Other Work and Future Projects
Wright has a brother, Oscar, who is a comic book artist, contributing storyboards, conceptual art and promotional pictures for Edgar's films. For example he designed comic book interpretations of the characters of Shaun of the Dead and created the animation for the flickbook PC Danny Butterman uses in Hot Fuzz, as well as the art for the "Plot Holes" features on both the Hot Fuzz and Shaun of the Dead DVD releases. Oscar also was on set for the Hot Fuzz poster shoot to help Edgar out with the design. Oscar also directed the Charlotte Hatherley video for "Behave" and also designed the 8-bit Universal Pictures logo at the beginning of the movie, Scott Pilgrim vs. the World along with Edgar.
In 2007, Wright directed a fake trailer insert for Quentin Tarantino and Robert Rodriguez's Grindhouse, called "Don't". It was a plotless trailer that mocked horror clichés, with lines such as, "If you... are thinking... of going ... into... this... house... DON'T!".
In 2010, Wright was offered the chance to direct Mission: Impossible – Ghost Protocol before Brad Bird was chosen.
Also in 2010, Wright's Scott Pilgrim vs. the World, starring Michael Cera was released.
In November 2011, The Adventures of Tintin: Secret of the Unicorn, directed Steven Spielberg, produced by Peter Jackson and based on Hergé's The Adventures of Tintin was released. Wright co-wrote the film with writing partner, Joe Cornish and Steven Moffat. The film also co-starred Wright's frequent collaborators Simon Pegg and Nick Frost.
Wright has been developing a live-action film based on the Marvel Comics superhero Ant-Man with Joe Cornish. The film is scheduled to be released on November 6, 2015.
Wright also has numerous other projects in development, including Them, Baby Driver and a film version of The Night Stalker TV series, starring Johnny Depp, which was announced in in early 2012.

Famous quotes containing the words work, future and/or projects:
“Your work is to keep cranking the flywheel that turns the gears that spin the belt in the engine of belief that keeps you and your desk in midair.”
—Annie Dillard (b. 1945)
“The future is just as much a condition of the present as is the past. “What shall be and must be is the ground of that which is.””
—Friedrich Nietzsche (1844–1900)
“One of the things that is most striking about the young generation is that they never talk about their own futures, there are no futures for this generation, not any of them and so naturally they never think of them. It is very striking, they do not live in the present they just live, as well as they can, and they do not plan. It is extraordinary that whole populations have no projects for a future, none at all.”
—Gertrude Stein (1874–1946)
