* AffectionateParody: The ''Film/BloodAndIceCreamTrilogy'' is a trio of these for [[Film/ShaunOfTheDead zombie films]], [[Film/HotFuzz action movies]], and [[Film/TheWorldsEnd sci-fi flicks]]. Much to his fandom and co-workers' chagrin though, being famous for these movies made general audiences label him as a parodist. This mostly stopped after reevaluations clarified that those films were legitimate entries in their respective genres that just happened to be comedies, and Wright had made a name for himself away from overt send-ups.

Edgar Howard Wright (born 18 April 1974 in Poole, England) is a British director known for making stylish, genre-busting films, usually working with Creator/SimonPegg and Creator/NickFrost. He is also known for his surprising talent of making films that function equally well as both [[GenreDeconstruction deconstructions]] and [[ChekhovsArmoury carefully crafted]] stories. He is JustForFun/OneOfUs, a very notable example of a film geek-cum-director a la Creator/QuentinTarantino and Creator/KevinSmith, both of whom he is close friends with.
