This makes you realise just how fully formed Edgar Wright's vision is before each movie - 90% of the stuff on that brainstorming sketchpad is in the final film - when does that EVER happen!?

Most times a good director has the film visualised like a comic book, scene for scene. Except for when the producers have final word. Then, I think, the writer/director is screwed out of anything. I love directors cut. Ruined films get a chance.

I wonder if Stephen Stills making his flip charts in SPvTW is in reference to Wright planning out his movies that way

'Hot Fuzz' has one of the sharpest comedy script. It's a rapid fire of wit.

Fascinating. I love how much detail they put into it. Very inspiring!

Creating an "arsenal of ideas", to use the term Pegg mentions with regards to the flipchart, before you actually start scripting seems like a brilliant idea and something I might try for my next script. I liked the chart they had about the protagonist that just list character attributes, many of which never even made it into the final script.

There's still something about going back and still using pen, pencil, and marker when purging out ideas for filmmaking.

What an amazing Team..... They even flip the pages together lol. So grateful for their friendship.

Going into the 3rd minute, I can already see so much effort already being put into fleshing out the writing. And look how all of these paid off. We were then given one of the best-written action-comedy films, perhaps even one of the best films, ever made.

I would start to write something and it would be crossed and rewritten and torn off and written over or begin huge and end small Or did they sketch out ideas on a piece of paper and then add the really considered ideas on to the flip chart ?
