Colin Farrell’s remarkable career evolution continues as he partners with Margot Robbie in the eagerly awaited fantasy romance A BIG BOLD BEAUTIFUL JOURNEY, which recently showcased its first trailer at CinemaCon in Las Vegas. The Irish actor, who has been enjoying critical acclaim for his transformative performance in THE PENGUIN, is poised to charm audiences in this imaginative tale directed by South Korean-American filmmaker Kogonada.
The intriguing trailer, unveiled on March 31 as part of Sony Pictures’ presentation, reveals Farrell as a man who receives an unusual question from his GPS: “Would you like to go on a big bold, beautiful journey?” After accepting, he’s directed to reconnect with a woman he previously met at a wedding, played by Robbie. Their encounter leads them through a mysterious door in a forest, transporting them into his high school memories and setting them on an emotional voyage through their most cherished and painful life moments.
At 48, Farrell’s career has experienced a remarkable renaissance in recent years. His versatility has allowed him to seamlessly transition between character-driven roles and mainstream projects, establishing him as one of Hollywood’s most respected actors. Kogonada, who previously directed the acclaimed sci-fi drama AFTER YANG and the series PACHINKO, praised Farrell and Robbie as “two extraordinary stars at the peak of their craft who light up the screen together.”
The film’s release has recently been rescheduled from May to September 19, 2025, with Sony executives believing this timing will allow the female-centered event film to stand out in a schedule dominated by horror and male-focused titles. The stellar supporting cast includes Lily Rabe, Jodie Turner-Smith, Phoebe Waller-Bridge, and Hamish Linklater, with a score by Joe Hisashi, the celebrated composer known for his work with Hayao Miyazaki.
For Robbie, this marks her return to the big screen following her cultural phenomenon BARBIE, while for Farrell, it represents another fascinating choice in a career that continues to defy expectations and showcase his remarkable range as a performer. The film, which Sony motion picture group chairman Tom Rothman called “a project from heaven,” seems poised to be both a critical and commercial success when it hits theaters next year.
