Meet Anya Taylor-Joy in Time-Bending Horror ‘Last Night in Soho’ First Trailer

Focus Features has revealed the first trailer for Edgar Wright’s thriller “Last Night in Soho.” Starring Anya Taylor-Joy, the film is set to be released in theaters on October 22, 2021.

The London-set psychological thriller stars Anya Taylor-Joy, Thomasin Harcourt McKenzie, and Matt Smith. Wright directed “Last Night in Soho” from a script he co-wrote with “Penny Dreadful” scribe Krysty Wilson-Cairns.

Edgar Wright’s psychological thriller is about a young girl, who is passionate about fashion design, who is mysteriously able to enter the 1960s where she encounters her idol, a dazzling wannabe singer. But 1960s London is not what it appears, and time seems to fall apart with shady consequences.

The film is produced by Nira Park, Working Title’s Tim Bevan and Eric Fellner, and Wright. Focus Features and Film4 co-financed the film. Universal Pictures International will release internationally.

Wright’s directing credits include “Shaun of the Dead,” “Hot Fuzz,” “Scott Pilgrim vs. the World,” “The World’s End” and the Sony actioner “Baby Driver,” starring Ansel Elgort. Taylor-Joy’s credits include “The Witch,” “Split” and its sequel “Glass.”

“Last Night in Soho” is Wright’s first directorial release since “Baby Driver,” which opened in June 2017 and became Wright’s biggest box office both in the U.S. ($107 million) and worldwide ($226 million).
