Last Night in Soho Trailer: Dreams Really Do Come True

September 8, 2021

Focus Features has released a brand new Last Night in Soho trailer for Edgar Wright’s long-awaited psychological thriller film, starring Thomasin McKenzie, and Anya Taylor-Joy. The video features lots of new footage which gives us a better idea of the story as McKenzie’s Eloise becomes an unlikely witness to a murder in the past. Now, it’s up to her to give justice to Taylor-Joy’s Sandie by tracking down her killer, while going back-and-forth between the present and the past through her dreams.

The film had its world premiere last Saturday at the 2021 Venice International Film Festival. It is currently scheduled to make its debut in theaters on October 29, which pits it against another horror feature in the form of Searchlight Pictures’ Guillermo del Toro-produced movie Antlers.

Check out the Last Night in Soho trailer below:

Last Night in Soho is directed by Edgar Wright from a screenplay he co-wrote with Krysty Wilson-Cairns (Penny Dreadful). The film will be led by Thomasin McKenzie (Leave No Trace, Jojo Rabbit), Golden Globe winner Anya Taylor-Joy (The Queen’s Gambit), and Emmy nominee Matt Smith (The Crown).

“In the psychological thriller, Eloise, an aspiring fashion designer, is mysteriously able to enter the 1960s London where she encounters a dazzling wannabe singer, Sandie,” reads the synopsis. “But the glamour is not all it appears to be and the dreams of the past start to crack and splinter into something far darker.”

Joining the main cast are Rita Tushingham, Terence Stamp, Jessie Mei Li, Michael Ajao, Synnøve Karlsen, Lisa McGrills, Margaret Nolan, and the late veteran actress Diana Rigg in her final film following her death in September of 2020 at the age of 82.

From Focus Features and Working Title Films, Last Night in Soho is described as in the same vein as Don’t Look Now and Roman Polanski’s Repulsion. Producers are Nira Park, Tim Bevan, Eric Fellner, and Wright. Focus Features and Universal Pictures International will distribute the film worldwide.
