"The upcoming movie Eternity is a romantic comedy set in an afterlife where souls have one week to decide where they want to spend, well, eternity. Elizabeth Olsen stars as Joan, a woman who has to choose whether to pass the afterlife with her husband of 50 years, Larry (Miles Teller), or her first love, Luke (Callum Turner). Da'Vine Joy Randolph plays Anna, an afterlife coordinator who helps Larry navigate a tumultuous week."

"Have you ever made a pizza before? DA'VINE JOY RANDOLPH Yes. ELIZABETH OLSEN [Nods yes] MILES TELLER Does Boboli count? When I was a kid, we would do Boboli Friday. OLSEN What does that mean? TELLER Boboli is, like, this crust you would get in the supermarket, and then we would just add the tomato sauce and cheese and pepperoni. You've never made it from scratch? TELLER This will be my first time. OLSEN Really? I really didn't expect this to be your first time. TELLER Yeah, I mostly order pizza."

"Do you like to cook? RANDOLPH Absolutely. OLSEN Yes. So much. TELLER Yes, yes I do. What's everyone cooking? RANDOLPH Everything. OLSEN I'm cooking fish all the time. And congee. TELLER I like doing a lot with baked chicken thighs skin-on, bone-in. I think they're often overlooked, but very juicy. And I went into a Thai phase as well, cooking-wise, where I was cooking a lot of Thai food. Do you have a favorite pizza place? TELLER John's on Bleecker, when I'm in the city. Absolutely. OLSEN One of my favorites in Los Angeles closed down, Gorilla Pies. But I really love Bianco pizza. RANDOLPH I like Prince Street Pizza. TELLER And Angelo's in Philly. Killer pie."
