression got me too hyped. I always geek out over moments like that in trailers. To have a whole film edited to time like that during its action scenes?...whew

Da gawd is gonna be 5/5 now

Interesting characters, sound jokes. Looks pretty good. Kevin Spacey is usually a pretty fun villain, and Jon Bernthal has been hitting 'em far lately.

All these "action musical" posts have me beyond excited. The inventiveness and brilliance of an Edgar Wright movie all put into a more "typical" action movie. In a way, it feels like it could be the successor Speed Racer-GAF has been waiting for.

Half the reason I want to see this movie is to find out if Baby Driver has any other meaning except he's a driver and his name is Baby.

In Edgar Wright I trust. Can't wait for this - especially since I love music done right in action scenes and if anybody can pull off this concept it's Edgar Wright.

Baby Driver is exactly what you'd imagine an Edgar Wright Fast & Furious to be. A pure blast

And if you're a fan of Edgar Wright's long takes and music choices, Baby Driver will basically be your crack. Like a musical chase film

Don't do this to me, Wright. My heart is too weak.

Probably just putting it where they think it'll do best. Wouldn't stand a chance in summer during blockbuster season. But something like this could do well in Feb/March or Aug/Sep.

It was originally scheduled for this weekend, but it got pushed back to August. I figure that the busy schedule this spring would have made it really hard for this to get noticed, while the biggest thing hitting in August is The Emoji Movie.
