Trailer drops for new romantic comedy featuring Colin Farrell and Margot Robbie
It traces the chance meeting of David (Colin Farrell) and Sarah (Margot Robbie), single strangers, who meet at a mutual friend's wedding. "It's funny how the most beautiful places make you feel the most alone,' Farrell's character says to Robbie at the wedding, as seen in the trailer. She replies by saying: 'Maybe it depends on who you are with.' Both believe they cannot or will not be loved and choose to head on a 'big, bold, and beautiful journey' facilitated through a magical GPS. After the wedding, David and Sarah, brought together unintentionally by their car's GPS systems, take a road trip down memory lane, accessed through magical doors, where they relive all of their past failed relationships. The trailer shows both Farrell and Robbie visiting Farrell's high school, in a moment when he told a girl that he loved her but she does not reciprocate. "It feels just like it felt back then,' Farrell's character says to Robbie. Her character goes back to visit her mother, who she said she misses. It has been described as a 'funny, fantastical, sweeping adventure' where they get to re-live important moments from their respective pasts. Audiences will learn how they got to where they are in the present and 'possibly getting a chance to alter their futures'. The film, which releases in Irish cinemas on September 19, also features American star Kevin Kline and English actress Phoebe Waller-Bridge. It was written by Seth Reiss, also known for the 2022 movie The Menu, which stars Ralph Fiennes, Anya Taylor Joy and Nicholas Hoult. The rom-com is directed by Kogonada, who is known for Columbus (2017), After Yang (2021) and Pachinko (2022). Dubliner Farrell is is just off the back of playing a mobster in HBO's The Penguin which won him the IFTA Award for Lead Actor in a Drama.

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.

Beloved local family diner closing after nearly 40 years
I love the Hulu show "The Bear." And considering the show has won multiple Emmys and Golden Globes and been renewed for a fourth season, I know I'm not alone. There is nothing like a good restaurant drama, even though they all make working in a kitchen look like utter hell. "Burnt" - the film inspired by the life of Anthony Bourdain and his troubled past - the satirical "The Menu," or the British series "Boiling Point" ... all of these shows depict restaurant work as stressful, chaotic, and rife with mean people. The restaurant business is so notoriously difficult that it's a wonder new restaurants open at all, especially considering the thin profit margins they generate. In today's climate, with all of the elements necessary to run a restaurant - food costs, rent, transportation, labor - getting more expensive by the day, restaurant closings seem to be happening with the same frequency as restaurant openings. Image source: Siamionau Pavel for Shutterstock While we often think of fine dining spots in big cities or celebrity chef ventures as the most at-risk, independent neighborhood restaurants, even the successful ones, face their own pressures. This makes the closure of Rick & Ann's Restaurant, a beloved family spot in Berkeley, all the more bittersweet. The East Bay institution, in the shadow of the historic Claremont Hotel, will serve its last meal on August 3, 2025, ending a 36-year run, as reported in the San Francisco Chronicle. Known for its comforting brunch fare, friendly staff, and loyal customer base, Rick & Ann's has been a cornerstone of the Berkeley dining scene since 1989. Founded by Ann Lauer and her late partner Rick DeBeaugrine, the restaurant quickly became a go-to destination for breakfast and brunch, drawing customers from across the Bay Area and beyond. Related: Iconic Las Vegas Strip eatery permanently closes after long run Menu staples like red flannel hash, potato-cheese pancakes, and gluten-free coffee cakes were perennial favorites. Over the years, the restaurant became known not just for its food, but also for its hospitality. Diners were greeted by name, and many of the staff had been with the restaurant for decades. In August 1997, a local food critic wrote that the restaurant "maintains the feeling of someone's home." The warm, casual vibe - paired with its proximity to UC Berkeley and the Claremont - helped Rick & Ann's become a fixture for college students, families, out-of-towners, and the occasional celebrity guest. Alicia Keys reportedly dined there. So did Guy Fieri. In an interview with Berkeleyside, Lauer explained that she's ready to retire and that the restaurant's lease is up. Rather than try to renew or relocate, she's chosen to end on a high note. Rick & Ann's weathered the pandemic, staffing shortages, rising food costs, and the grief of losing co-founder DeBeaugrine in 2020. Through it all, the restaurant remained consistent and deeply loved by the community. While Rick & Ann's is winding down, Lauer is not stepping away from food entirely. Her catering company, Ann's Catering, will continue and is building a new commercial kitchen to handle growing demand. More Food: Applebee's brings back all-you-can-eat deal to take down Chili'sPopular Mexican chain reveals surprising growth plansStarbucks CEO shares plan for a whole new menu For longtime customers, the announcement has been met with sadness and nostalgia. Generations of Berkeley families have celebrated birthdays, graduations, holidays, and weekend rituals at Rick & Ann's. "This place is a part of our family," one customer wrote on social media. "We've been coming since the '90s. It won't be the same without it." Related: Iconic Las Vegas Strip eatery permanently closes after long run Rick & Ann's isn't the only longtime restaurant to close in recent months. In San Francisco, the iconic Fog City closed in May 2025 after 40 years. Las Vegas has seen two celebrity-chef eateries close recently. And on a national scale, chains like Red Lobster and TGI Fridays have shuttered dozens of locations amid bankruptcies and declining foot traffic. According to the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics, just 34.6% of restaurants survive more than 10 years, as reported on So for an independent business to last nearly four decades - and go out on its own terms - is a rare achievement. Fans still have a few months to stop by and say goodbye: The restaurant's final day of service is set for August 3.
