Like many other directors—Nicolas Winding Refney for Drive, for example—Edgar Wright cites Walter Hill’s The Driver as one of his film’s main influences.

Four years before principal photography began, Edgar Wright and editor Paul McLees compiled a playlist of over 30 tracks inspired by the film’s script. Lead actor Ansel Elgorty immediately recognized the unique nature of the project.
