Margot Robbie and Colin Farrell light up the screen in a romantic new trailer for A Big Bold Beautiful Journey, directed by Kogonada. The film is slated for a wide release on September 19.
In the newly released trailer, Robbie’s Sarah and Farrell’s David are two single strangers who meet at a mutual friend’s wedding. A twist of fate sends them on an unexpected journey together, during which they relive pivotal moments from their pasts. The trailer hints that these memories could illuminate how they arrived at their present and perhaps offer a chance to alter their futures.
Farrell describes the film as a “heart opener” that isn’t afraid to explore the more painful aspects of life and love, but remains oriented toward light. He says he hopes audiences leave with a sense of hope and a greater reflection on their own lives.
Robbie, making her first film appearance since Barbie, calls A Big Bold Beautiful Journey a “visual spectacle” that is “beautiful and magical and surreal and incredibly romantic.” She praises Kogonada as a true artist and says she’s long wanted to work with Farrell, calling him unbelievable.
The cast also includes Kevin Kline and Phoebe Waller-Bridge. Farrell notes that working with Robbie was a dream from start to finish, praising her unique magic and the joyful energy she brings to the set.
Kogonada, who previously collaborated with Farrell on the 2021 sci‑fi drama After Yang, brings a story that Farrell describes as filled with hope, forgiveness, and the healing of past hurts—whether in career or relationships. The film promises a transformative arc as the characters confront their histories and aim for a freer future.
A Big Bold Beautiful Journey arrives in theaters on September 19, with Robbie’s and Farrell’s fans particularly eager to see how the film blends romance, memory, and luminous visuals into what a press description frames as a hopeful cinematic experience. Summary: a starry romantic drama about two strangers who connect, revisit their pasts, and seek a brighter path forward, guided by strong performances and a visually rich directorial touch.
