Last Night in Soho Trailer Reveals Edgar Wright’s Psychological Horror Film

The long-awaited release from Wright is finally slated to premiere this October.

Focus Features has released the first full trailer for Edgar Wright‘s new psychological horror movie, Last Night in Soho, as well as a chilling new poster for the upcoming film. The trailer drop follows the recent release of a teaser that premiered during star Anya Taylor-Joy‘s hosting duties on Saturday Night Live earlier this week and did exactly what it was supposed to: left us waiting with bated breath for this longer look at Wright and Joy’s creative collaboration.

From the very first strains of a melancholic cover of Petula Clark‘s “Downtown” (sung by Taylor-Joy herself), it’s clear that Wright is taking us on a journey of time-travel where nothing is as it seems. There’s a lot for Thomasin McKenzie‘s heroine Eloise to take in when she unexpectedly finds herself in the 1960s, from the glitz and the glamour — but it soon becomes apparent that her mysterious connection to Taylor-Joy’s character Sandy, a long-time idol, will have much more sinister consequences. “When the past lets you in, the truth will come out” is a fittingly chilling tagline for what promises to be a fantastic new film from Wright.

Last Night in Soho marks Wright’s first venture into the psychological horror vein; his previous efforts, such as Shaun of the Dead, offered more of a comedic throughline alongside zombie gore and frights. The film was originally slated for release on September 25, 2020, but was delayed to April 23 due to the COVID-19 pandemic and then ultimately pushed back yet again. The film stars Taylor-Joy as Sandy, McKenzie as Eloise, Matt Smith, Diana Rigg, Terence Stamp, Jessie Mei Li, Rita Tushingham, Michael Ajao,Synnøve Karlsen and Margaret Nolan. Wright directs from a script he co-wrote with former Penny Dreadful staff writer and 1917 co-writer Krysty Wilson-Cairns.

Last Night in Sohois currently slated for an October 22 theatrical release. Watch the first full-length trailer below:
