What Is It? It's Edgar Wright's new film. Need more? Fine. It stars Ansel Elgort, Lily James, Jamie Foxx, Jon Hamm and Kevin Spacey (jaw-dropping selection I know) and centres on a gang of bank robbers, specifically Elgort's getaway drive, in a heist gone wrong. Not much more is known about the plot, but expected turn-of-the-generation humour and heavily kinetic action.

Why Will It Be Awesome? An Edgar Wright film is always going to be cause for excitement, forever. His Cornetto trilogy was a delight and Scott Pilgrim showed an obsessive construction Kubrick would approve of (if he could get the popularisation of video games). So yeah, this one is pretty much locked as a must-see. Especially as, from the sound of the plot, it'll hew closest to Hot Fuzz, his best film.

Any Concerns? Elgort's best known for his teen-bothering turns in A Fault In Our Stars and Divergent, so is a rather unproven lead for something as intense as this.
