Margot Robbie and Colin Farrell-starrer ‘A Big Bold Beautiful Journey’ revolves around a 37-year-old New Yorker named David (Farrell), who embarks on a downstate road trip to attend a wedding in his trusty 1996 Volkswagen Passat, equipped with a peculiar GPS feature. At the event, he crosses paths with Sarah (Robbie), a fellow thirty-something with a tough exterior who leaves David uncertain about her feelings as she pairs off with a groomsman, signaling ambiguity.
As the narrative progresses, David’s GPS offers an intriguing proposition: a “big bold beautiful journey.” He accepts the proposition when his curiosity is piqued, only to find himself at a Burger King, coincidentally joined by Sarah. Over Whoppers, they decide to embark on this enigmatic adventure. Their journey takes them to a museum that doubles as a lighthouse, where they discover their growing affection. Then, they revisit a pivotal moment in David’s past, which paves the way for his heartbreak.
David and Sarah’s saga continues as they explore a painted version of Paris at a Chicago museum. Sarah seizes the opportunity to reconcile with her late mother in a past hospital visit. The GPS catapults them into a future where they are married, offering them a glimpse of their potential happiness. Returning to the present, David and Sarah must choose whether to continue their journey in the real world as two guarded souls facing a profound decision.
The shooting of the movie will begin in the Californian cities of Ventura and Riverside in the coming spring.
