Baby Driver
Baby Driver is a 2017 action film written and directed by Edgar Wright. It stars Ansel Elgort as a getaway driver seeking freedom from a life of crime with his girlfriend Debora (Lily James). Eiza Gonzalez, Jon Hamm, Jamie Foxx, Jon Bernthal, and Kevin Spacey appear in supporting roles. Eric Fellner and his Working Title Films partner Tim Bevan produced Baby Driver in association with Big Talk Productions' Nira Park. Sony and TriStar Pictures handled commercial distribution of the film. Baby Driver was financed through tax subsidies from the Georgia state government and a co-production pact between TriStar and MRC. Wright developed Baby Driver for over two decades. He devised the idea in his youth, and his early directing experience further shaped his ambitions for Baby Driver. Originally based in Los Angeles, Wright revised the film's setting to Atlanta, integrating the city's ethos into an important storytelling device. Principal photography took place in Atlanta from February to May 2016. Production involved the planning of meticulously coordinated stunts, choreography, and in-camera shooting. Thematic studies of Baby Driver examine patterns of color symbolism and Baby's evolving morality. Baby Driver premiered at the South by Southwest festival on March 11, 2017, followed by releases in North America and the United Kingdom on June 28. Media cited the film's craftsmanship and actors for praise, though characterization and screenwriting were sources of criticism. The National Board of Review selected Baby Driver as one of the top films of the year. It earned $226 million globally, bolstered by positive word-of-mouth support and flagging interest in blockbuster franchises. Baby Driver was nominated for numerous awards, including three Academy Awards, two BAFTA Film Awards (with a win for Editing), two Critics' Choice Awards (again, with a win for Editing), and a Golden Globe Award, and won several other honors, chiefly for technical achievement. The success of Baby Driver increased studio interest in producing a sequel.
Tell me about tonight, Buddy. Tonight, Darling, we will have post-heist revelry at Bacchanalia. Why, that is the finest winin' and dinin' of all the wines and dines in town. Ah, that's us. Bye. Well, sir, expect the lady and myself to darken your door once the nose bag is empty. And, Baby, you did good, kid. Do me a favor. Next time Doc calls, don't pick up. Don't listen to him.

Here's what we know. Two men and a woman came into the bank branch clad in black business clothing, trench coats, bandanas and sunglasses. They pulled guns and ordered everybody to the floor, and then cleaned out the registers. And hear this, they even swiped jewelry from some of the customers. You awake? They ran out of the bank to a waiting getaway car. A driver was there to take them away. It was a red... You hungry? Always. You got it.

Was he slow? No.
