Baby Driver is an action film written and directed by Edgar Wright. First released on June 28, 2017, it tells the story of a young Atlanta-based getaway driver's (Ansel Elgort, pictured) quest for freedom from a life of crime with his lover Debora (Lily James). The film also features Kevin Spacey, Jon Hamm, Eiza González, Jamie Foxx and Jon Bernthal in supporting roles. Baby Driver was a longtime passion project Wright had developed for over two decades, and his early directing experience shaped his ambitions for the project. Filming took place over four months, which involved the planning of meticulously coordinated stunts, choreography, and in-camera shooting. Baby Driver was praised by critics for its craftsmanship, but the characterization and scriptwriting drew mixed responses. During its initial theatrical run, the film grossed $226 million at the global box office, boosted by positive word-of-mouth support and fatiguing interest in blockbuster franchises. The success of Baby Driver has increased studio interest in producing a sequel. (Full article...)

Sounds good to me. DAP 💅 07:30, 3 May 2020 (UTC)[reply]
Changed my mind ... I've probably done my due diligence at this point by linking to the blurb review; probably, people aren't expecting anything else, and I need to avoid the appearance of being too taken with my own prose. Do what you like, but FWIW, there's a chance someone will comment on the tone of "longtime passion project", "shaped his ambitions" and "meticulously coordinated". It may be a little too promotional. - Dank (push to talk) 20:20, 3 May 2020 (UTC)[reply]
For what it's worth I'm uncomfortable with the prose as well as written. Therapyisgood (talk) 01:50, 14 May 2020 (UTC)[reply]
