“We’ve decided that we need to make a change.” AGC Studios + Catchlight Studios have revealed an official UK trailer for a kooky time travel comedy about a family called The Present, opening first in the UK in May this summer. Strangely his has no US date set yet, despite being a US film that should be on streaming by now. A brilliant boy discovers that he can manipulate time using a family heirloom – an old grandfather clock. He soon team up his siblings in returning to the time of their parents’ separation from their in hopes of changing the outcome and stopping them from divorcing. Oh boy, this sounds a bit awkward. Actors Isla Fisher & Greg Kinnear star as the parents, with a cast including Ryan Guzman, Shay Rudolph, Amir Talai, Alphonso McAuley, Easton Rocket Sweda, Sarah Jane MacKay, & Mason Shea Joyce, with Eric Tiede. This looks really cheesy, like something made-for-TV to debut at primetime in the early 2000s.
Here’s the official UK trailer (+ UK quad poster) for Christian Ditter’s The Present, from YouTube:
With an exciting cast lead by Isla Fisher & Greg Kinnear, The Present follows a young boy who discovers he can use an enchanted grandfather clock to go back in time. He teams up with his siblings on a quest to bring their separated parents back together again by going back to the time when their separation began. The Present is directed by German writer / filmmaker Christian Ditter, director of the films French for Beginners, The Crocodiles & The Crocodiles Strike Back, Vicky and the Treasure of the Gods, Love Rosie, and How to Be Single previously, plus the series “Girlboss” and “Biohackers” most recently. The screenplay is written by Jay Martel (a writer on “Key and Peele”, “Alternatino with Arturo Castro”). Produced by Marcei A. Brown, Jessica Malanaphy, and Linda McDonough. The Present is set to release in UK + Ireland cinemas starting May 24th, 2024 coming soon. No US release date has been revealed – stay tuned. Look any good?
