Written and directed by Dan Fogelman, Life Itself follows a young New York couple going from college romance to marriage and the birth of their first child. The story begins here, and unexpected twists of their journey create reverberations that echo over continents and through lifetimes.
The second poster shows the couple expecting their first baby, happy and secure in their relationship. Watch the clip and trailer; something has happened to them so far. All is not heavenly forever.
Life Itself examines the perils and rewards of everyday life in a multigenerational saga featuring a talented ensemble including Oscar Isaac, Olivia Wilde, Antonio Banderas, Annette Bening, Olivia Cooke, Sergio Peris-Mencheta, Laia Costa, Alex Monner, and Mandy Patinkin.
Fogleman shot the movie in both New York City and Carmona, Spain. Life Itself honors the human condition and its complications with humor, poignancy, and love.
He is multi-talented and wrote the screenplay for Bolt, Cars, and Tangled. His work includes several TV series, from Galavant to This Is Us.
The movie clip shows the main couple we see throughout the trailer. Somehow, they influence the rest of the characters in the story.
Watching the movie trailer, I got the idea of vignettes about life itself based on the birth of the couple’s child.
