Edgar Wright is one of the most distinct directors working today, tackling the zombie, buddy cop, video game, and superhero genres. Now focusing he’s made what should be an epic heist movie with plenty of insane car chases in this year’s Baby Driver. Check out an exclusive video on how the actors prepared for their driving stunts.

Baby Driver stars young baby-faced heartthrob Ansel Elgort as “Baby”—a talented getaway driver who rocks out to music while pulling off some impressive driving stunts for shady people played by Kevin Spacey, Jamie Foxx, and Jon Hamm.

If you’ve already seen the trailer, you know there’s some seriously cool driving in this movie; a high-speed J-turn drift in a red Subaru WRX is particularly amazing.

In this day and age, it’s refreshing to hear that a movie’s stunts are not just fancy computer generated tricks edited to shit, but instead real people and real cars doing real things that look awesome.

If you like stunt driving, good music and fantastic filmmaking, Baby Driver hits theaters June 28th.
