Mark "RorMachine" Cassidy reported that
Ant-Man director Edgar Wright had indeed turned in a script for the film last Monday. Now Wright sits down with MTV News and inevitably, the topic of
Ant-Man finds it's way into the conversation. Wright had a couple of interesting bits of information he was willing to share.
We actually did hand in a draft on Monday. We didn't do a second draft of Ant-Man till Joe (Cornish) had finished the Attack the Block. So, since like February we've done two drafts of the script. We just handed in the third draft on Monday. So some concept stuff and we're really excited about it. In the time that we've, between the two of us been involved in Ant-Man we've made three movies but the fact that we keep returning to that project is because we're excited about it and think it will be really cool.
He jokingly adds...Is it too much to ask to finish a script before the release date?
On having the freedom to go in their own direction with the film...
Well, that's the appeal of it to us in a way. The way that we wrote the script was for it to be like a stand alone genre film. This should be the same with any adaptation. You shouldn't have to have any prior knowledge of it. That's certainly the way to try and do something like that, to try and create an "in" for people so you don't have to know 50 years of Avengers history to enjoy the movie.
