Edgar Wright’s "dazzling" 澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:Last Night in Soho recently premiered at the Venice film festival, and it marks something of a change of pace for the celebrated British director behind 澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:Shaun of the Dead and 澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:Baby Driver.
His latest feature – following hot on the heels of his music documentary 澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:The Sparks Brothers – plays out over dual timelines. In the present day, fashion student Eloise (Thomasin McKenzie) h🍌eads to London, but in her dreams she’s intoxicated by visions of singer Sandie (Anya Taylor-Joy), w൲ho was exploring the same Soho locations in the 1960s.
In the new issue of the magazine, goes on set of Wright’s long-gestating passion project – which he co-scripted with Krysty Wilson-Cairns – to delve deep into the mystery. Below, you can see some exclusive imagery featured in the magazine, with McKenzie and ♍Taylor-Joy photographed by Frank Ockenfels in a neon-drenched shoot. There’s also an exclusive still from the film featuring McKenzie’s Eloise. Check them out below:
Wright has been✱ sitting on the idea of Last Night in Soho for almost a decade, letting it quietly percolate as he made The World’s End and Baby Driver. The movie in his head offered him the chance to embrace his love of horror, most notably psychological, emotional genre films like Repulsion and Don’t Look Now, and, equally importantly, British dramas of the 1960s.
. "And there’s a particular subgen🍷re of these cautionary-tale movies, usually written by men, which are about women coming to the big city, and wanting to be a star, and being roundly punished for the temerity of wanting to succeed."Taylor-Joy was originally lined up to play Eloise, though by the time the film entered production, it was clear that she was 𒁏a better fit for Sandie. "Anya is such a chameleon," says Wright. "There’s what she’s like on film, and then also what she’s like when you see her in a fashion spread or on a red carpet."
For M𒆙cKenzie, soaking up ’60s cinema was only one aspect of the research for Eloise. "I was constantly listening to the film’s playlist, and w🎉hen I was still in Wellington, I spent a lot of time with one of the head teachers at the fashion school," she tells . "She taught me how to sew, and how to sketch different designs. I made a couple of clothing items, and did a lot of drawing in my Ellie notebook."
Last Night i꧂n Soho will play as a Headline Gala at the BFI London Film Festival on October 9, 🌃before opening in cinemas in the UK and US on October 29.
