Because of Patrick Stewart, I can never see a pug without being seized by the urge to scoop it up in my arms and roar "LONG LIVE DUKE LETO!" as I charge into battle.

Last Night in Soho’ turns 5 today. To celebrate this mini-milestone, here’s some concept art for Marcus Rowland’s amazing production design on the movie. This art was done by a talented human, Mr Paul Threadgold.
You can see how we turned Goodge Place back to the ’60s, how we created the period Café de Paris on a soundstage, the fictitious Rialto club, an unnamed basement clip joint, and how we sent stretches of Greek, Frith and Bateman Streets in real Soho back in time.
It’s been so lovely to read some of your comments on ‘Last Night in Soho’ this week. I remain very proud of the movie, both for the realization of some ambitious worlds and for the wonderful time I spent with this cast and crew.
Those of you who saw it on the big screen when it was first released, I applaud you, especially with in the middle of an Omicron spike. But I do not begrudge anyone who came to it later, either. New viewers are always welcome. You can’t be late to a movie.
Happy 5th, ‘Last Night in Soho’. See you in the Toucan for a pint of Numbers. @lastnightinsoho

Essentially disowned by Cassavetes, sure, but is there a chance this discourse can rekindle love for the greatest spit-take of all time? #SardineLiqueur
OK, I'll bite. If John Cassavetes is so insanely influential and brilliant, why have I not heard about him until recently?
I've been on a side-quest with classic and esoteric movies, mostly through the Criterion collection. I've watched dozens of Criterion closet picks from filmmakers and actors I admire.
They pick Cassavetes films ALL THE TIME. Probably more than any other director except Scorsese. I haven't seen a single Cassavetes film. I don't think I've ever heard anyone talk about a Cassavetes film outside of those videos.
I'm not a slouch on film, I've got a pretty wide spread on what I've seen & what I appreciate. How has Cassavetes slipped through that net so completely for so long?
Peter Medak, RIP, making SPECIES II (but see THE RULING CLASS, THE CHANGELING, ZORRO, THE GAY BLADE, THE KRAYS, LET HIM HAVE IT or ROMEO IS BLEEDING instead).

Here are some behind-the-scenes photos from LAST NIGHT IN SOHO to celebrate its 5th anniversary this week. All stills by the great Parisa Taghizadeh.
Watching the film again on Sunday night was a powerful trip down memory lane in a number of ways. It made me think of the incredible cast and crew: we worked so hard, but had a lot of fun too. It also made me think of a different London—not just the London of the 1960s, but a pre-Covid capital, as we made the film just before (and partly during) the pandemic.
And of course, it made me think of two actors who are no longer with us: Dame Diana Rigg and Terence Stamp. Both legends, and both people I feel honoured to have known and have worked with.
The greatness of Michael Gothard in THE DEVILS got me to revisit the very oddball SCREAM AND SCREAM AGAIN in which he plays a mysterious serial killer. It’s a film that almost seems designed to annoy, which I’ve always liked about it.
This is a fantastic lineup but one film you should definitely go see if you haven't is PETER IBBETSON.

'Last Night In Soho' turns 5 this week. I'll post some behind the scenes photos in the next few days. But enjoy this breakdown of the 'Cafe De Paris' dance sequence with Anya Taylor Joy, Thomasin McKenzie and Matt Smith, choreographed by the great Jennifer White. Too many amazing people worked on this film with me, and there are sequences (like this) that I'm insanely proud of. Shoutouts to Marcus Rowland for this incredible set, the genius DOP Chung-Hoon Chung, our amazing VFX supervisor Tom Proctor and, in this scene especially, the magnificent camera operator Chris Bain. Enjoy and more soon! @lastnightinsohomovie @focusfeatures @FictionComplete @workingtitlefilms
