Margot Robbie is adding another exciting project to her growing film slate, with the actress set to lead A24 and Square Peg’s upcoming film The Week of Pain, directed by Kristoffer Borgli.
According to sources cited by Deadline, Borgli will direct and write the film, which will be financed and produced by A24. Producers include Lars Knudsen and Ari Aster’s Square Peg, alongside Dilemma Films and Robbie’s own production company, LuckyChap.
As expected with a Borgli and Square Peg collaboration, details about the film’s storyline are being kept tightly under wraps.
The project marks another collaboration between Borgli, A24 and Square Peg following the success of The Drama, starring Zendaya and Robert Pattinson. Released in April, the film became one of A24’s biggest releases of 2024, earning approximately $134 million worldwide. Borgli also previously worked with the studio on the 2023 film Dream Scenario.
Robbie has reportedly been a longtime admirer of Borgli’s work, with discussions about potentially starring in his next project beginning some time ago. The actress has now officially committed to the film, with production expected to take place sometime in 2027.
Despite production on her upcoming Ocean’s prequel beginning to wind down, Robbie shows no signs of slowing down, continuing to line up major projects with some of the industry’s most exciting filmmakers.
