'Time After Time': Release date, plot, cast, trailer and everything you need to know about the Sophie Turner, Asa Butterfield starrer
After a breakup, most of us spend our time moping and obsessing over the details that could have led to the disastrous event. What if you could go back in time and fix everything so that the breakup never happens and instead you're left with a happy, blissful relationship. Stillman (Asa Butterfield), a jilted boyfriend who is dumped by his girlfriend, Debbie (Sophie Turner) does exactly this in 'Time After Time'. He creates a time machine which helps him go back in time and get a second chance to salvage the relationship.
Release Date

Plot
"Nothing focuses your mind like a broken heart. I have created what every broken heart wants — a second chance." These lines by Stillman will resonate very strongly with every person that has ever had their heart broken. When Stillman's girlfriend Debbie breaks up with him, he immediately applies his gifted mind to create a time machine, which will help him get a second chance to work things out with Debbie, his one true love.
But does a second chance really help fix everything that led to the breakup? This beautiful science-fiction embedded romantic comedy shows us that some mistakes, no matter how hard you try, can never be fixed.
In one of the interviews, Butterfield shared his thoughts about breakups and the movie, "Yeah, I think everyone looks back at breakups and thinks, 'If I had done that thing differently…', it's just a very real scenario — if you take away the time travel aspect — in that you always think about what you could've done better and wish you had the ability to go back and change that. That opens up a lot of possibilities and funny scenarios in the movie."
