“HOW OFTEN DOES AN ORIGINAL Emma Thompson script show up in your inbox?” That’s the question director Paul Feig found himself asking when the screenplay for Last Christmas—the upcoming romantic comedy co-written by the Oscar winning actress and inspired by the Wham! song—came his way. Feig knew he had to do the film, but he was on a self-imposed tight deadline of, well, last Christmas. “I was hellbent on [shooting] in London before Christmas so we could use all the lights and the decorations that were naturally here,” says Feig. “I finally get to make the love letter to London I’ve always wanted to make.”
