Margot Robbie has been cast in A24 and Square Peg’s forthcoming film The Week of Pain, with Kristoffer Borgli attached to write and direct. The project brings together several production entities, including A24 in a financing and producing capacity, Square Peg, Dilemma Films, and Robbie’s own production company LuckyChap. Square Peg is led by Ari Aster.
The collaboration reunites Borgli with A24 and Square Peg following their previous theatrical success. The director’s most recent project with the studio, The Drama, was released in April and became one of A24’s highest-grossing films globally, accumulating $134 million at the worldwide box office. That romantic dark comedy starred Zendaya and Robert Pattinson. Borgli’s prior work for A24 includes Dream Scenario from 2023, which featured Nicolas Cage in the lead role.
Robbie’s involvement in The Week of Pain represents her first starring role in an A24 film. Details regarding the film’s plot remain undisclosed at this time. The actress recently appeared in Wuthering Heights alongside Jacob Elordi, a Warner Bros. adaptation of Emily Brontë’s classic novel that grossed $241.8 million worldwide. She is currently completing work on an Ocean’s franchise prequel co-starring Bradley Cooper, who also directs the project. The Ocean’s film includes an ensemble cast featuring Monica Barbaro, George MacKay, Vicky Krieps, Josh Gad, Wagner Moura, Omar Sy, Jack Holden, and Lauren Ridloff.
