Elizabeth Olsen faces a pivotal choice in the trailer for the upcoming A24 film “Eternity.” The romantic comedy, directed by David Freyne, features a talented cast including Miles Teller and Callum Turner, and is set to premiere at the Toronto International Film Festival before its theatrical release in November. The film also stars John Early, Olga Merediz, and Academy Award winner Da’Vine Joy Randolph.
“Eternity” presents a unique premise: in an afterlife scenario, souls have one week to decide their eternal destination. After her death, Joan, portrayed by Olsen, finds herself torn between two significant figures from her past—her lifelong partner, Larry (Teller), and her first love, Luke (Turner), who passed away many years ago. The trailer showcases Olsen’s character grappling with her overwhelming options, stating, “A lot has happened in a week. You died. I died. I’ve just been reunited with both of my dead husbands, and I have to pick where to spend eternity.”
The film’s script, co-written by Freyne and Pat Cunnane, gained recognition by appearing on the Black List in 2022, highlighting its strong story foundation. Producers Tim White and Trevor White join Freyne in bringing this intriguing narrative to life.
Olsen has previously described “Eternity” as “real fun” and noted its influence from classic Billy Wilder films, expressing excitement about its unique take on romance and the comedy genre. With its blend of existential themes and romantic dilemmas, “Eternity” aims to resonate with audiences, promising a special viewing experience.
This film represents a hopeful exploration of love, choices, and the complexities of human connections, set against an imaginative backdrop. Fans of romantic comedies and those intrigued by original storytelling are likely to anticipate its release.
