Said to be inspired by this:

 

Pretty intriguing

 

Can't wait for this. Edgar Wright is amazing. Watching Ant Man I couldn't help but think how much better it would have been with Wright in the directors chair.

 

His Instagram is full of pictures from the set, by the way.

 

It's Edgar Wright so of course I'm in but good god, that cast.

 

What is so bad about that cast? Bet that and Spacey are both great, as is John Hamm

 

Nothing, I'm just an idiot who wasn't thinking when he typed, it's a perfect cast.

 

Well then I'll say it, that's a pretty underwhelming cast (for me). but I'll echo the initial sentiment, it's Edgar Wright so will probably be great.

 

I think it's a good not great cast. But yeah I'll watch anything he is remotely involved with

 

That video is really good. Though I thought he should be locked up in the basement of the IT Department. (Should probably point out I'm a Noel fan)

Edgar Wright is one of my favorite directors. Can't wait for this.

 

brilliant. almost forgot about the Shaun of the Dead scene.

 

Cool

 

'Baby Driver': Edgar Wright Gives Sneak Peek at New Action Movie

 

Fuck I am excited

 

Will this be the first actually good use of Jon Hamm since Mad Men?

 

Hyyyype

 

What the fuck did you just say. There is no improper use of Jon Hamm.

 

Haha, I guess I mean in a drama. I feel like he's only been doing comedy cameos.

 

I'm guessing you haven't seen Wet Hot American Summer: First Day of Camp?

 

Or the World Series

 

I'm pretty sure Jon Hamm has said that he was in a dark headspace because of/around the time of Mad Men, and it played a part in his alcoholism. So I get why he's been doing lighter stuff since then. He's good at it, too, much as I miss his dramatic side.

 

I have no problem with Hamm doing comedy, but I want to see with an actual role and not just repeatedly doing cameos

 

Well he's done Million Dollar Arm, Keeping Up With the Joneses, and A Young Doctor's Notebook. Not that any of them were all that good (haven't seen the Greg Mottola spy comedy), but he's done some stuff.

It's only a voice role but the Congress is really great and I'd recommend checking it out.

 

By all indications his role in Unbreakable Kimmy Schmidt season 3 will be a substantial one, so there's that to look forward to.
