Watch: Trailer out for 'Big Bold Beautiful Journey', starring Margot Robbie and Colin Farrell
Sony Pictures has unveiled the trailer for A Big Bold Beautiful Journey, a romantic fantasy film starring Margot Robbie and Colin Farrell. Directed by Kogonada, the film promises an imaginative take on love and time, described in the official logline as 'an imaginative tale of two strangers.'
The ensemble cast includes Jodie Turner-Smith, Lily Rabe, Phoebe Waller-Bridge, and Hamish Linklater. Seth Reiss, known for penning The Menu, serves as the screenwriter. Kogonada, acclaimed for his previous work on Columbus, After Yang, and Apple TV+'s Pachinko, reunites with Farrell and Turner-Smith following their collaboration on After Yang.
In a recent interview with Collider, Farrell said the film explores love through the lens of magical realism. 'It's kind of a love story, but not a very typical one,' he noted. 'It's grounded in a world we recognize, but veers into whimsical, fantastical places.' He also hinted that the story allows characters to revisit pivotal moments from their past, blending memory and fantasy in a unique narrative style.
Behind the scenes, the film is produced by Dan Friedkin, Ryan Friedkin, Youree Henley, Seth Reiss, and Bradley Thomas, with executive producers including Ori Eisen, Gino Falsetto, Ilene Feldman, Paul Mezey, and Kogonada. Noah Simon joins as associate producer.
This project marks Margot Robbie's first acting role since Barbie (2023). In the interim, she has focused on producing titles such as Saltburn, My Old Ass, and Borderline. She is set to star next in Emerald Fennell's adaptation of Wuthering Heights opposite Jacob Elordi. Farrell, meanwhile, recently earned a SAG Award for his portrayal of Oz Cobb in HBO's The Penguin.
A Big Bold Beautiful Journey arrives in theaters on September 19, 2025.

Russell Simmons sues HBO for $20M over defamation in documentary
Russell Simmons has filed a $20 million defamation lawsuit against HBO, Warner Bros. Discovery, and the filmmakers of the 2020 documentary On the Record. The lawsuit, submitted in Manhattan Supreme Court, alleges the film damaged his reputation and business interests by presenting a biased narrative that ignored critical exculpatory evidence. Simmons, a pioneer of hip-hop culture and co-creator of HBO's Def Comedy Jam and Def Poetry, claims the filmmakers and network disregarded CIA-grade polygraph test results, supportive interviews, and statements that could have cast doubt on the allegations of sexual misconduct featured in the film. The lawsuit names former HBO CEO John Stankey, and directors Amy Ziering and Kirby Dick, accusing them of engaging in deceptive business practices, causing emotional distress, and violating his legal rights. Simmons is demanding at least $20 million in damages and the immediate removal of On the Record from HBO and all affiliated platforms. His legal team argues that continued streaming of the documentary constitutes a 'republication' of defamatory content, further harming Simmons' reputation. Despite confidential settlements with some accusers, Simmons maintains his innocence, stating he never had a non-consensual or unlawful sexual encounter. The lawsuit also mentions that prominent civil rights leaders and members of Congress urged the filmmakers to consider additional evidence, but their appeals were allegedly ignored. Simmons says the international distribution of the documentary has amplified the damage to his name. The film premiered at Sundance Film Festival in January 2020 and was later released on HBO Max. Before its debut, Oprah Winfrey stepped down as executive producer, citing inconsistencies in the featured stories. Simmons continues to deny all allegations made against him, asserting his legal battle is about restoring his name and legacy.

'Game of Thrones' star Liam Cunningham sets sail for Gaza
Both public figures have been vocal in their solidarity with Palestine. Photos: file Irish actor Liam Cunningham, 64, famous for playing Davos Seaworth in HBO's Game of Thrones series, has announced that he will be joining 11 activists in their attempt to break the Israeli siege on Gaza. Cunningham has been vocal in his support for Palestine since the Israeli bombings began in 2023, and he is joined in the cause by Greta Thunberg, a renowned Swedish climate activist. Member of the European Parliament Rima Hassan will also be accompanying the group. The group set sail on Sunday on the boat Madleen, operated by the Freedom Flotilla Coalition (FFC). The journey is expected to take seven days if they are not hindered. As reported previously by Al Jazeera, the Freedom Flotilla Coalition had attempted to sail the vessel Conscience in early May, but it was attacked by Israeli drones while passing through Maltese waters. Cunningham has been documenting and sharing their progress on social media. According to a press release by the FFC, the boat is named Madleen after Gaza's first and only fisherwoman in 2014, symbolising the "unyielding spirit of Palestinian resilience and the growing global resistance to Israel's use of collective punishment and deliberate starvation policies." In a press release on the UN Office of Human Rights Commission website, experts called for safe passage for the Freedom Flotilla Coalition's ship carrying essential aid supplies to Gaza. They expressed concern for Israel's disregard for international laws and its constant attacks on humanitarian aid workers. "Aid is desperately needed for the people of Gaza to forestall annihilation, and this initiative is a symbolic and powerful effort to deliver it. Israel should remember that the world is watching closely and refrain from any act of hostility against the Freedom Flotilla Coalition and its passengers," the experts said. "The people of Gaza have the right to receive aid through their own territorial waters even under occupation, and the Coalition ship has the right to free passage in international waters to reach the people of Gaza," they said. "Israel must not interfere with its freedom of navigation, long recognised under international law." Call for solidarity Another Irish supporter of Palestine who made news this week is the Irish MMA Fighter Paddy McCorry, who shouted "Free Palestine" while tackling his Israeli opponent, Shuki Farage, in an act of solidarity with Gaza on Saturday. This event happened at the Cage Warriors 189 event in Rome, Italy, where he also raised the Palestinian Flag after his win. He shared the viral clip of this win and captioned it "Street justice". According to the UN World Food Program, more than 70,000 children and 17,000 women in Gaza need urgent treatment for acute malnutrition. They state on their website that "more than 116,000 metric tons of food assistance – enough to feed 1 million people for up to 4 months – is ready to be brought into Gaza if the blockade is lifted." Earlier, actors, musicians, activists and other public figures wrote a letter calling on Prime Minister Keir Starmer to "end the UK's complicity in the horrors in Gaza". British-Albanian pop sensation Dua Lipa has been vocal about the war in Gaza and last year criticised Israel's offensive as a "genocide". Other signatories include actors Benedict Cumberbatch, Tilda Swinton and Riz Ahmed, and musicians Paloma Faith, Annie Lennox and Massive Attack.
