The Penguin and Barbie stars new futuristic fantasy romance is giving Suzume vibes in first trailer
Margot Robbie and Colin Farrell go through a one-in-a-lifetime journey in A Big Bold Beautiful Journey, which just released a first-look trailer with some serious Suzume vibes. No, Farrell doesn't turn into a talking chair, but there are plenty of magical doors and a romance that feels larger than life.
The trailer, which you can see above, follows Sarah (Robbie) and David (Farrell), two single strangers who meet at a mutual friend's wedding, and feel a connection. "It's funny how the most beautiful places make you feel the most alone," he tells her. "Maybe it just depends on the person you're with," she replies. Thanks to David's magical GPS, they meet again and decide to go on a Big Bold Beautiful Journey.
Per the official synopsis, the film sees them living "a funny, fantastical, sweeping adventure together where they get to re-live important moments from their respective pasts, illuminating how they got to where they are in the present… and possibly getting a chance to alter their futures."
Both Robbie and Farrell had the biggest success of their careers in recent years. Robbie made history as star and producer of the massive box office hit Barbie, while Farrell was nominated for an Oscar for his excellent performance in The Banshees of Inisherin and is now starring in DC's successful series The Penguin.
They are joined in this new movie by Kevin Kline, Lily Rabe, Jodie Turner-Smith, Phoebe Waller-Bridge, and Billy Magnussen.
The film was helmed by The Acolyte director Kogonada, who took inspiration not exactly from Makoto Shinkai's Suzume (despite the magical doors) but from Hayao Miyazaki's movies at Studio Ghibli. "That sort of magical lightness really connects you to our everyday experiences and all the challenges of being human, and is able to do both things at once," he told Vanity Fair.
In fact, he brought on Japanese composer Joe Hisaishi, known for his work on Miyazaki's films, to create the score for the film. "It felt important to lean into the fantastic, but to also ground it in these landscapes," added Kogonada.
Both Robbie and Farrell had the biggest success of their careers in recent years. Robbie made history with Barbie, and Farrell was nominated for an Oscar for The Banshees of Inisherin and is starring in HBO's successful crime series The Penguin.
A Big Bold Beautiful Journey arrives in cinemas on September 19. In the meantime, check our guide for all upcoming movies in 2025 and beyond.

Company in Coldplay 'Kiss Cam' scandal releases Gwyneth Paltrow ad
Gwyneth Paltrow is consciously teaming up with Astronomer. A decade after the "Shakespeare in Love" actress, 52, and Coldplay frontman Chris Martin, 48, announced their "conscious uncoupling," the Oscar winner is lending a hand to the data tech company following a controversy involving its former CEO and HR chief at her ex-husband's concert. In the video released July 25, the "temporary spokesperson" said she was "hired on a very temporary basis to speak on behalf of the 300-plus employees at Astronomer," adding that the company "has gotten a lot of questions over the last few days, and they wanted me to answer the most common ones." Gwyneth Paltrow reveals oddly romantic things Brad Falchuk loves about her Astronomer was thrust into the spotlight earlier this month when a video went viral showing a man and a woman embracing each other before quickly letting go and ducking out of view when a "Kiss Cam" put them in the spotlight at a Coldplay concert at Gillette Stadium in Foxborough, Massachusetts. "Uh oh, what? Either they're having an affair or they're just very shy," Martin quipped at the July 16 concert. But in the newly released clip, text appeared and said, "OMG! What the actual" before Paltrow answered a different question: "Yes, Astronomer is the best place to run Apache Airflow, we've been thrilled so many people have a newfound interest in data automation." "As for the other questions we've received," Paltrow said cheekily as text popped up on screen, "How is your social media team holding" before she again answered a different question. Martin and Paltrow were married from 2003 to 2016 and share two children: 21-year-old Apple Martin and Moses Martin, 19. "We will now be returning to what we do best: delivering game-changing results for our customers," Paltrow said before the video ended. "Thank you for your interest in Astronomer." Astronomer released a statement July 19, on social media platform X and on job networking site LinkedIn, saying that its former CEO "Andy Byron has tendered his resignation, and the Board of Directors has accepted." "As stated previously, Astronomer is committed to the values and culture that have guided us since our founding," Astronomer's statement reads. "Our leaders are expected to set the standard in both conduct and accountability, and recently, that standard was not met." The company's HR chief Kristin Cabot has also reportedly resigned, according to CNBC and BBC. Contributing: Anthony Robledo, Jonathan Limehouse
