Margot Robbie and Colin Farrell’s "A Big Bold Beautiful Journey" Delayed

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.”
