It’s the British romantic dramedy event of the year.
On Wednesday, A24 released the trailer for “We Live in Time,” a moments-in-life romance film starring Academy Award nominees Andrew Garfield (“Tick, Tick…Boom!”) and Florence Pugh (“Little Women”).
The film, which is directed by BAFTA winner John Crowley (“Brooklyn”) and written by Tony nominee Nick Payne (“Constellations”), follows Almut (Pugh) and Tobias (Garfield) through major moments in their lives together, from their painful meet-cute (Almut hits Tobias with her car) to raising their daughter to Almut being treated for cancer. It appears to be a stylish tearjerker powered by the charisma of two of contemporary film’s most emotionally vulnerable actors.
If you’ve ever lamented that they don’t make movies like “About Time” anymore, this one is for you.
In addition to Garfield and Pugh, the cast includes Adam James, Marama Corlett, and Aoife Hinds. Leah Clarke, Adam Ackland, Guy Heeley are producers, and Benedict Cumberbatch is an executive producer. Bryce Dessner – acclaimed composer, member of The National, and frequent Taylor Swift collaborator – provides the score. The film is produced by StudioCanal and Sunny March.
Garfield is best known for playing Peter Parker in several “Spider-Man” films, most recently 2021’s “Spider-Man: No Way Home,” as well as his performances in films like “The Social Network” and “Hacksaw Ridge.” He won a Tony in 2018 for his performance as Prior Walter in the revival of “Angels in America.”
Pugh is best known for her performances in a wide range of films, including the A24 horror film “Midsommar,” the Marvel film “Black Widow,” and the sci-fi blockbuster “Dune: Part Two.” She won a SAG Award as a member of the cast of “Oppenheimer.”
“We Live in Time” will premiere at the Toronto Film Festival in September, followed by a limited theatrical release by A24 on October 11.
