Every Edgar Wright film is stuffed with glorious detail – visual gags, genre nods, secret cameos and more – reflecting a level of craft that his fans revel in. And it’s all because the British director knows film inside and out, feeding his own fandom and favourites into his work – but does he know his own films inside and out? As part of our Empire 30 celebrations, we put the filmmaker to the test in a brutally hard quiz, quizzing his in-depth knowledge on the most minute details in his five beloved feature films – Shaun Of The Dead, Hot Fuzz, The World’s End, Scott Pilgrim Vs. The World, and Baby Driver – and beyond. See how he fared in his very own Movie Mastermind.
Inside the Captain Marvel* issue of *Empire – on sale now and available to order online here – we delve even further into Edgar’s world, with a career-spanning oral history from his long list of collaborators (and his mum and dad), a run-down of his top 10 shots as voted for by you, and the answers to the pressing questions you posed in The People Vs. Edgar Wright. Pick up a copy in all good and evil newsagents now – just watch out for zombie attacks when you’re nipping to the shops, alright?
