I love Edgar Wright. He seems to have his finger on the pulse on what's fun and also what just kicks ass. His new movie, Last Night in Soho, is a personal affair.

"There’s something I have in common with the lead character in that I’m afflicted with nostalgia for a decade I didn’t live in," he told Empire. "You think about ‘60s London—what would that be like? Imagine if you knew everything you knew now, and went back. I’m taking a premise whereby you have a character who, in a sort of abstract way, gets to travel in time. And the reality of the decade is maybe not what she imagines. It has an element of ‘be careful what you wish for.’”


Wright will be a guest on our podcast within the next few weeks, so stay tuned for him to elaborate on his creative process and his latest documentary project. It's going to be an amazing episode.

Now check out the trailer... 

So what's it about? Last Night in Soho is an upcoming psychological horror film with a screenplay by Wright and Krysty Wilson-Cairns, based on a story by Wright. The film stars Anya Taylor-Joy, Thomasin Harcourt McKenzie, Matt Smith, Diana Rigg, Rita Tushingham, and Terence Stamp. The film is about a young fashion designer who mysteriously enters the 1960s to encounter her idol.
