Two of Hollywood’s most versatile actors, Colin Farrell and Margot Robbie, are teaming up for an upcoming romantic drama, A Big Bold Beautiful Journey. Slated for release on September 19, 2025, the film promises a poignant look at love, loneliness, and self-discovery.
Directed by acclaimed filmmaker Kogonada, the movie follows David (played by Farrell) and Sarah (played by Robbie), two emotionally distant individuals who cross paths at a wedding and embark on a life-changing journey together.
Colin Farrell Calls His Character a Man in “Midlife Haze”
Known for his intense performances in films like The Banshees of Inisherin and his portrayal of the Penguin in DC’s The Batman universe, Colin Farrell is taking a different route with this character.
In a recent interview, the Irish actor shared insight into his role, describing David as emotionally withdrawn and directionless:
“It’s a little Dickens,” he said, adding, “He’s just living in a certain degree of apathy. He’s moving through life in something of a midlife haze.”
The character’s quiet complexity and gradual transformation are expected to be a standout in Farrell’s already impressive filmography.
Margot Robbie Feels a Personal Connection to Her Role
Margot Robbie, best known for high-energy roles like Harley Quinn in the Suicide Squad franchise and her recent turn in Barbie, revealed that playing Sarah felt more personal than many of her past performances.
“I saw a lot of things in Sarah that I could see in myself — not necessarily good things,” Robbie confessed during an interview with Empire.
“It was a little more exposing to play a character like Sarah.”
Unlike the exaggerated personas she’s embodied before, Sarah allowed Robbie to explore raw, vulnerable emotions — something she described as both challenging and refreshing.
A Love Story Rooted in Real Emotion
Backed by Sony Pictures, A Big Bold Beautiful Journey is set to be more than just a typical romantic comedy. With Kogonada’s signature emotional depth and poetic storytelling, the film promises a heartfelt narrative about finding connection in unlikely moments.
Robbie and Farrell’s on-screen chemistry, paired with their introspective portrayals, already has fans eager to see what this unexpected pairing will deliver.
Final Thoughts
As A Big Bold Beautiful Journey prepares for its 2025 release, early buzz suggests it could become one of the year’s most emotionally resonant films. With two powerhouse performers embracing such personal roles, audiences can expect a movie that’s as vulnerable as it is beautiful.
