Director Edgar Wright Exits Ant-Man After Eight Years

This does not bode well. Director Edgar Wright has exited Marvels' Ant-Man due to creative differences, Variety reports. Wright has been attached to the project since its inception in 2006, and has since been busy writing and re-writing the scrip with Joe Cornish. The Scott Pilgrim vs. the World helmer even developed and debuted test footage of how he plans to adapt the shape-shifting character for the big screen at Comic-Con in 2012.

Dead and Loving It

It's not a big-budget action flick like the upcoming Alexander or a high-toned biopic like next month's Ray, but Shaun of the Dead (opening Friday) is one of the best movies you're likely to see this fall. A "romantic zombie comedy" from England, Shaun is both a dead-on homage to such genre classics as Evil Dead II, 28 Days Later — and, of course, Dawn of the Dead — and pretty hilarious besides. Director Edgar Wright and star Simon Pegg spent 18 months crafting the screenplay, which follows Shaun, the titular slacker hero, as he attempts to win back the heart of his estranged girlfriend while fighting off legions of the undead. On their recent visit to the States, the Brits allowed TV Guide Online to pick their brains about their love of zombies.
