Focus Features is set to give Edgar Wright’s new film Last Night in Soho a theatrical release on October 29th, and today the final trailer for the movie has arrived online. Check it out in the embed above!
While Wright’s movies tend to have a heavy dose of comedy in them, he has described this one as a “straight-up psychological horror thriller”, inspired by the likes of Don’t Look Now and Repulsion. Scripted by Wright and Krysty Wilson-Cairns, the film stars Thomasin McKenzie and Anya Taylor-Joy as characters named Eloise and Sandie. The film centers on
a young girl, passionate in fashion design, who is mysteriously able to enter the 1960s where she encounters her idol, a dazzling wannabe singer. But 1960s London is not what it appears, and time seems to fall apart with shady consequences…

Much of the story takes place in
the London of the Swinging Sixties; a time period with which Eloise is obsessed and, through a mysterious connection with Sandie, gets to experience.
McKenzie and Taylor-Joy are joined in the cast by Matt Smith, Michael Ajao, Synnøve Karlsen, Diana Rigg, Terence Stamp, Rita Tushingham, and Margaret Nolan. Sadly, both Rigg and Nolan passed away in 2020, so this marks the last film appearances for both of them.
Wright also produced the film with Nira Park and Working Title’s Tim Bevan and Eric Fellner.
I have enjoyed all of the movies Wright has made, to varying degrees, so I’m very much looking forward to checking out Last Night in Soho… I just don’t know if I’ll be seeing this in a theatre, or waiting to watch it at home.
Wright’s previous credits include Shaun of the Dead, Hot Fuzz, The World’s End, Scott Pilgrim vs. the World, Baby Driver, and the Grindhouse faux trailer Don’t.
