Edgar Wright’s horror-psychological thriller Last Night in Soho has just released its first teaser trailer, ahead of the film’s UK theatre release October 29th.

Wright directed Last Night In Soho from a script he co-wrote with Penny Dreadful writer Krysty Wilson-Cairns, and will star Anya Taylor-Joy (The Witch, Glass, The New Mutants), Thomasin McKenzie (Jojo Rabbit), and Matt Smith (Doctor Who).

The London-set, time-bending horror will follow young, wannabe fashion designer Eloise (McKenzie) as she mysteriously travels back in time and meets Sandy (Taylor-Joy), a glamorous singer and wannabe star living in 1966.

Also amongst the cast are Diana Rigg, Terence Stamp, Rita Tushingham, Michael Ajao, and Jessie Mei Li, who recently rose to global recognition for their lead role in Netflix’s Shadow and Bone. Both Rigg and Margaret Nolan sadly passed shortly after production ended, making this their last film appearance.

Wright’s previous directing credits include such cult classics as Shaun of the Dead, Hot Fuzz, Scott Pilgrim vs. the World, and Baby Driver. The writer-director explained in an interview with Empire Magazine that “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.”
