From a wedding to a time-warping road trip, this fall release pairs two strangers on an adventure through memory.
A chance encounter and a helpful GPS lead to a romantic adventure in A Big Bold Beautiful Journey, coming to theaters this September 19, 2025. Directed by Kogonada, this romance fantasy stars Margot Robbie and Colin Farrell as two people brought together in what turns out to be an unexpected journey.

Kogonada’s work has been described as visually poetic and emotionally grounded, especially in films like Columbus and After Yang. His style tends to attract a devoted following, and A Big Bold Beautiful Journey looks like it could follow a similar quiet path to becoming a future favorite—especially for viewers drawn to thoughtful stories about memory, romance, and the passage of time.
What if you could open a doorway and walk through it to re-live a defining moment from your past? Sarah (Robbie) and David (Farrell) are two single strangers who meet at a mutual friend’s wedding.
Thanks to a surprising twist of fate, they find themselves on A Big Bold Beautiful Journey—a funny and magical adventure where they each get the chance to revisit key moments from their past. Along the way, they start to see how those moments shaped where they are now—and maybe even get a shot at changing what’s ahead.

Written by Seth Reiss (The Menu), A Big Bold Beautiful Journey comes from Sony Pictures Entertainment and features a strong supporting cast, each with past roles that show they know how to bring this kind of story to life.
It’s being described as a “funny, fantastical, sweeping adventure,” and based on the cast’s past work, I can see the potential for something really successful. Kevin Kline (A Fish Called Wanda) and Phoebe Waller-Bridge (Killing Eve) both feel like a great fit for something that offers romance, light humor, and a little bit of time-bending magic.
The film also includes Hamish Linklater (Manhunt), Lily Rabe (Shrinking), Billy Magnussen (Made for Love), and Jason Kravits (The Practice). There are more cast members, but these are the ones that stood out to me—they seem to match the tone the filmmakers are going for.

The trailer reminds me of movies like Ghost, City of Angels, and The Lake House—the kind of stories that blend emotion, mystery, and just enough of the impossible to make you lean in. Between the casting, director, and concept, A Big Bold Beautiful Journey feels like one to keep an eye on.
