My new music video for @juliacumming_'s 'My Life' single on @partisanrecords has been out for one week. It was a hugely fun one to put together. Please enjoy the FULL video here!

It's mostly one single shot (take 14, since you asked) and I couldn't even begin to make a vid like this without an AMAZING crew who worked their socks off. Full credits in previous posts and eternal thanks to them all.

@glovebrands1 Love your Great Uncle - an amazing actor.

More Oliver Reed! Check him out dancing up a storm in one of my favourite UK cult movies, Edmond T. Gréville’s BEAT GIRL (1960): a wonderfully lurid trip through the beatnik coffee bars and strip clubs of Soho.

Set to John Barry’s fantastic score (his first), this scene sees Gillian Hills’ teen temptress heading down to a Soho basement and frugging away with Ollie Reed in the checked shirt. Enjoy.

@BillingsgateBob No, that's Joseph Losey's 'THE DAMNED'.

[edgarwright @edgarwright]

@simon3677 Absolutely.

[edgarwright @edgarwright]

@equality2112 Absolutely not. I want to see it again.

[edgarwright @edgarwright]

@emrsnkennedy Yeah. I keep trying to see Fjord but the showtimes aren’t working out for me so far. Will go soon.

[edgarwright @edgarwright]

Too many movies coming out on the same weekend. Spread them out! They don't all have to come out in October.

[edgarwright @edgarwright]

@JBrogan1975 @Film4 TBD!

[edgarwright @edgarwright]

Hey UK! The delicious trio of SHAUN OF THE DEAD, HOT FUZZ and THE WORLD’S END has found a new home on @Film4.

Delighted to have our tales of zombies, village conspiracies and catastrophically ill-advised pub crawls all together on the channel.

They’re playing now, with another round starting this Saturday: SHAUN on October 24th, FUZZ on the 26th and WORLD’S END on the 27th, all at 9pm. All three films (plus @lastnightinsoho) are streaming free on @Channel4.

Get the Cornettos in.

@snichyn Easier and quicker to clean up the set and take off the makeup, than have everyone made up and dress the set.

[edgarwright @edgarwright]

We shot the aftermath first. Then redressed everything to shoot the 'before times' after. The ace steadicam operator was Paul Edwards. It was the first day of the shoot on the film too!

[cinesthetic. @TheCinesthetic]

SHAUN OF THE DEAD (2004) uses the exact same walk before and after the zombie outbreak, turning an ordinary morning routine into a brilliant visual joke. The attention to detail is unreal.

[edgarwright @edgarwright]

@MJL77 I do. I think, much later, I shot a music video in the very same alley. It was near Kings Cross and was in so many shoots - now demolished.

With the late, great Oliver Reed currently wowing 2026 audiences all over again with his incredible performance in the restored version of Ken Russell’s ‘The Devils’, I wanted to share this amazing clip of him from 1985.

The rather low-res clip comes from ‘In at the Deep End’, a BBC series in which presenter Paul Heiney tries his hands at a profession he had zero experience in. For this episode, Heiney was preparing for an acting role opposite Michael Caine in ‘Water’ and went to Oliver Reed for some pointers on how to play a villain.

Please enjoy what happens next.

@VelvetBarstool @fin_lay24 In cinemas right now!

[edgarwright @edgarwright]

@JamesUrbaniak In some territories, 'You Can See Everything' is retitled 'Abbott and Costello Meet the Mummy'.

[edgarwright @edgarwright]

@eltonparrakis BINGO.

[edgarwright @edgarwright]

@fredhiker That's a lead actor!

[edgarwright @edgarwright]

@SwordsaintPress A legend.

[edgarwright @edgarwright]

@NeonEcho1 Timothy is a lead, baby. He's BOND!
