The logline forLast Night in Sohoreads: “Eloise, a young woman with a passion for fashion design and a strange sixth sense, mysteriously finds herselftransported back in timeto 1966 London in the body of her idol, a singer named Sandie. While in Sandie’s body, she enters into a romantic relationship; but then, she begins to realize that the glamour of the 1960s London is not what it appears to be and the past and present seem to fall apart with shady and horrifying consequences.”
Wright directsLast Night in Sohousing a screenplay co-written with Krysty Wilson-Cairns. Thomasin McKenzie andAnya Taylor-Joylead a cast that also includes Matt Smith, Terence Stam, Rita Tushingtham, Jessie Mei Li, and Michael Ajao. Late Bond girl andGame of Thronesstar Diana Rigg is also posthumously featured in her final role. It is also the final movie appearance of Margaret Nolan, who passed away in October 2020.
“It’s difficult to extricate the movie from working with her now because the thought of the movie was quite interesting, very emotional experience to conceive and make, and now that’s all tied up with the fact that Diana is not with us anymore,“Edgar Wrightsaid at a press conference on Saturday promoting the world premiere. “In those situations where it’s desperately sad, I won’t to get to have another gossipy brunch with Diana Rigg. The only thing I can take away from it is like how lucky I was to work with her and know her.”
“In ‘Last Night in Soho,’ our heroineEloise goes on a journey. First from the country to the city, and then to another time,” Wright recently said on Twitter, encouraging viewers not to spoil the movie for others. “I would love the audience to go on that journey too when the film opens on October 29th. We purposely pushed the film back to this autumn date, not just so that it can hopefully be enjoyed on the biggest screen possible, but also so the nights would be longer and the audience could go in cold… literally.”
He added: “Myself and the cast and crew ofLast Night in Sohoare so excited to be premiering at the Venice Film Festival and would love to ask you, our first viewers, to keep the secrets within so that others can discover them later. When writing about the film, we’d love everyone who sees it to discover the story along with Eloise. So, please, if you may, keep the experience intact for future audiences so that what happens inLast Night in Soho, stays in Soho….”
