“A Big Bold Beautiful Journey,” a fantasy romance starring Margot Robbie and Colin Farrell, has been acquired by Sony Pictures to be distributed worldwide. A Big Bold Beautiful Journey will be directed by Kogonada, who also helmed the TV series “Pachinko” and the sci-fi drama “After Yang.” Plot details are being kept under wraps, but the film is described as “an imaginative tale of two strangers and the extraordinary emotional journey that connects them.” “A Big Bold Beautiful Journey” marks Robbie’s follow-up role to “Barbie,” which she also produced. Production starts this spring in California.
Tom Rothman, chairman and CEO of Sony Pictures’ Motion Picture Group, said in a statement: “Every once in a great while in this job you read a script so special and original, that you fly to the last page, inspired and uplifted. ‘A Big Bold Beautiful Journey,’ by Seth Reiss, is such a script and together with the superb director Kogonada, the perfect cast of Colin and Margot, and top flight producers Bradley Thomas, Dan Friedkin and Ryan Friedkin, it is a project from heaven. We believe the audience is desperate for originality and we feel honored and grateful to all involved to have won out for it.”
Added Imperative Entertainment, “We are thrilled to partner again with our good friend, Tom Rothman, and the great team at Sony. We are big believers in the theatrical experience, which is Sony’s specialty, and we’re excited Kogonada’s creation will be enjoyed on the big screen.”
