One of the many films to play at this year’s Toronto International Film Festival was Last Night in Soho. Co-written and directed by Edgar Wright, the psychological thriller is about a young girl (Thomasin McKenzie), interested in fashion design, that can mysteriously enter the 1960s where she encounters a dazzling wannabe singer (Anya Taylor-Joy). While I could say more, this is one of those films that you should watch with as little knowledge as possible about where the film is going. Wright and co-writer Krysty Wilson Cairns have crafted a fantastic thriller that will keep you off-balance and guessing the entire time. Last Night in Soho also stars Matt Smith, Diana Rigg, Terence Stamp, Jessie Mei Li, Rita Tushingham, Michael Ajao, Synnøve Karlsen, and Margaret Nolan.

During the spoiler free interview, Edgar Wright and Krysty Wilson Cairns talk about how they joined up to write the film, where the idea came from, how making this film cured Wright of his time travel fantasy, the way they each complimented each other in the writing process, how Wright originally wanted Anya Taylor-Joy as Eloise and why he switched her to Sandy, why the additional photography helped the movie, what they’re excited for people to see in the film, and more.

Check out what they had to say in the player above and below is exactly what we talked about.
