Colin Farrell and Margot Robbie star in the first trailer for "A Big Bold Beautiful Journey," which was released today, Tuesday, June 3.
"What if you could open a doorway and walk through it to re-live a defining moment from your past?" the synopsis of the new Sony Pictures film, due to arrive in theaters on September 19, says.
"Sarah (Margot Robbie) and David (Colin Farrell) are single strangers who meet at a mutual friend’s wedding and soon, through a surprising twist of fate, find themselves on A Big Bold Beautiful Journey – a funny, fantastical, sweeping adventure together where they get to re-live important moments from their respective pasts, illuminating how they got to where they are in the present…and possibly getting a chance to alter their futures."
Kevin Kline and Phoebe Waller-Bridge are featured in the supporting cast of the new movie which was filmed in spring 2024 in Los Angeles.
Dublin native Farrell recently chatted with Vanity Fair about "A Big Bold Beautiful Journey."
“Going from 'The Penguin' to this was quite simply stepping from the darkness into the light,” Farrell said.
“As amazing as it was to work on 'The Penguin,' that story was all about trauma and its various articulations and calcifications.
"This film is all about letting go of trauma—moving past it.”

For the new film, Farrell reunited with his "After Yang" director Kogonada.
“This film is really about reckoning with your past in order to find the possibility of love in the present,” Kogonada told Vanity Fair.
“What do you have to reckon with in order to truly connect with other people? And I think as you get older, you realize your past has everything to do with how you understand love in the present.”
Kogonada said he thought of Farrell early on to star as David in the new film.
“Colin is always carrying it in his eyes," Kogonada said. "You just feel like, Oh, he has endured pain, he’s endured victories in his life."
Farrell, however, also has "something inherently romantic about him as well," Kogonada told Vanity Fair. "He’s a poet by nature. There’s just something about him that I think makes everyone sort of fall in love with him a bit.”
Of filming, Farrell said: “We all arrived with open hearts. It was just easy. Just sharing our lives and our experiences, hopes and fears, joys and sorrows. Not to make it sound like a therapy session, but it was just an amazing experience that changed me for the better.”
