According to its official logline, Armageddon Time is “a deeply personal story on the strength of family, the complexity of friendship, and the generational pursuit of the American Dream.” It’s Gray’s most personal film to date, and it draws inspiration from his own upbringing in Queens, New York during the 1980s.

Irving and Esther Graff, played by Hathaway and Strong, are inspired by the director’s own parents, while Anthony Hopkins plays Aaron Graff, a version of Gray’s grandfather. Rising star Banks Repeta plays a version of the director’s adolescent self, while the rest of the cast includes Jaylin Webb, Ryan Sell, Dane West, John Diehl, and Jessica Chastain.

Written and directed by Gray, Armageddon Time premiered at the 2022 Cannes Film Festival back in May to a seven-minute standing ovation. It currently holds a 90% approval rating on Rotten Tomatoes, and it’s been described as “a well-acted drama refreshingly free of nostalgia.” Its theatrical premiere is set for October 28.

In May, Variety reported that Cate Blanchett would be starring in the film and that James Gray would be directing. Armageddon Time is a coming-of-age story that looks at friendship and loyalty during the Ronald Reagan era. The film is based off of Gray’s childhood memories.

“I’m anxious to make something that is very much about people, about human emotions and interactions between people, and I want it to be filled with warmth and tenderness. In some sense, yes it’s about my childhood, but an illustration of familial love really on every level. I’m of the belief that most people do their best and that they try their best under difficult circumstances and in some sense that’s a beautiful thing and very moving to me,” Gray said when describing the film to Deadline.

This won’t be De Niro and Hathaway’s first time working together, they starred in the 2015 comedy The Intern. De Niro is working with Leonardo DiCaprio in Martin Scorsese’s next movie, Killers of the Flower Moon and Hathaway currently stars in Warner Bros’ The Witches.
