After being bumped all around the release calendar, Edgar Wright‘s (Shaun of the Dead, Baby Driver) new psychological horror movie Last Night in Soho (read Joe’s review) is finally on the way soon, being released in theaters by Focus Features on October 29. While you wait, an absolutely gorgeous new piece of marketing has been released, and it’s a special one.
In the video you’ll find below, star Anya Taylor-Joy covers the classic Petula Clark song “Downtown,” which has been heavily featured in the previous trailers for Wright’s new movie.
Taylor-Joy’s cover will be featured on the movie’s official soundtrack (up for pre-order now), and the music video includes clips from the movie alongside her performance. Enjoy.
Last Night in Soho takes us back to London’s Soho district during the Swinging Sixties, with Thomasin McKenzie starring as a fashion designer who uncovers a murder from the past. The victim? Anya Taylor-Joy‘s Sandie, a singer from the ’60s.
In the film, “Eloise, an aspiring fashion designer, is mysteriously able to enter the 1960s where she encounters a dazzling wannabe singer, Sandie. 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.”
Wright wrote the script with Krysty Wilson-Cairns (“Penny Dreadful”).
