Edgar Wright (Shaun of the Dead, Baby Driver) returns to the genre with the psychological horror movie Last Night in Soho, which Focus Features is now releasing on October 22, 2021, a full six months later than the original April date.
While it would have been nice to catch this in the spring, it’ll be way more exciting to celebrate the release over Halloween in a packed theater. Ghostbusters: Afterlife also shifted into the fourth quarter of 2021, with studios giving signals that they feel way more confident there will be a sense of normalcy by then.
Last Night in Soho, starring Anya Taylor-Joy and Thomasin McKenzie, is set in London’s Soho district during the Swinging Sixties, and there seems to be a time travel element involved.
Speaking with Empire recently, Wright teased a “very different” sort of movie.
“It will feel very different to my other films,” Wright told Empire. “But I’ve always liked films which have a slow burn into something else, and a lot of my movies have that feeling.”
He continued, “Last Night starts in a more psychological realm and then starts to get increasingly intense as it goes along. And I always like to gravitate towards making a film in genres I miss, and there’s a certain type of psychological horror film that you got more in the ‘60s and ‘70s, that have something of an operatic nature. I’m using that kind of visual grammar.”
Wright wrote the script with Krysty Wilson-Cairns (“Penny Dreadful”).
