- Story Text: "The Queen's Gambit" star Anya Taylor-Joy was pretty in pink on Saturday (September 4) as walked the Venice Film Festival red carpet for the world premiere of her new movie "Last Night in Soho".
The psychological thriller is directed by British film-maker Edgar Wright and also stars "The Crown" and "Doctor Who" actor Matt Smith and Thomasin McKenzie ("Jojo Rabbit", "Leave No Trace").
The film, premiering out of competition at the Venice Film Festival on Saturday, follows Eloise (McKenzie), a student enamoured with the 1960s who heads to London from the countryside intent on becoming a fashion designer.
But her dream fast turns into a neon-drenched nightmare as she finds herself transported back to the decade and inhabiting the life of Sandie, an aspiring singer played by Taylor-Joy.
Wright, who started working on the idea more than a decade ago, called the film a "dark valentine to Soho", the central London area where most of the action takes place.
