Hot Fuzz and Shaun of the Dead director Edgar Wright’s Last Night in Soho with Anya Taylor-Joy was set to hit theaters on April 23rd. But today, Wright let us know that it has been pushed back to October.
Wright tweets: “Some news – my new film Last Night in Soho will now be coming out later in the year. I know some of you may be disappointed, but my hope is more of you will be able to experience it as we intended; in the dark, on a big screen, with an audience. See you at the movies…10/22/21.”
Check out his tweet below.
Wright tells Total Film: “The idea for the movie is the result of 25 years of living and working in Soho. I spent so much time looking at the architecture, thinking, ‘What have these walls seen?’ And walking the streets late at night. Soho’s become a lot more gentrified, but it still has that darkness just under the surface. It’s one of those places where you only need to stand still for 60 seconds for something strange or magical or weird or dark to happen.”

Here’s a new rundown on the time-hopping Don’t Look Now meets Rosemary’s Baby flick. In 2019, Eloise (Thomasin McKenzie), a young country girl, arrives in London to pursue her passion for fashion design. Things don’t go great. Meanwhile, in 1965, singer Sandy (Taylor-Joy) similarly discovers the big city’s supposedly gold-paved streets are riven with cracks that can swallow you whole.
Wright says: “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.“
