Interview: Baby Driver stars Ansel Elgort and Lily James on working with Edgar Wright and becoming action car drivers

While in Australia, actors Ansel Elgort and Lily James sat down with The Iris’s Larry Heath to talk about working with writer/director Edgar Wright in their highly acclaimed new film Baby Driver (in cinemas today). We talk about playing straight characters for a director who works with comic actors and scenarios, while Ansel also reveals who his favourite actor in the film is.

We go on to talk about filming the epic car chase sequences… so, just how much of the action were they actually doing themselves?

Baby Driver rides into Australian cinemas today through Sony Pictures.
