Andrew Garfield and Florence Pugh’s new romantic drama, We Live In Time, has left fans emotional after the release of its trailer. Directed by John Crowley, the film follows the love story of Almut (played by Florence) and Tobias (played by Andrew) as they navigate a 10-year relationship filled with challenges imposed by time limits. The trailer showcases snapshots of their life together, from falling in love to creating a family, but a heartbreaking truth threatens to shake the foundation of their relationship to its core.
Fans took to Twitter to express their overwhelming emotions after watching the trailer. Many mentioned that they were already in tears and feared for their emotional state once the film hits theaters on October 11. Comparisons were drawn to the iconic 2010s romance film, The Fault In Our Stars, starring Shailene Woodley and Ansel Elgort, which also dealt with themes of love and heartbreak in the face of adversity.
The trailer for We Live In Time portrays the unexpected meeting of Almut and Tobias, who eventually fall in love and start a family. However, their happiness is shattered when Almut receives a devastating diagnosis. Fans anticipate that the film will strike a balance between love, joy, and grief, with the trailer hinting at the emotional rollercoaster that awaits viewers.
Last year, Andrew Garfield and Florence Pugh caused a stir in Orpington, Kent, while filming scenes for the movie, leading to traffic chaos in the area. Fans gathered to catch a glimpse of the behind-the-scenes action, with one scene showing Florence appearing to go into labor. The film’s storyline is set to captivate audiences with its unconventional love story and poignant moments.
We Live In Time is scheduled to premiere at the Toronto International Film Festival in September. At the 2023 Cannes Film Festival, the movie was acquired by A24 for U.S. distribution after being sold by StudioCanal. The screenplay, penned by Nick Payne, promises to deliver a compelling narrative that will tug at the heartstrings of viewers.
With Benedict Cumberbatch serving as an executive producer through SunnyMarch, alongside Leah Clarke, Adam Ackland, and Guy Heeley, We Live In Time is poised to be a must-watch for fans of romantic dramas. While an official UK release date is yet to be announced, the anticipation surrounding the film continues to grow as fans eagerly await its premiere in theaters.
