Margot Robbie and Colin Farrell's "A Big Bold Beautiful Journey" Delayed
Yara Sameh
The Sony Pictures release of the Margot Robbie and Colin Farrell-led romantic fantasy 'A Big Bold Beautiful Journey,' is heading to September 19 this year instead of May 9.
Sources close to the production say that a September release was more appealing to the studio, as it's filled with more horror and male-centered titles, allowing the female event movie to stand out.
'A Big Bold Beautiful Journey' is described as 'an imaginative tale of two strangers and the extraordinary emotional journey that connects them.'
Lily Rabe, Jodie Turner-Smith, Phoebe Waller-Bridge, and Hamish Linklater also star.
The movie is directed by Kogonada, who also helmed the TV series 'Pachinko' and the sci-fi drama 'After Yang.' 'The Menu' scribe Seth Reiss penned the script.
30West is financing 'A Big Bold Beautiful Journey,' with Sony Pictures releasing the film in theaters globally.
It is produced by Imperative Entertainment's Bradley Thomas and Ryan Friedkin, Seth Reiss and Youree Henley. Executive producers are Kogonada, Ilene Feldman and Ori Eisen.
After Sony Pictures acquire the movie in a bidding war in February 2024 at the European Film Market in Berlin, the studio's motion picture group chairman Tom Rothman described it as 'a project from heaven.'

Zoë Kravitz in Talks to Direct Movie "How To Save A Marriage"
Yara Sameh Following her directorial debut on "Blink Twice", Zoë Kravitz looks to have found her next gig. Kravitz is in talks to direct "How to Save a Marriage" for Sony Pictures. Ross Evans penned the script, and Robert Pattinson is producing with partner Brighton McCloskey via their Icki Eneo Arlo banner along with Geoff Shaevitz and Evan Silverberg via Entertainment 360. Plot details are being kept under wraps, and studio sources say the project is still in early development. Evans will also exec produce. As of now, Pattinson, who starred with Kravitz in 2022's "The Batman", is only producing the pic. Sony is high on the project and was aggressive in pursuing it when it hit the market last year. The deal marked a huge sale to a major studio for Evans and at the time showed studios' interest in high-profile packages following the WGA and SAG-AFTRA strikes. While plot details are unknown, sources say Marriage has edgy undertones similar to "Blink Twice" that made that film work, and helped inform the execs' decision to tap Kravitz as director. While still busy on the acting front, she showcased her helming talent with the thriller, released in August 2024 and starring Naomi Ackie and Channing Tatum. The Amazon MGM Studios film earned strong reviews and put Kravitz on the map as a director. On the acting front, Kravitz can be seen next opposite Austin Butler in the Darren Aronofsky thriller "Caught Stealing", which bows this fall. read more New Tourism Route To Launch in Old Cairo Ahmed El Sakka-Led Play 'Sayidati Al Jamila' to Be Staged in KSA on Dec. 6 Mandy Moore Joins Season 2 of "Dr. Death" Anthology Series Don't Miss These Movies at 44th Cairo Int'l Film Festival Today Amr Diab to Headline KSA's MDLBEAST Soundstorm 2022 Festival Arts & Culture Mai Omar Stuns in Latest Instagram Photos Arts & Culture "The Flash" to End with Season 9 Arts & Culture Ministry of Culture Organizes four day Children's Film Festival Arts & Culture Canadian PM wishes Muslims Eid-al-Adha News Egypt confirms denial of airspace access to US B-52 bombers News Ayat Khaddoura's Final Video Captures Bombardment of Beit Lahia Lifestyle Pistachio and Raspberry Cheesecake Domes Recipe News Australia Fines Telegram $600,000 Over Terrorism, Child Abuse Content Arts & Culture Nicole Kidman and Keith Urban's $4.7M LA Home Burglarized Videos & Features Bouchra Dahlab Crowned Miss Arab World 2025 ..
