The Disappearance of Eleanor Rigby gets a trailer
The story of The Disappearance of Eleanor Rigby is a complicated one. It’s not a movie, it’s three movies.
Originally meant to be two films of a love story told by both sides (one male, subtitled Him and one female, subtitled Her), it became three once TWC’s Harvey Weinstein got his hands on it. Then, director Ned Benson made a third film, a combination of both perspectives subtitled Them, naturally.
All three films will be released with Them getting a wide release on September 26. This first look gives us some insight on the grand plan, possibly existing somewhere between Sliding Doors and (500) Days of Summer.

Erik Anderson is the founder/owner and Editor-in-Chief of AwardsWatch and has always loved all things Oscar, having watched the Academy Awards since he was in single digits; making lists, rankings and predictions throughout the show. This led him down the path to obsessing about awards. Much later, he found himself in film school and the film forums of GoldDerby, and then migrated over to the former Oscarwatch (now AwardsDaily), before breaking off to create AwardsWatch in 2013.
He is a Rotten Tomatoes-approved critic, accredited by the Cannes Film Festival, Telluride Film Festival, Toronto International Film Festival and more, is a member of the International Cinephile Society (ICS), The Society of LGBTQ Entertainment Critics (GALECA), Critics Choice Association (CCA), San Francisco Bay Area Film Critics Circle (SFBAFCC) and the International Press Academy. Among his many achieved goals with AwardsWatch, he has given a platform to underrepresented writers and critics and supplied them with access to film festivals and the industry and calls the Bay Area his home where he lives with his husband and son.
