A24 Drops First Trailer for Eternity, a Charming Afterlife Romantic Comedy

A24 has unveiled the first official trailer for Eternity, an inventive romantic comedy set in the afterlife, directed by filmmaker David Freyne. The film introduces a captivating premise where souls, after death, have one week to decide where they want to spend eternity. This unique setup frames a story that is equal parts heartfelt and humorous, inviting audiences to ponder the meaning of love, choice, and closure beyond life.

 

At the center of Eternity is Joan, portrayed by Elizabeth Olsen, who faces a profound dilemma. Upon entering the afterlife, she must choose between Larry (Miles Teller), the man she spent her lifetime with, and her first love (Callum Turner), who died young in a war and has waited decades for her arrival. This emotional triangle explores themes of memory, loyalty, and what it means to move on, offering a fresh perspective on love that transcends time and mortality.

 

The supporting cast, including John Early, Betty Buckley, and Da’Vine Joy Randolph, adds nuance and levity to the film, enriching the narrative with their performances. The screenplay, co-written by David Freyne and Patrick Cunnane, balances comedy with poignant moments, ensuring the story resonates with viewers on multiple levels. Their collaboration brings a thoughtful, layered approach to the romantic comedy genre.

 

Visually, the trailer showcases a blend of whimsical and somber tones, perfectly matching the film’s exploration of life after death. The afterlife setting is portrayed as both magical and contemplative, emphasizing the weight of Joan’s decision while allowing space for humor and charm. This balance promises a film that is emotionally engaging yet lighthearted.

 

Eternity is slated for a November 2025 release, positioning itself as one of A24’s anticipated indie titles for the year. With a talented cast, a compelling premise, and a thoughtful script, the film looks set to capture audiences seeking romance, reflection, and a touch of the supernatural.
