Colin Farrell and Margot Robbie Embark on a "Big Bold Beautiful Journey" in New Romance Film

Get ready for a dose of magic and emotion! Colin Farrell and Margot Robbie star in "A Big Bold Beautiful Journey," a new romance film from director Kogonada, set to hit theaters on September 19th. This original story promises a unique and captivating experience, following two strangers, Sarah and David, who connect at a wedding and are cosmically guided through doorways to their past memories.

The film marks a significant shift for both leads. Farrell, fresh off his gritty role in the HBO series "The Penguin," describes the project as a move "from the darkness into the light." Robbie, who hasn't been in front of the camera since "Barbie," found the experience immediately comfortable, crediting the story and Kogonada's direction.

Kogonada, known for his critically acclaimed films "Columbus" and "After Yang," was drawn to the project's blend of comedy and romance within an "original context." He was inspired by Hayao Miyazaki's animated films and "The Truman Show," aiming to create a film with artistic integrity that invites everyone in.

The film's supporting cast includes Lily Rabe, Kevin Kline, and Phoebe Waller-Bridge. The film was shot in Los Angeles in spring 2024. The film's score is by Joe Hisaishi, known for his work on Miyazaki's films.

"A Big Bold Beautiful Journey" promises to be an emotional ride, exploring themes of connection, reckoning with the past, and finding love in the present. Both Farrell and Robbie have expressed how the experience of making the film was transformative, fostering a sense of openness and shared experience.
