Edgar Wright Praises Indian Cinema, Eager to Visit the Country

In a recent interview, acclaimed filmmaker Edgar Wright expressed his deep appreciation for Indian cinema. The director, whose latest film 'The Running Man' is now in theaters, revealed that he has been a fan of Satyajit Ray's classic 'Apu' trilogy and thoroughly enjoyed the recent blockbuster 'RRR.'

Wright, who has a strong following in India, particularly among fans of actor Glenn Powell, shared his enthusiasm for the country's cinematic offerings. "I don't see as much Indian cinema as I'd like to, but the ones that I have seen I've really enjoyed. Like a lot of the rest of the world, I really enjoyed 'RRR' when it came out and had an absolute blast watching that at the cinema," he said.

Despite his admiration for Indian films, Wright has never had the opportunity to visit the country. "It's actually a country that I've never been to, and I've always wanted to," he admitted. The director's excitement to experience India firsthand is palpable, as he looks forward to exploring the nation's rich cultural and cinematic heritage.

In addition to discussing his love for Indian cinema, Wright also delved into the challenges of producing his latest high-octane thriller, 'The Running Man.' The director spoke about the complexities of coordinating the film's ambitious scale, from crafting intricate action sequences to managing the large ensemble cast and crew. "Mounting the production and just directing it, it's a lot of moving parts. There are a lot of locations, details, and cast, so it's an incredibly complicated film," he shared.
