IndieWire reports that director Edgar Wright is moving into the documentary genre with his next film, which tells the story of the cult pop-rock band Sparks.
Wright’s career has also seen successes with The Three Flavours Cornetto trilogy made up of Shaun of the Dead, Hot Fuzz and The World’s End, as well as cult hits including Scott Pilgrim vs. The World and the British sitcom Spaced.
Formed in 1972 by Ron and Russell Mael, Sparks have been quiet hits since their beginning, landing on charts all around the world while only accumulating a cult following.
“I have been a fan of them since I saw them on Top Of The Pops in 1979 — and when I had ‘Beat The Clock’ on vinyl,” Wright told the outlet.
