Put this movie on your radar right now. Variety reports that Margot Robbie will star in The Week of Pain, from A24 and The Drama director Kristoffer Borgli. Robbie will also produce through LuckyChap, along with Ari Aster’s Square Peg.
Details on the film are being kept under wraps for now, but Borgli is known for dark comedies and uncomfortable humor, so expect more of that based on the title. This continues Borgli’s association with A24, which distributed his breakout film, Dream Scenario, as well as this year’s The Drama, which earned an impressive $135M box office.
Robbie remains one of Hollywood’s biggest stars following the massive success of Barbie. She most recently starred in Emerald Fennell’s adaptation of Wuthering Heights, which bucked polarizing reviews to earn $241M. Coming up next for her is Bradley Cooper’s Ocean’s 11 prequel which opens in June 2027.
