Edgar Wright's 'Last Night in Soho' Trailer Drops | No Film School

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.

What's the Hype With 'Interstellar' Revisiting Cinemas After a Decade in 70mm IMAX?

Here's Why You Need to Revisit 'Interstellar' in 70mm IMAX

Celebrate the love and hope at the center of Nolan's space epic in the format it was meant to be seen.

If we know anything about Christopher Nolan, he likes to go big. Nolan started with smaller-scale stories (as many of us do) with early noir adjacent works like Following, Memento, and Insomnia, then started going and staying big with his illusionist drama The Prestige. Since then, the scale has been various degrees of massive, with the biggest scope in his time-and-space sprawling epic, Interstellar.

While Interstellarmight not be everyone's favorite Nolan outing, there's no denying it's an impressive feat of filmmaking and his most emotional—if watching Matthew McConaughey's Cooper desperately try to reach his family through quantum space-time doesn't make you cry at least a little bit, what's going on, dude?

With Interstellar'sIMAX release, it's a great time to shed some tears in a public setting in one of the most prestigious film formats around. As we mentioned in our film gauge piece, Nolan loves shooting on film and utilizes 65mm intentionally to provoke a tone of massive scale. In that regard, Interstellar was made for 70mm IMAX. That goes without saying, dawg. That being said, other factors make Interstellar a perfect movie to revisit in theaters while you can.

Let's break down the release further below.
