Edgar Wright Is Bored With ‘Endless Oxygen Taken Up By Talk of Streaming’

Last Night in Soho is finally being released at the end of October. In theaters. It’s the culmination of a long road for the movie’s singular writer-director, Edgar Wright, and one he’s had a hand in personally guiding.

The Best Streaming Service You Don’t Have
