Following the escapades of a tinnitus-suffering, talented wheelman, Edgar Wright’s sixth film is a far cry from Shaun and Fuzz. “I wanted to make a film that wasn’t in inverted commas,” Wright tells Empire [in our latest issue](http://www.empireonline.com/movies/news/empire-issue-preview-spider-man-wonder-woman-transformers-baby-driver/s-baby-driver/). “[Baby Driver is] visceral, darker, more cynical. People are surprised by it, in a good way. The stuff in it is universal: car chases and shoot-outs and music and beautiful girls. But the combination of things here feels new.”

“Most action movies at the moment are solidly PG-13. I wanted something spikier,” Wright continues. Driver certainly looks to be just that, swapping model villages and local pubs for full-on car chases and a bank-robbing Jon Hamm. But it’s not just Hamm’s Buddy that Baby Driver has to worry about. There’s also the rest of Doc’s (Kevin Spacey, below) pool of criminals - most notably the red jacket-sporting, heavily-tattooed Bats, played by Jamie Foxx (“I’m there to be the person you really don’t like,” Foxx tells Empire. You’re going to want this motherfucker to burn”).
Will Baby Driver come out of the film unscathed? Will he get the girl (Lily James)? Will we discover the secret to Jon Hamm's perfectly slicked-back hair? Find out when Baby Driver hits cinemas on 28 June.
