Edgar Wright Screens ‘The Running Man’ and Confirms ‘Baby Driver 2’ Script
Edgar Wright recently hosted a private screening of his latest project The Running Man on the Paramount lot, drawing top filmmakers such as Taika Waititi, Jordan Peele, Ti West, Joseph Kosinski, Barry Jenkins, JT Mollner, Phil Lord and Christopher Miller, Joe Dante, and Walter Hill.
Speculation continues about what Wright will direct next. Possibilities include his Barbarella remake starring Sydney Sweeney or the long-awaited sequel to Baby Driver.
‘Baby Driver 2’ Script Completed
Wright confirmed that a script for Baby Driver 2 is complete, suggesting progress toward the follow-up to his 2017 hit, which grossed $227 million on a $34 million budget. Fans have awaited this update for years.
“There is a script for ‘Baby Driver 2.’ That is something that actually exists,” Wright said. “But most filmmaking depends on factors beyond you — timing, financing, who’s available. You’re not always completely in control of those things.”
Rumors suggest Jon Bernthal could have a more significant role this time, while it remains unclear if the original cast, including Ansel Elgort, Jamie Foxx, Jon Hamm, Kevin Spacey, and Eiza Gonzalez, will return.
Wright’s Reputation in Filmmaking
Known for his striking visual style and kinetic storytelling, Wright continues to attract attention across the industry. However, critics occasionally note his tendency toward overly playful or juvenile elements in his filmmaking approach.
