David Freyne is the director of Miles Teller, Elizabeth Olsen and Callum Turner’s latest fantasy/romance/drama, Eternity. A film set in an afterlife where souls have a week to decide where to spend eternity.
Imagine being Joan (Olsen), who has to choose between her first love, who died young, and the man she spent her life with.
I love this premise! After all, it’s not often that a movie gets made about a topic you find so interesting that you’re both excited and surprised the subject was covered quite in this way before.
Of course, immediately, I thought of Kristen Bell, William Jackson Harper and Jameela Jamil’s The Good Place (2016 – 2020), a well-executed series about the afterlife, which I highly recommend.
The likelihood that this will turn out great is promising, considering the talented cast. I just hope that there’s a good resolution for Joan, who now seems to be in a version of hell she hadn’t quite anticipated.
Are you also looking forward to Eternity?
Da’Vine Joy Randolph, John Early, Betty Buckley, Jeff Sanca, Panta Mosleh, Noah Bromley, Lucy Turnbull, David Z. Cohen, Barry Primus, Jeanie Cloutier and Panta Mosleh also star.
Happy Film Loving,

The Movie My Life 
Gia, that trailer brought instant tears to my eyes. I have to watch it in order to see how they handle it, just in case…
I feel you Lisa! It’s just such a terrible choice to have to make. I can’t remember what what will happen if no choice is made. Not sure they mentioned that.
I’m with you there. This is a very special story to be part of.
Amen! 🤓🥂
To me it looks like the story favors the second husband. I’m on the fence about it at this point of my life. Meaning I would try to put myself in her shoes and it doesn’t feel like a good mental exercise.
As soon as you mentioned favouring the second husband, I saw it too. I agree, it’s really not a good mental exercise, which, for me, makes this premise even more intriguing.
Interesting!!
Truth!
It reminds me of After Life too, the film where the recently deceased have to pick a memory to be with them for eternity. Urghh, so many decisions!
After Life is new to me, but that does sound interesting. Picking a memory is quite a huge task. Perhaps we can game the system and say, ‘I pick the memory of my life in its entirety.’ 🤓

I really like it, have a look!
Thanks, Jane. It looks good, the way only a well-imagined nightmare can. 🤓🥂
