Edgar Howard Wright (born 18 April 1974) is an English filmmaker. He is known for his fast-paced and kinetic, satirical genre films, which feature extensive utilisation of expressive popular music, Steadicam tracking shots, dolly zooms and a signature editing style that includes transitions, whip pans and wipes. He first made independent short films before making his first feature film, A Fistful of Fingers, in 1995. Wright created and directed the comedy series Asylum in 1996, written with David Walliams. After directing several other television shows, Wright directed the sitcom Spaced (1999–2001), which aired for two series and starred frequent collaborators Simon Pegg and Nick Frost. In 2004, Wright directed the zombie comedy Shaun of the Dead, starring Pegg and Frost, the first film in Wright's Three Flavours Cornetto trilogy. The film was co-written with Pegg—as were the next two entries in the trilogy, the buddy cop film Hot Fuzz (2007) and the science fiction comedy The World's End (2013). In 2010, Wright co-wrote and directed the action comedy film Scott Pilgrim vs. the World, an adaptation of the graphic novel series. Along with Joe Cornish and Steven Moffat, he adapted The Adventures of Tintin (2011) for Steven Spielberg. Wright and Cornish co-wrote the screenplay for the Marvel Cinematic Universe film Ant-Man in 2015, which Wright intended to direct but abandoned, citing creative differences. He has also written and directed the action film Baby Driver (2017), the documentary The Sparks Brothers, and the psychological horror film Last Night in Soho (both 2021).
By day, Barbara Bridges is a hardworking journalist for the Paynes Point Reporter. Alongside her photographer and best friend Linda Shepherd, Barbara's hard-hitting work is acclaimed among the citizens of Paynes Point, a coastal New England city. In her secret life, however, she dons a mask and cape and becomes Silver Star, superpowered protector of Paynes Point. Barbara's intentions - to bring justice to the ne'er-do-wells of the city - are good, but her work as a superhero is less graceful than her work as a journalist. Gifted with super strength and the ability to fly, Barbara often does as much harm as good, usually leaving a trail of collateral damage in her wake. Barbara must overcome her superpowered clumsiness, however, when local billionaire businessman Orville Humphries reveals plans for a citywide solar panel system, secretly veiling a world domination plot in which the panels power a villainous machine capable of raising the sea level in order to sink his competitors.
