About Time : a romantic comedy about love and time travel

At the age of 21, Tim Lake (Domhnall Gleeson) discovers he can travel in time…

The night after another unsatisfactory New Year party, Tim’s father (Bill Nighy) tells his son that the men in his family have always had the ability to travel through time. Tim can’t change history, but he can change what happens and has happened in his own life—so he decides to make his world a better place...by getting a girlfriend. Sadly, that turns out not to be as easy as you might think.

Moving from the Cornwall coast to London to train as a lawyer, Tim finally meets the beautiful but insecure Mary (Rachel McAdams). They fall in love, then an unfortunate time-travel incident means he’s never met her at all. So they meet for the first time again—and again—but finally, after a lot of cunning time-traveling, he wins her heart.

Tim then uses his power to create the perfect romantic proposal, to save his wedding from the worst best-man speeches, to save his best friend from professional disaster and to get his pregnant wife to the hospital in time for the birth of their daughter, despite a nasty traffic jam outside Abbey Road.

But as his unusual life progresses, Tim finds out that his unique gift can’t save him from the sorrows and ups and downs that affect all families, everywhere. There are great limits to what time travel can achieve, and it can be dangerous too. About Time is a comedy about love and time travel, which discovers that, in the end, making the most of life may not need time travel at all.

Leading the cast are Rachel McAdams, Bill Nighy, Margot Robbie, Domhnall Gleeson, and a Lydia Wilson.

About Time is a Universal Pictures presentation written and directed by Richard Curtis. It is distributed by United International Pictures through Solar Entertainment Corporation. Showing at your favorite theaters and cinemas this September 18.

Hassan faces kickboxing champion Alain Ngalani. Born in Cameroon, Ngalani now calls Hong Kong home after living in the city for more than 10 years. He has amassed an incredible kickboxing record that includes two Muay Thai world championships.

Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu world champion Almiro Barros will be making his mixed martial arts debut as he faces Australian-Vietnamese Kian Pham. Barros trains out of the famed Evolve MMA in Singapore while Kian Pham has established himself as a top Flyweight in Australia.  These Flyweights will look to steal the show with a standout performance at ONE FC: KOJIMA VS LEONE.  

Caros Fodor is a hard-nosed MMA veteran who served in the United States Marine Corp and did a tour in Kuwait during the Iraq Invasion. Since leaving the service, he has amassed a mixed martial arts record of 7-3 with an exciting style that has made him a fan favorite. Fodor remained the top ranked Lightweight in Strikeforce throughout his career there and is now looking to extend his winning ways by using his trademark reckless abandon to propel him to his first victory in Asia in his ONE FC debut. Fodor clashes with “Tommy” Yang Seung Ho, who is undefeated in six professional mixed martial arts bouts so far.
