About Baby Driver in brief
Baby Driver is a 2017 action film written and directed by Edgar Wright. It stars Ansel Elgort as a getaway driver seeking freedom from a life of crime with his girlfriend Debora. Kevin Spacey, Jon Hamm, Eiza González, Jamie Foxx and Jon Bernthal appear in supporting roles. Baby Driver premiered at the South by Southwest festival on March 11, 2017, and was released in theaters in North America and the United Kingdom on June 28. It was well received by the media for its craftsmanship and style, though the characterization and screenwriting drew occasional criticism. The National Board of Review selected Baby Driver as one of the top films of the year. It earned USD 226 million globally, bolstered by positive word-of-mouth support and flagging interest in blockbuster franchises. The film was a candidate for numerous awards, including three Academy Awards, two BAFTAs, two Critics’ Choice Awards, and a Golden Globe for Best Actor in a Motion Picture Musical or Comedy, and won several other honors chiefly for technical achievement. The success of Baby Driver has increased studio interest in producing a sequel, which is expected to be released in 2018. The movie is based on a true story about a man who finds catharsis in music and a woman he falls in love with. It is set in Atlanta, where Wright revised the film’s setting to Atlanta, integrating the city’s ethos into an important storytelling device. He devised the idea well in his youth, and his early directing experience shaped his ambitions for Baby Driver.
It has been described as “one of the most anticipated films of this year” and “the most anticipated film of the summer” by The New York Times’ Tom Charity, who called the film “a masterpiece of storytelling and filmmaking”. The film has been hailed as a “must-see” for fans of comedy and action films. It also has been praised for its clever use of color symbolism and focus on Baby’s evolving morality. The director has said that he was inspired by the work of Spike Jonze, who also wrote the screenplay for “The Grand Budapest Hotel” The film is set to be screened at the Toronto International Film Festival on September 14, 2018. It will also be shown at the Venice Film Festival in Venice, Italy, on September 20, 2018, and at the Berlin Film Festival the following day in Berlin, Germany, and in London, England on September 21, 2018,.
