Sony Pictures has unveiled the trailer for A Big Bold Beautiful Journey, a romantic fantasy film starring Margot Robbie and Colin Farrell. Directed by Kogonada, the film promises an imaginative take on love and time, described in the official logline as “an imaginative tale of two strangers.”
The ensemble cast includes Jodie Turner-Smith, Lily Rabe, Phoebe Waller-Bridge, and Hamish Linklater. Seth Reiss, known for penning The Menu, serves as the screenwriter. Kogonada, acclaimed for his previous work on Columbus, After Yang, and Apple TV+’s Pachinko, reunites with Farrell and Turner-Smith following their collaboration on After Yang.
In a recent interview with Collider, Farrell said the film explores love through the lens of magical realism. “It’s kind of a love story, but not a very typical one,” he noted. “It’s grounded in a world we recognize, but veers into whimsical, fantastical places.” He also hinted that the story allows characters to revisit pivotal moments from their past, blending memory and fantasy in a unique narrative style.
Behind the scenes, the film is produced by Dan Friedkin, Ryan Friedkin, Youree Henley, Seth Reiss, and Bradley Thomas, with executive producers including Ori Eisen, Gino Falsetto, Ilene Feldman, Paul Mezey, and Kogonada. Noah Simon joins as associate producer.
This project marks Margot Robbie’s first acting role since Barbie (2023). In the interim, she has focused on producing titles such as Saltburn, My Old Ass, and Borderline. She is set to star next in Emerald Fennell’s adaptation of Wuthering Heights opposite Jacob Elordi. Farrell, meanwhile, recently earned a SAG Award for his portrayal of Oz Cobb in HBO’s The Penguin.
A Big Bold Beautiful Journey arrives in theaters on September 19, 2025.
