IGN had recentelijk de kans om te spreken met Edgar Wright, over zijn aankomende film The Worlds End. Maar daarnaast spraken ze hem ook kort over de superheldenfilm Ant-Man, die hij moet gaan regisseren. Daarbij ging hij in op het genre van de film en op de reden waarom hij de film pas in Marvels Phase Three maakt.
Hij wil de superheldenfilm op en een nieuwe manier aanpakken. Het moet geen standaardfilm worden, vertelde Wright. Its a way of doing a superhero film within another genre. I wanted to tell an origin tale in a slightly different way. Its part of the Marvel cinematic universe, but it also feels like its own piece.
Het plan was om zo lang te wachten met de film, zodat Wright veel ervaring op kon doen met special effects. Ive been collaborating with [Marvel boss] Kevin [Feige] during the whole of that cycle, vertelde hij. I think people have always assumed
Oh why is it taking so long to make? Part of it is because I wanted to make two other movies first. I wanted to make Worlds End
me and Simon were very keen to make it and it felt like it was unfinished business and we wanted to wrap up the trilogy. The script came together really fast. Well not really fast, but it came together at a certain point where it was like I really want to do this next.
Hij maakte de film dan ook later zodat hij meer over special effects kon leren. Ant-Man moet immers een film worden met gigantisch veel special effects. But to be honest, the later I do it, it feels like I could learn more, especially about special effects. Its a big effects movie, so Im pleased to go into it having done Scott Pilgrim and The Worlds End because youre always learning more about that side.
Ant-Man moet eind 2015 in de bioscopen uitkomen. The Worlds End in de loop van deze zomer.
