The film was originally written to take place in Los Angeles, but he changed the setting to Atlanta when they decided to shoot there instead.
BABY DRIVER SOUNDTRACK LIST MOVIE
The only other movie he’s done where he got to interview people for research was Hot Fuzz. In developing the script, Wright interviewed real ex-cons so he had a better understanding of American getaway drivers. Wright took the advance from Working Title to write the film in 2007 and turned in the script in 2011. Wright says it’s very deliberate that, at least at the start of the movie, Baby is a bit of a goof when he’s on his own but is very quiet and serious when with the rest of the team.Īnother inspiration for the film was that Wright loved doing choreography in his previous films and music videos. Oliver Sacks’ book Musicophilia gave him the idea to use tinnitus as the reason Baby is always listening to music. Wright says he’s a big believer in music as a motivator and uses music to soundtrack his day, much like Baby.

In 1995 Wright was 21, living in North London, and while he was editing his first film Fist Full of Fingers he was listening to Jon Spencer Blues Explosion and would visualize the action of Baby Driver, specifically the film’s opening car chase, without knowing anything about the story or characters.
Price went on to score The World’s End and Gravity, winning an Oscar for the latter. Wright started writing the film properly in 2007, at which point he connected with then-music supervisor Steven Price who broke down the songs for him. Wright layered in the whine of the tinnitus through the studio logos leading into the beginning of the movie’s first song, which he put together with Steven Price. There’s no substitute for the real thing, and I highly suggest actually listening to both commentary tracks because there’s plenty more included there (and they’re a delightful listen), but as a fan of the film, here’s some of the more notable things I learned about Baby Driver. With the film now available on Blu-ray, DVD, and Digital HD, and given how insightful Wright’s commentary tracks are, I’ve gone through and listened to both Baby Driver tracks and pulled out some particularly insightful or amusing bits of trivia and information. And then, of course, there are two audio commentary tracks: one with just Wright, and another with Wright and his cinematographer Bill Pope, who also shot Scott Pilgrim vs. The Blu-ray is packed to the brim with extras, from 20 minutes of extended scenes to a couple of deleted scenes, as well as copious behind-the-scenes featurettes that cover everything from the music to the stunts to the car chase sequences. Wright is a true lover of film, and thus is prone to packing the home video releases of his movies with tons of behind-the-scenes insights and goodies, which includes at least one insightful audio commentary from the filmmaker himself and sometimes multiple others featuring other folks from the production team and/or cast.īaby Driver, one of the best films of 2017, is no exception, and now the film is out on Blu-ray and DVD for all to consume over and over again. In the lead up to every new Edgar Wright film, there’s certainly excitement about the film itself, but there’s always added excitement about the eventual Blu-ray release and accompanying commentary track.
