First Look at Edgar Wright’s BABY DRIVER

The highly-anticipated (by me, certainly) Baby Driver is director Edgar Wright’s first film since 2013’s The World’s End. I’ve definitely been jonesing for some comedic quick-cut montages and whip-pans.

Entertainment Weekly has debuted the first photos from the upcoming film, featuring Ansel Elgort, Jamie Foxx, Lily James, and Jon Hamm. Baby Driver also stars Kevin Spacey and Jon Bernthal and will be released in theaters on August 11th, 2017. Check out the photos below.

Says Wright:

I always wanted to do an action movie that was powered by music. It’s something that’s very much a part of my previous films and I thought of this idea of how to take that a stage further by having a character who listens to music the entire time. So, you have this young getaway driver who has to soundtrack his entire existence, particularly the bank robberies and fast getaways that come afterwards.

And the official synopsis:

A talented, young getaway driver (Ansel Elgort) relies on the beat of his personal soundtrack to be the best in the game. When he meets the girl of his dreams (Lily James), Baby sees a chance to ditch his criminal life and make a clean getaway. But after being coerced into working for a crime boss (Kevin Spacey), he must face the music when a doomed heist threatens his life, love and freedom.
