\n\tMiles Teller<\/a>, Elizabeth Olsen<\/a> and Callum Turner<\/a> get their rom-com on for new A24 film Eternity<\/a>, which follows a woman who, in the afterlife, must choose to spend forever with her longtime husband or her first love, who died young and waited decades for her.<\/p>\n

\n\t\u201cIt might start a few fights, like, \u2018You would choose me in eternity, right?\u2019 \u2018Oh right, right, of course,\u201d Teller joked at the Los Angeles premiere on Wednesday of couples seeing the movie. The film<\/a> debuted at TIFF and has screened at festivals this fall, as the star added he\u2019s observed that \u201cpeople branch off and you can tell that they\u2019re asking these questions that we\u2019re all going to be faced with; it makes people, in a wonderful way, think about loved ones or friends or family members, anyone who has passed away that they hope to be reunited with. I think dying is a tough thing to talk about, even though everybody thinks about it, and this way you get to watch a really entertaining version of it for two hours.\u201d<\/p>\n

\n\tTeller \u2014 who plays Olsen\u2019s husband of 65 years, who returns to his younger body in the afterlife<\/a> \u2014 was drawn to the story as a \u201creally tender-hearted piece, and that\u2019s generally the stuff that I am attracted to.\u201d It also marks his return to the rom-com genre, after early films in his career, including That Awkward Moment and Two Night Stand (both in 2014) and the more rom-dram leaning The Spectacular Now (2013).<\/p>\n

\n\t\u201cI was happy that I was given the opportunity again,\u201d he told The Hollywood Reporter of his rom-com return. \u201cI think most actors are pretty multifaceted \u2014 they just get put in a lane maybe early on and I just have a wide range of interests, so I feel lucky that I\u2019ve been able to kind of weave in and out. But this movie is just kind of life-affirming and to me those are the best projects.\u201d<\/p>\n

\n\tOlsen, in contrast, is taking on her first rom-com with the project, as she joked, \u201cIf I were to do a romantic comedy, it made the most sense for me to do one as a 90-year-old,\u201d like Teller, her character dies in old age and appears as her younger self in the afterlife. \u201cThat was a really amazing opportunity to get to have.\u201d<\/p>\n

\n\tShe pointed to Shirley MacLaine films like The Apartment and Irma la Douce as inspirations, and said after her first rom-com experience, \u201cThe truth is I want to do all of the genres, I really want to do all of them. I\u2019m enjoying that this was a part of it. I\u2019d love to do [another] one as like a 65-year-old.\u201d <\/p>\n
