Wright, meanwhile, promised Empire: “There’s something I have in common with the lead character in that I’m afflicted with nostalgia for a decade I didn’t live in.

“You think about ‘60s London – what would that be like? And the reality of the decade is maybe not what she imagines. It has an element of ‘be careful what you wish for.’”

And, at the Venice Film Festival, Wright explained that he made the film as an homage to the “psychological thrillers I really adore” made by British filmmakers Michael Powell and Alfred Hitchcock and Italian genre directors Mario Bava and Dario Argento.

“I guess I wanted to find a way to sort of make a London version of that,” Wright told Variety. “I actually live around the corner from most of the locations in [Michael Powell’s] Peeping Tom. So it’s something that’s never far from my mind, because it’s something I literally walk past every day.”

However, “It’s dangerous to romanticiae the past,” Wright cautioned.

When can we watch Last Night In Soho?

Wright previously announced that the film had been pushed back from September 2020 to April 2021, explaining that it had been delayed due to the ongoing pandemic. Because of course.

“Haunted by someone else’s past, but we’ll see you in the future,” he said. “It’s true, #LastNightInSoho is not quite finished yet due to Covid-19. But, I’m excited for you all to experience it, at a big screen near you, on 23 April 2021.”
