The director of The World’s End , coming out this Friday, walked me around a Los Angeles art gallery on the opening night of The Official Edgar Wright Art Show. All of the pieces were made by his fans to celebrate his cult films.
When Edgar Wright said, “I look a bit like Jesus in this."
The small gallery was packed to capacity as we stood in the middle of Gallery 1988 in West Hollywood.
"This is an amazing painting," Wright said when I asked if he'd seen the ice cream painting. "But maybe this needs to go in our office. I think I’ll try to convince my producer to buy it. I’m not sure I could have a painting of myself in my home.”
When this Shaun of the Dead statue held a cricket bat like he was ready to kill some zombies.

When a Wright fan created this World's End art, even though the movie isn't out yet.
“What’s also amazing is the people who’ve done World’s End art, have done it based on the trailer alone. Which I think is pretty incredible,” Wright said. "It’s actually completely bang on in terms of the actual movie," he pointed to the painting.
The World's End premieres this Friday, by the way.

When a painting of Simon Pegg was behind the REAL Simon Pegg.
"I actually said, if we do it the week of release, Simon and Nick will be here as well," Wright said of the art show.
