Maxim’s A Drink With: Director Edgar Wright

This is a fun little interview I did with Maxim this week. They made the infamous Edgar Wrightini for me. And I downed two in the course of the interview. Nice.

If you have not yet seen Scott Pilgrim vs. the World, put this web site down and go do so immediately. They’ve even made it easy for you by releasing it on DVD and Blu-ray this week. For the rest of you, check out our little sit-down with writer and director Edgar Wright (Shaun of the Dead, Hot Fuzz, Spaced), where we talk fight scenes, the zombie renaissance, and educational film acting while downing his signature “Edgar Wrightini.” Cheers!

THE EDGAR WRIGHT-TINI

2 shots reposado tequila
1 shot patron XO cafe
1 shot espresso
Dash agave syrup

Shake, strain, be brilliant…

    Combine your drink with del Toro’s drinking game idea, and you got something extra special.

        Oh, during the the screening at The Egyptian screening moderated by Guillermo Del Toro (video featured on this blog earlier), he said they wished there was a drinking game for the film.

        At some point, if not already done, they should, but making sure to include the Edgar Wright-Tini. Perhaps downing one whenever Ramona changes her hair color or, in relation to the drink, whenever a caffeinated beverage is enjoyed in the film.

  • I am certainly going to make an Edgar Wrightini ASAP…which is likely to be followed by several more.

    Don’t forget to try the Scott Pilgrim drinks! http://www.myskoteket.se/allmant/scott-pilgrim-drinks-english

  • a

    Awesome. Will try this.

    Thanks Edgar for coming to Boston! I added “Punched in the Boob” to IMDB keywords.It was absent for some reason.

    Do you think it might be worth it to trade out the espresso for espresso liquor? Hm… I feel some experimentation is in order.

  • AmberGrindstaff

    Yeah! I will have an EW-T !!

  • I think you should serve Edgar Wrightini’s at the New Beverly tonight!

  • I don’t even like alcohol but I want one.

    This drink looks fantastic! (and expensive…) It makes me happy to see Edgar say how proud he is of Scott Pilgrim. I hate that it hasn’t achieved monumental financial success. I didn’t think the film looked interesting in trailers..and then I saw it in theaters, then again, then I bought the soundtracks, then I bought the Blu Ray…and for the last few months have enveloped myself in the Scott Pilgrim world. The movie is so amazingly good… and Edgar you SHOULD be proud!

    I’ll have to remember this recipe, the wright-tini sounds pretty damn win. Too bad I don’t have ingredients on hand. :<

    Just got out of bed, and mixing up the Edgar Wright-Tini. Great way to start the day.

  • In 5 months when I turn 21 my first drink will be the Edgar Wright-Tini.

    • not 18? where do you live man?

      • Derek

        In the states legal drinking age is 21.

        • Tomb

          Aw, that must suck.

    • drinking is more fun when you’re under age.
