New Photo From Edgar Wright's LAST NIGHT IN SOHO The Director Shares His Inspiration for the Film
Anya Taylor-Joy glows red in this brand new photo from director Edgar Wright’s upcoming psychological horror-thriller Last Night In Soho.
The story is set in London and one aspect of it takes place in 2019, Eloise (Thomasin McKenzie), “is a young woman from the country, who arrives in London to pursue her passion for fashion design. Things don’t go great. Meanwhile, in 1965, singer Sandy (Anya Taylor-Joy) similarly discovers that the big city’s supposedly gold-paved streets are riven with cracks that can swallow you whole.”
In a recent interview with GamesRadar, Wright talked about the film and what inspired it, saying:
“The idea for the movie is the result of 25 years of living and working in Soho. I spent so much time looking at the architecture, thinking, ‘What have these walls seen?’ And walking the streets late at night. Soho’s become a lot more gentrified, but it still has that darkness just under the surface. It’s one of those places where you only need to stand still for 60 seconds for something strange or magical or weird or dark to happen.”
The movie also stars Matt Smith (The Crown), Synnøve Karlsen, Michael Ajao, Diana Rigg, Terence Stamp, and Rita Tushingham.
Wright wrote the script for the film with Penny Dreadful scribe Krysty Wilson-Cairns. When previously talking about it, Wright described the film as being in the vein of Donald Sutherland’s 1973 film Don’t Look Now and Roman Polanski’s 1965 movie Repulsion.
The movie is currently set to be released on April 23, 2021.
