Margot Robbie and Colin Farrell start as strangers mystically reunited to time-travel into their separate pasts together in the trailer for A Big Bold Beautiful Journey.
Seemingly a subtle romance with a sci-fi bent, the trailer begins with Robbie as Sarah and Farrell as David meeting as two singles at a wedding (Farrell gets to retain his Irish accent, which, at one point, Sarah makes fun of). However, after they’ve parted ways, David’s GPS coaxes him back to Sarah and leads them to a door in the woods where they can enter each other’s formative memories together. The Kogonada-directed A Big Bold Beautiful Journey was written by Seth Reiss.
Set for release this September, the movie marks Robbie’s return to the big screen following her leading role in 2023’s massive blockbuster, Barbie. Earning more than $1.4 billion worldwide, Barbie was the highest grossing film of the year. A Big Bold Beautiful Journey is also Farrell’s first film since he played the titular villain in HBO’s The Penguin, winning a Golden Globe and Critics Choice Award.
In an interview with Rolling Stone, Barbie writer-director Greta Gerwig praised Robbie’s standout performance in the film. “And it’s crazy because she’s playing a doll, and yet it’s such an exquisitely human performance,” said Gerwig. “It’s not something where you can stick the landing. It was something where she had to just allow it to happen. She’s a person who can stick landings — and I think it was finding another gear inside of her.”
