London: Director Edgar Wright has revealed that his next directorial is based in London.

The English filmmaker said the movie will be a psychological horror-thriller, with a female lead.

"I realised I had never made a film about central London - specifically Soho, somewhere I've spent a huge amount of time in the last 25 years.

"With 'Hot Fuzz' and 'Shaun of the Dead' you make movies about places you've lived in," he told Empire magazine.

Wright and Krysty Wilson-Cairns have co-written the screenplay.

He also confirmed that there is progress on a "Baby Driver" sequel, his most recent film to be released. 

"A first draft of 'Baby Driver 2' exists," he said.

The 2017 blockbuster, starred Ansel Elgort in the title role, who works as a getaway driver. 

The crime action film also starred Kevin Spacey, Lily James, Eiza Gonzalez, Jon Hamm and Jamie Foxx.
