Do we each have a soul mate, someone we’re meant to spend all of eternity with? It’s a great philosophical question that touches on ultimate matters of the heart, existence, and the nature of love itself. But what if you had to actually answer it and literally live with the consequences forever? That would be a lot less fun. Which is exactly why it makes for an incredible premise in A24’s new film Eternity starring Elizabeth Olsen. Eternity‘s first trailer introduces Olsen as a dead woman who must decide which of her two husbands she’s meant to be with for all eternity.
If you thought life was hard, wait until you check out the afterlife in the first trailer for A24’s Eternity. It opens with Miles Teller’s character taking a train to the Junction, the place where dead people must make two decisions with eternal implications. They must pick where they will spend forever, along with the person they will spend it with. At least one of those things seems easy when his wife (played by Olsen), of 50 years, soon shows up. Only, her first husband (Callum Turner), who died young while fighting in WWI, has already been waiting 67 years for her to arrive.
What follows is an afterlife love triangle that puts Olsen in an impossible spot, as her two husbands once again vie for her hand. Not easy for any of them, but it should be great for moviegoers. This fun, emotional Eternity trailer blends a classic story with deep ideas, right on the money for A24. And it does all of that with both humor and heart.
A24’s Eternity comes from director David Freyne (Dating Amber). He wrote the script with Pat Cunnane. The film also stars John Early, Da’Vine Joy Randolph, and Olga Merediz. You won’t have to wait 67 years to see it, though. This train to the afterlife pulls into theaters this November, according to this Eternity trailer.
