The happy occasion will be in ‘Journey to Paradise’, the new one romantic comedy by Universal Pictures directed by Ol Parker (director of ‘Mamma Mia! Again and Again’). The film, which will be released in theaters September 16already has a trailer and is a real gift for lovers of 90s romantic comedies and these two American superstars.
Oscar-winning performers bring to life this time around a divorced couple who have no choice but to join forces to stop their daughter’s marriage (Kaitlyn Dever), who is deeply in love, as the one thing they both agree on is that she can’t make the same mistake they made 25 years ago.

The film is co-written by Parker with Daniel Pipski and produced by, among others, Tim Bevan (“Darkest Hour”), Eric Fellner (“The Theory of Everything), Sarah Harvey (” The Exotic Marigold Hotel “), Deborah Balderstone (“Palm Beach”) and Julia Roberts herself Filming took place in Queensland, Australia.
the fifth time together
Julia Roberts and George Clooney are old friends and in the “Journey to Paradise” trailer the natural chemistry between them is evident. This is the fifth film in which they coincide in front of the cameras. The first was “Ocean’s Eleven (Make game)”, in 2001, followed by “Confessions of a dangerous mind” (2002), directed by Clooney, and shortly after the sequel “Ocean’s Twelve (One more in the game)” ( 2004). Their paths crossed again in 2016 with the Jodie Foster-directed thriller “Money Monster” and now, six years later, they are back together to become romantics. Additionally, Clooney was the producer of “August,” which stars Roberts, so technically they’ve already worked on six films together.
Also supposes ‘Journey to Heaven’ The full return of Julia Roberts to romantic comedy after 20 years away from the genre she became queen of in the 90s. Her main motivation? Your co-star. As the actress declared a few months ago, for her the film “It would only work if it were George Clooney. In fact, George felt it would only work with me. Somehow, we are both capable of it, and here we are.”.
‘Journey to Paradise’ opens exclusively in theaters on September 16.
