Columbia Pictures has just released the six-minute Baby Driver opening scene online which encapsulates the acclaimed film’s energetic spirit and cool vibe.
Check out the scene below and watch Baby Driver in Philippine cinemas on August 2, 2017.
“The movie is structured so it opens with the dream of being a getaway driver, and very quickly turns into the nightmare of being a criminal,” says director and screenwriter Edgar Wright. “The opening chase is sort of positioned as a clockwork act of precision. Everything goes right. Then very quickly, with subsequent situations, things start to go wrong, and very visceral consequences start to bear down. The storm clouds have been gathering during the movie. At some point, Baby’s luck is gonna run out.”
In the film, a talented, young getaway driver named Baby (Ansel Elgort) relies on the beat of his personal soundtrack to be the best in the game. When he meets the girl of his dreams (Lily James), Baby sees a chance to ditch his criminal life and make a clean getaway. But after being coerced into working for a crime boss (Kevin Spacey), he must face the music when a doomed heist threatens his life, love, and freedom.
Full of reversals, rewinds, fast forwards, and heart-stopping skips, and inspired by the types of crime-and-chase movies that have thrilled moviegoers since Steve McQueen in a revved-up Mustang changed car pursuits forever, Baby Driver is a game-changing, lane-changing, hard-charging blast only Wright could have dreamed up.
Baby Driver stars Ansel Elgort (The Fault in Our Stars), Kevin Spacey (House of Cards), Lily James (Cinderella), Jon Bernthal (The Walking Dead), Eiza Gonzalez (From Dusk til Dawn), with Jon Hamm (Mad Men), and Jamie Foxx (Sleepless).
Opening in Philippine cinemas on August 2, 2017, Baby Driver is distributed by Columbia Pictures, local office of Sony Pictures Releasing International.
