Are there any stills or images?


Where did production take place?

Production took place across New York City and Los Angeles.

When did filming take place?

Filming began on January 15th, 2018 and concluded a few months later in April. This means filming concluded before Marvel’s Avengers: Infinity War was even released.

The film has been on ice for some time. This could be because of the hectic schedules of Scarlett Johansson and Adam Driver.


What is the run time of Marriage Story?

We have confirmation that Marriage Story will be just over 2 hours long with a run time of 132 minutes.

Will Marriage Story be available to stream in 4K?

There’s no official confirmation that Marriage Story will be available to stream in 4K. The film was shot in 2K and could be upscaled to 4K but it won’t have the true resolution that is associated with true 4K.


Has Netflix released a trailer for Marriage Story?

If it wasn’t for the fact that Marriage Story will be debuting at a film festival it’s unlikely Netflix would have released a trailer until a week before their own release date.

Regardless there are two teaser trailers for Marriage Story. Each trailer tells the point of view of our two protagonists of their thoughts and feelings towards their partner. The second teaser can be watched here.


When is the release date for Marriage Story?

Marriage Story will be arriving at the very end of the Fall season on the 6th of December, 2019.
