Search found 1 match: Edgar Wright

Ok, so now we know the answer was Baby Driver. My cryptic clue was referring to the release date, in the sense that many of the lists/databases you guys were looking up clearly hadn't been updated to include a movie that was released in the last 12 months, and similarly such clue laden images hadn't yet been posted elsewhere online. When I saw maax's highlighting of Blur, I searched for Blur songs in movies and found a list, but Baby Driver wasn't included. That's when I knew that type of detective work was going to go unrewarded.

As for Blur specifically, the album cover is Modern Life is Rubbish and the track 'Intermission' from that recording is used during a key scene in BD (I almost mentioned the scene specifically which would have been a dreadful spoiler!). It therefore probably comes as no surprise that other album covers from songs on the soundtrack are also visible in that image. Pretty much under the Blur album is 'You Want It, You Got It' by the Detroit Emeralds. Moving across to the right of the foreground chair is 'Focus II' by Focus, and the last one I can make out is to the right again towards the background, partially obscured, is 'Bridge Over Troubled Water' by Simon & Garfunkel. All of these albums contain songs that were used in the film. If someone had spotted the Bridge Over Troubled Water album and scanned the track listing, they would have seen the closing credits track 'Baby Driver' which would likely have been a giveaway at that point but it would have been amazing detective work to find that.

Baby Driver was shot in Atlanta, GA so the North Western foliage angle was a complete dead end, I'm afraid.

As for Ferrante & Teicher, I can't explain any clear link for that one as even a direct search of them alongside Baby Driver doesn't bring up any results. That said, Edgar Wright is not the type of director to place something like this in a scene without good reason (see the scattered album covers as previously discussed) but it may just simply be his way to offer a nod of appreciation to their work from the films CosmicMonkey mentioned.

Something I thought might be a complete giveaway was the classic iPod (a key prop that was heavily featured in all marketing) in image two, but in the end nobody seemed to notice that.

I don't think anybody needs it spelt out for them, but just in case anyone thinks it's unfair to play a movie only released in the last 12 months, I think there is just as much chance of someone on here having seen one of the most popular recent cinema releases, as an old classic from the 40s. I try to spread the net of knowledge as far as possible for the tournament to be as inclusive as I can be.

So it's a shame that the internet means I can't often play a series of images so richly filled with clues because they've been already posted online and are searchable. I expect the same will happen with BD in the coming years as Wright's films are so popular so at least we got to play it now. It was a good round and I enjoyed the discussion on here even if the team effort didn't quite pay off in the end.
