10 Doomed Upcoming Movies That Could Be Great
2. A Big Bold Beautiful Journey
Word on the street for the new romantic fantasy film A Big Bold Beautiful Journey is all over the map, with reports claiming that the Margot Robbie and Colin Farrell-starring drama has had four rounds of test screenings, each of which has drawn wildly polarised responses.
It certainly points to a film that's going to be anything but a soaring crowd-pleaser, then, and while it may not be the awards player many were hoping for or a storming box office success, that doesn't mean it'll be a bad movie.
The recently dropped first trailer at least suggests a visually stunning, ambitious, and well-acted film, and considering the track record of director Kogonada (Columbus, After Yang), it's reasonable to expect a film that's at least interesting even if it isn't a total home run.
It's also worth keeping in mind that Sony recently moved its release date from May to the more awards-friendly date of September, which could well suggest that they're more optimistic about its awards chances than we've been led to believe.
