Everyone here at JoBlo is excited for huge upcoming movies, like BLADE RUNNER 2049 and STAR WARS, but as cited on our video list earlier this year we’re also pumped for Edgar Wright’s upcoming film, BABY DRIVER. About a getaway driver who works to the beat of his own, personal soundtrack, the first trailer dropped and resulted in much laughter and messy excitement. For those of who are jacked like us, then today is your lucky day.
Why, you ask? Well because Wright took to Twitter today to announce the movie would not be racing into theaters on August 11 as planned, but like any proper getaway driver is arriving ahead of schedule on June 28. Arriving precisely when you mean to is for punks.
This is great news for anyone who can’t wait that much longer for the movie, but might be bad news for the movie itself. Before the shift it was going to be released during the often quiet month of August, when most people come down from the crack-like high of summer fare. Now it will go up against TRANSFORMERS 5 and DESPICABLE ME 3. DRIVER will have no problem appealing to a different demo than those flicks, but they will still be an undesirable distraction.
No matter. BABY DRIVER already has my money. The trailer was hilarious and action-packed, and the movie has a great cast including Ansel Elgort, Lily James, Jamie Foxx, Jon Hamm and Kevin Spacey. Kevin. F@cking. Spacey.
BABY DRIVER arrives June 28.
