Edgar Wright gives ‘Ant-Man’ update, not filmingin in London
Director Edgar Wright has been giving fans an update on the upcoming Ant-Man adaptation, revealing that the film will not shoot at Pinewood, as the studio appears to be completely booked.
“Ironically, Ant-Man was meant to shoot in London,” says Wright to Screen Daily, “but London is full because I guess that Pinewood extension got turned down.
“While the tax break is good for Hollywood films shooting here, it’s probably not that great for British films shooting in the UK. Some middle-to-low budget films are going to find themselves without crew because all the American films are shooting here.”
Wright says the tone will reflect his personality and strengths.
“I like the challenge of doing something slightly different,” explains Wright to Fandango. “I think there will be some elements of my previous movies in there, and I think that’s why Marvel wanted me to do it in the first place.”
Wright’s previous works include Shaun of the Dead, Hot Fuzz, The World’s End and Scott Pilgrim vs the World.
“I don’t think they hired me to do something completely anonymous. So it’s fun – it’s got lots of new elements. I’m excited about it.”
Ant-Man will open in theaters on July 31, 2015.
