From there, Wright and Pegg collaborated on the films Shaun of the Dead (a zombie/horror/romantic comedy) and Hot Fuzz (an action/cop movie satire) and Wright contributed a fake trailer to the Robert Rodriguez/Quentin Tarantino double feature Grindhouse in 2007. He is the director for the 2010 comic book film Ant-Man.
