I thought Baby Driver was an animated kids movie like Boss Baby.......

Same cinematic universe, along with Baby Geniuses and Baby's Day Out.

 

[ZeoVGM]

What kind of fucking name is "Baby Driver" LMAO

...Hilarious?

 

[Pandy]

Yes! Just checked, and while my local cinema isn't showing it at release, they are showing it in a couple of weeks time.

Hope it does well.

 

[Hydrogen Bluebird]

Sucks that I have to wait until mid-August for this movie to be released in my country.

 

[gdt]

Shhiiiiit I forgot this came out so soon. I was thinking July something. Will see it this weekend for sure!

 

[Grimsen]

Have Friday off, will definitely catch this. Gonna drop the kids off at my mom's for a matinee, on my own if I have to.

 

[Skeeter49]

Should be watching it tomorrow. So excited.

 

[Metal-Geo]

Going to a second show this week. This movie is incredible. It’s not Wright’s best work - but damn if it isn’t something I want more of.

 

[BlueTsunami]

Oooh lawdy, its showing tomorrow at 7

 

[aBarreras]

the wait for august 11 will be long T_T, and it will probably release on br before it premieres here on mexico, god dammit

 

[Toothless]

Looks so good. I can't see it till Friday but I'm super hyped.

 

[Adam Sadler]

Yeah, I'm watching this tomorrow

 

[ColonialHawk]

My body is ready

 

[clemenx]

Eiza <3 conquer the world baby.

 

[Dreams-Visions]

Damn I know nothing about this. Looks dope.

 

[Glass Rebel]

Same cinematic universe, along with Baby Geniuses and Baby's Day Out.

How does Gone Baby Gone play into this? Is it like an MCU - Sony situation?

 

[demosthenes]

Going Wednesday at 9.30. Hope this movie catches on.

 

[plainr_]

Nice. The next few weeks is packed with hitters.

 

[Xevren]

Seeing it in about 12 hours, by far my most anticipated movie of the summer. So excited!

 

[Rhaknar]

Need to see this bad

 

[ArkkAngel007]

Plot sounds ace. Might take the time for this one.

 

[Dachande]

Booked for Thursday night, looking forward to itttt

 

[Discotheque]

Seeing this on Thursday. And probably the Tuesday after that tbh.

 

[BlueTsunami]

How does Gone Baby Gone play into this? Is it like an MCU - Sony situation?

Gone Baby Gone is the epilogue

 

[Shaneus]

How does Gone Baby Gone play into this? Is it like an MCU - Sony situation?

It's a spinoff, just like Three Men and a Baby

Spoiler

Driver

.

 

[Toa TAK]

Seeing this Thursday.

Don't fail me nerdgod Wright.

 

[Falchion]

Damn this sounds awesome, excited to see it and hear the soundtrack.

 

[Gunstarheroes]

I can't fucking wait for tomorrow. I adore Edgar Wright, and I love every idea in this movie.

 

[Altazor]

Release date over here is August 10th, ugh. The wait's gonna be incredibly obnoxious

 

[Emarv]

Same cinematic universe, along with Baby Geniuses and Baby's Day Out.

Don't forget the dark, gritty prequel: Million Dollar Baby.

 

[remz]

How does Gone Baby Gone play into this? Is it like an MCU - Sony situation?

It's the bridge between Baby Driver and Gone Girl

 

[Blue Lou]

Same cinematic universe, along with Baby Geniuses and Baby's Day Out.

Edgar Wright has already said this is part of the Simon and Garfunkel Universe. Marc Webb is directing "The Only Living Boy in New York".

 

[red capsule]

And this is part of why no one is going to buy tickets to this thing.

Also the TV ads are awful.

i remember seeing the trailer for this movie
and thinking to myself that it was the stupidest thing ever

 

[Zaventem]

I thought the rotten was gonna be THAT guy.

 

[overcast]

could good word of mouth and good rottenscore help this movie be a sleepr hit like Get out?

Uh it could be a sleeper hit but likely not on the level of Get Out. Couple differences:
Get Out was a cheaply made horror movie
Get Out had better marketing
As mentioned the black community push did help Get Out a bunch.

Most importantly Get Out had a PERFECT release date. This one just can't have the same legs given the late June release unfortunately. I think this could have really chugged along nicely in August. Oh well.

I thought the rotten was gonna be THAT guy.

Shockingly he gave it a fresh review.

 

[LucidMomentum]

Going in hot for the 7pm showing tomorrow.

I'm super hype.

 

[Lionel Mandrake]

I've been looking forward to this for quite some time.

Side-note: It's really refreshing to see one of the hundreds of blockbuster movies filmed in Atlanta being set in fucking Atlanta.

 

[NipplesAndToes23]

I would love to see this, but I doubt I will. I've been too broke to see any movie this year and just being in Wal-Mart I find out all the movies I've wanted to see so far are already out on blu-ray.

 

[Prophet Steve]

Going tomorrow, have been pretty excited for this for some time.

Sadly none of my friends knew about it, but I managed to win them over. I just hope it will do well enough during this busy period.

 

[bachikarn]

Can't wait

 

[Kuroi Gogeta]

The name is at odds with the marketing for the film. Yes I understand his name is Baby and he's a driver, but I think it might be easy for someone to confuse it with a family friendly comedy.

 

[Zeyphersan]

Got tickets for tomorrow night, I could not be more pumped

 

[Hamster Plugin]

Wow, release date is 21 July here. Way to kill the movie with this late release shit, I'm probably going to forget about it as people stop talking about it in a few weeks.

 

[ntinosaur]

Sigh... As always (except Scott Pilgrim) an Edgar Wright movie is not released in Greece...

Well.. Only one thing to do now..

 

[guybrushfreeman]

Well then Edgar, I guess I have a movie to see soon

 

[AndersK]

Thursday baby!

Spoiler

(Driver)

YEAH!

 

[Pachimari]

This is gonna be so fucking interesting. Booked my ticket and I'm so ready for tomorrow!

 

[Mr. Sam]

My most anticipated movie of the year, hands down. My girlfriend and I have tickets for tomorrow night.

I'll post the OT later today.

 

[Solo]

the main character is named baby, also he is a driver

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eeqUUNHwAl8

Also main character is called Baby and is a driver.....

He's a getaway driver and his name is Baby.

I think his point is that "Baby Driver" is a horrendous, indefensibly awful choice for the title of a summer popcorn movie. Unless this gets crazy buzz from the 17 people who see it, I just can't help but picture the movie not bombing hard, due to large part to the name and marketing.

Which would be sad since by all accounts it's a great movie.
