The poster was designed by Alex Pardee in tribute to Sean Of The Dead, Hot Fuzz and Scott Pilgrim Vs The World which will screen at the Midnight For Maniacs event in San Francisco on August 26. Edgar Wright himself will be in attendance. Details below.

Writer/Director Edgar Wright, who will be here in San Francisco at the historic Castro Movie Palace iN PERSON (schedule permitting), will be showcasing his three feature films as well as numerous odds and ends from his oeuvre (the Grindhouse trailer DON’T!) as well as introducing each film and holding a Q&A on stage with host Jesse Hawthorne Ficks! This extraordinary event costs ONLY $15 so buy your tickets early! This is gonna be one helluva nite!

7:00pm – SCOTT PiLGRiM VS. THE WORLD (2010)
Based on the graphic novel by Brian Lee O’Malley
Containing: Michael Cera, Mary Elizabeth Winstead, Kieran Culkin, Johnny Simmons, Jason Schwartzman, Aubrey Plaza, Alison Pill

People all around the country are madly obsessed with this brilliantly intelligent, coming-of age extravaganza! On par with films such as RUSHMORE and ELECTiON, it’s chock full of progressive poignancy, 8-bit nostalgia, really-relatable side characters (with Kieran Culkin giving one of the greatest performances ever!) and a unique, unstoppable creativity that proves that Mr. Edgar Wright is a modern force to be reckoned with. Not only is this the movie you would have snuck into ten times to see when you were a teenager, it reminds you that you can still do that sort of thing… RiGHT NOW! 35mm print courtesy of Universal. 112min.

NOTE: There will be a Q&A on stage with Edgar Wright and Jesse Hawthorne Ficks immediately following SCOTT PiLGRiM.

9:45pm – HOT FUZZ (2007)
Written by Simon Pegg & Edgar Wright
Containing: Simon Pegg, Nick Frost, Martin Freeman

Capturing the "buddy cop" genre has been attempted before and after this brilliant little ditty (see Kevin Smith’s COP OUT and Adam McKay’s THE OTHER GUYS), but what makes HOT FUZZ such a contemporary classic is that it actually achieves it’s own place alongside the films it’s in love with: POiNT BREAK and BAD BOYS 2. This genuine British Bro-mance between real-life BFFs, Simon Pegg & Nick Frost will completely sneak up on you, as they strive for purpose through their small town shenanigans. Widescreen 35mm print courtesy of Focus. 121min.

11:59pm – SHAUN OF THE DEAD (2004)
Written by Simon Pegg & Nick Frost
Containing: Simon Pegg, Nick Frost, Kate Ashfield & Lucy Davis

Riding high off their decade defining TV series SPACED (1999), this gang of Brits translated their genius to the big screen and gave the world one of the all time great Zombie parodies while at the same time (like HOT FUZZ) carving out it’s own top-spot within the genre it loves! What would a couple of modern day stoners do if the world were overrun with flesh eating corpses? Edgar Wright and company deliver a bloody great romp that only gets better and better with multiple viewings! This must be seen at the greatest movie theatre in the United States with the director IN PERSON introducing it to a whole new generation preceded by a RARE 35mm print of Wright’s Grindhouse trailer DON’T! Widescreen 35mm print courtesy of Focus. 99min.

Shaun of the dead is the only Edgar Wright movie that I thought was really good the rest of them are just alright. I know I'll get a lot of flack for saying this but Scott Pilgrim was kind of a dumb movie it just wasn't my type of film.

@NoRegrets

I disagree. Nobody does camera work like Wright.

Favreau's overrated IMO.

I didn't really like Hot Fuzz but Sean and Pilgrim were great.

I haven't seen Hot Fuzz yet, but I do own Shaun of the Dead and Scott Pilgrim. I really enjoyed Scott Pilgrim, but can see how it wouldn't be everyone's cup of tea so to speak. I am a fan of DragonBall-Z though, and the fights in Pilgrim are like how the fights in a live-action DragonBall movie should be.

@EvilOlivE - Finally I meet someone who doesn't love Scott Pilgrim. My friend loves the movie and I watched it and I was like this is dumb.

Original and talented artists like Edgar Wright are really annoying. They keep using up valuable resources which should be used to remake films from the eighties.
Personally, I can't wait for the McG remake of BMX Bandits, or Ratners re-imagining of Spinal Tap with Mike Myers playing all the band members.

nice one crumb..
wright is a great director/writer, but i guess not for everyone..

1. scott pilgrim
2. hot fuzz
3. shaun of the dead

he needs to complete the trilogy quick, i'm getting impatient.. :)
not sure he's right for ant-man though..
thought he'd be more suited to the deadpool movie, if he can do the gory fight scenes right..

Exactly, Edgar Wright films just aren't for everyone. Americans for example, it appears that some of them just don't get the terrible British sense of humour. Poor sods.
