Edgar Wright on The Sparks Brothers and embracing originality

Published: June 27, 2021, 2 p.m.

Filmmaker Edgar Wright's new music documentary \u201cThe Sparks Brothers\u201d celebrates two musicians whose work he loves. Ron and Russell Mael are brothers who make up the band Sparks, and they\u2019re a pair of complete originals. Wright is an original, too. His hit movie \u201cBaby Driver\u201d and upcoming thriller \u201cLast Night in Soho\u201d are based on ideas he made up. And he can\u2019t help but wonder why movie studios aren\u2019t willing to take a few more chances on fresh ideas.
