Searchlight Pictures has debuted the official trailer for Andrew Stanton’s In the Blink of an Eye. The film will be available to stream exclusively on Disney+ in the UK from February 27, 2026.
From the 2016 Black List script by Colby Day (Spaceman), Andrew Stanton (WALL·E, Finding Nemo) crafts an interwoven triptych that contemplates the essence of humanity throughout time. Across these millennia, one constant has remained: our desire to connect with each other and the world that sustains us.
Watch the film’s official trailer in the player below:
In the distant past, a Neanderthal family (Jorge Vargas, Tanaya Beatty), displaced from their home, struggles to survive – protecting their children and learning to wield primitive tools in an unforgiving world. In the present day, Claire (Rashida Jones), a driven post-graduate anthropologist studying ancient proto-human remains, begins a tentative relationship with a fellow student, Greg (Daveed Diggs). And two centuries later, aboard a spaceship bound for a distant planet, Coakley (Kate McKinnon) and a sentient onboard computer confront a mysterious disease threatening the ship’s oxygen-producing plants.
Three storylines, spanning thousands of years, intersect and reflect on hope, connection, and the circle of life.
