Comedian Doug Benson also announced the special day, [url="https://twitter.com/#!/DougBenson/status/192644471320612864"]writing on Twitter[/url], "It's @edgarwright's birthday today! But I don't do b-day shout outs, so... here we are. #WhatElseIsInTheNews" Click the cut to see more birthday wishes for Wright from Jon Favreau, Chris Mintz-Plasse, and Eli Roth.
