However the quandary launched in Eternity is a very prickly one, as a girl who’s lived a protracted life that encompassed two glad marriages crosses over… right into a fantastical however weirdly bureaucratic model of purgatory, the place she’s knowledgeable she should decide between her likes to resolve her everlasting associate.

The brand new trailer for Eternity dropped right this moment, and if that premise makes you need to scream, not less than the forged has plenty of enchantment: Elizabeth Olsen, Callum Turner, Miles Teller, John Early, and Da’Vine Pleasure Randolph.

Who else muttered “Oh, she’s within the Unhealthy Place” to themselves whereas watching that?

It’s the afterlife. It’s a magical realm. They don’t say “heaven,” however it seems to be fairly dreamy other than all that ridiculous romantic drama. Why can’t Joan have it each methods? Who made up these guidelines? ONE WEEK?? Is there any room to barter?
