Talk:Edgar Wright

The World´s End

This just in. That is the name of the long-awaited "Thrird film" of the Blood and Ice-cream trilogy. Only I dont know how to cite my sources... (which are Peggster.net and the Guardian)

Edgar Wright´s sexual orientation

This article states that Edgar Wright has a girlfriend, but I remember that on the special features for Shaun of the Dead there was a storyboard featurette with Simon Pegg and Edgar Wright discussing the different panels. At one point during the discussion, Edgar Wright is said to be a homosexual. The exact context was something having "GAY" written on it on the storyboard, and Pegg quipping "Just like Edgar." Wright agreed with this in a non-joking manner. There may have been additional comments about his orientation, but I can't remember them as exactly. I tried to search around and try to verify this one way or the other, but came up with nothing. I'm positive that, at least during the filming of Shaun of the Dead, Edgar Wright identified as a homosexual. Has this change since that, and if so, is there a source able to confirm it? Thank you.

Haven't seen this featurette, but perhaps Pegg and Wright were just being deadpan. Wikipedia's entry on Charlotte Hatherley states that she is his girlfriend and this site http://www.sundaylife.co.uk/features/article2193531.ece for the Sunday Life Newspaper backs it up.

It's on "Simon and Edgar's Flip Chart" (DVD under Extras: Raw Meat) at around 10:50. The chart says "Edgar is Gay - Fact"; obviously a joke, as another page of the chart included "Edgar is Bootilicious - Fact" - 90.241.147.75 19:39, 14 July 2007 (UTC)

Collider

A film called Collider (2013). Wright was reportedly involved with a project called Collider. Does not look like he was involved in the Collider (2013). The news reports were from 2012 in a section called "Future" so I removed it for now. -- 109.78.129.71 (talk) 07:34, 4 January 2014 (UTC)

Rumoured/aborted/vapor projects

I don't think a section about things that haven't happened – and most of which never will happen – is a good idea. Rumours are almost never worth including, and rumours that turned out to be without substance, or even seemingly reliable reports about things that never came to fruition... simply aren't encyclopedic information. For example, lots of people haven't made a film adaptation of Grasshopper Jungle... why is it worthwhile to mention that Wright hasn't either, just because he planned to? -Jason A. Quest (talk) 18:08, 2 March 2020 (UTC)

I'd tend to agree. Only way for that sort of thing to be notable is if there's a frequent amount of them. Take this category full of filmmakers with unrealized projects They're all fairly extensive. Wriht'd career hasn't been long enough, nor rife with unrealized projects for them to be noted yet. Rusted AutoParts 18:16, 2 March 2020 (UTC)

I’ve actually created a draft article that can be used to flesh out his unrealized projects. Rusted AutoParts 22:30, 2 March 2020 (UTC)

The draft looks good. I would say this though - given that most of these projects didn't come to even a partial fruition, that they may not be worth mentioning other than maybe one paragraph on the main page that groups all the titles together (e.g. "other films abandoned by Wright and/or given to other directors include...). If there were films he worked on that existed in incomplete forms with the potential to finish someday, it would be different. But given that these projects don't really exist anymore, it may be best to go with the brief paragraph rather than a new page. But either way Jason A. Quest is right, and I'll support any consensus for either idea. YouCanDoBetter (talk) 06:34, 3 March 2020 (UTC)

Thanks for raising - I didn't feel justified in flat out deleting them as there seemed a lot to me. If there's even more that aren't logged on this page then it seems like it might warrant mention in a list/chronology or similar format instead of the multiple paras we currently have.--Tip.Stall (talk) 08:25, 3 March 2020 (UTC)

Creating a separate article for this is exactly the wrong solution. A list of things that didn't happen is the kind of fancruft that Wikipedia doesn't need. -Jason A. Quest (talk) 16:24, 3 March 2020 (UTC)

That’s why it’s in a draftspace. Plus it’s not like there isn’t precedent for separate articles about unrealized projects. Ridley Scott and Steven Spielberg have them, in addition to multiple others. Rusted AutoParts 16:32, 3 March 2020 (UTC)
