‘Voyage of Time’ Not Coming Anytime Soon

With Terrence Malick juggling so many projects we’ve been curious as to the timeframe we’ll actually see them. Last year gave as his astounding epic The Tree of Life, while this year To the Wonder is arriving on the fall festival circuit. Then he’s currently hard at work on back-to-back features, as well as his documentary spin-off of Tree, titled Voyage of Time. But why the sudden burst in creativity and when will the notorious perfectionist dive into completing each?

We’ve also finally got an update on what they describe as the “epic and ambitious” documentary Voyage of Time, which features narration from Brad Pitt and Emma Thompson. As previously reported the film is said to be “aesthetically unique and scientifically accurate” and will chronicle “the whole of time, from the birth of the universe to its final collapse.” It will follow “the first signs of life, bacteria, cellular pioneers, first love, consciousness, the ascent of humanity, life and death and the end of the universe.” As one expected, this will take quite some time and producers confirm, saying “there are large parts shot already but it’s a multi-year project so there’s a way to go yet. Terry has been envisioning it for several decades.” In other words, don’t expect it for awhile.
