Last Night in Soho Teaser
TheLast Night in Sohoteaser comes with a tagline that will clearly be accompanying the film’s marketing campaign, “What happened last night in Soho?” Whatever happened, it involves neon-soaked imagery and the unmistakable style of 1960s London. That’s because the movie finds an aspiring fashionista suddenly transported to that iconic time period in London’s history. Here’s the official synopsis:
A young girl, who is passionate about fashion design, mysteriously enters the 1960s, where she encounters her idol, a dazzling wannabe singer. But 1960s London is not what it seems, and time seems to fall apart with shady consequences.
Edgar Wright has cited Nicolas Roeg’sDon’t Look Nowand Roman Polanski’sRepulsionas inspirations for the film, andhe previously said:
“It will feel very different to my other films. But I’ve always liked films which have a slow burn into something else, and a lot of my movies have that feeling. 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.”
Edgar Wright co-wrote the script withKrysty Wilson-Cairns(1917) and he also produces withNira Park, and Working Title’sTim BevanandEric Fellner.Last Night in Sohoalso starsMatt Smith(Doctor Who),Diana Rigg(Game of Thrones),Terence Stamp(The Adjustment Bureau),Michael Ajao,Synnøve Karlsen,andRita Tushingham.
