Edgar Wright In Conversation With Joe Cornish

[lazybones]

At the BFI, Tuesday 17th August

When it was announced that Edgar Wright would be writing and directing Scott Pilgrim Vs. the World, a collective sigh of relief could be heard throughout the land. For fans of Bryan Lee O’Malley’s comic book about a Toronto bassist-scenester who must defeat his girlfriend’s seven “evil exes”, there was no better choice than Wright, the man who gave Spaced its idiosyncratic visual style, the zombie brilliance of Shaun of the Dead, and the high-octane send-up Hot Fuzz. Special guest Joe Cornish (of Adam & Joe fame and taking a break from his own foray into film, Attack the Block) will host what is certain to be an extremely entertaining evening, taking a look at Edgar’s work, old and new.

I wish I lived in London.

It was such a wonderful evening and Joe obliquely gave some hints about his experience on Attack The Block.
Jodie Whittaker was in the audience, which was a lovely thing to see.

There are a few pictures around

There's a cursory mention of the talk somewhere in here including the programme notes and Den of Geek reports that Joe was at the premiere.

Finally, we the video evidence from the BFI.

They have less than ten per cent of what went on that night but it's a peach.
