We Live In Time

October 20, 2024

We Live In Time is a 2024 romance comedy drama film directed by John Crowley, the man behind the hit 2015 film Brooklyn, from a screenplay by Nick Payne (The Crown, The Last Letter From Your Lover). The film will have its world premiere at the Toronto International Film Festival in September. At Cannes Film Festival in 2023, the Paris-based film production and distribution company StudioCanal sold the movie to A24 for U.S. distribution.

Almut (Florence Pugh) and Tobias (Andrew Garfield) are brought together in a surprise encounter that changes their lives. Through snapshots of their life together -- falling for each other, building a home, becoming a family -- a difficult truth is revealed that rocks its foundation. As they embark on a path challenged by the limits of time, they learn to cherish each moment of the unconventional route their love story has taken, in filmmaker John Crowley's decade-spanning, deeply moving romance.

The cast includes Andrew Garfield, Florence Pugh, Adam James, Marama Corlett, Aoife Hinds, Nikhil Parmar, Heather Craney, and Kara Lynch.

We Live In Time is set to debut in select theaters on October 11th, courtesy of A24. Watch the official trailer below.

El Camino

January 1, 2017

Director Vince Gilligan

Genre Crime | Drama

Cast Aaron Paul, Matt Jones, Charles Baker

Rating Unrated

Release Date October 11th, 2019 (Netflix)

“After escaping Jack and his gang, Jesse Pinkman goes on the run from the police and tries to escape his own inner turmoil.”

Breaking Bad writer and creator Vince Gilligan went back to the drawing board and has decided to surprise fans of the hit series with a film that will serve as a follow-up to the dramatic finale. In El Camino, Jesse Pinkman narrowly escapes the compound where Heisenberg meets his end. Pinkman must come to terms with his past in order to forge any sort of future. Now like 98% of people out there, I absolutely loved the AMC series Breaking Bad and I watched it in it’s entirety at least 3 times. With Gilligan back at the helm and Aaron Paul on board, I cannot wait for this movie to drop! Check out the official trailers below!!

Ted Takes Fun Facts, Little Monsters:

  • Originally, the producers couldn't get the rights to use Taylor Swift's "Shake it Off" in the film, as they were denied by the record label. Lupita Nyong'o is a big fan of the song and saw it as pivotal part of the screenplay, which led her to personally get in touch with Swift to explain why the song was important to her and the narrative, after which Swift granted her the rights.
