Margot Robbie protagonist of The Week of Pain, the new film by Kristoffer Borgli

After the success of Barbie and the most recent adaptation of Wuthering Heights, Margot Robbie is preparing for a new collaboration with American independent cinema. The Australian actress will star in The Week of Pain, the next feature film written and directed by Norwegian director Kristoffer Borgli, author of Dream Scenario and Sick of Myself.

The project will be financed and produced by A24 together with Square Peg, the company founded by Ari Aster and Lars Knudsen. LuckyChap Entertainment, the production company founded by Robbie herself, and Dilemma Films will also participate in the production. For the moment the plot is kept secret and no other actors have been announced. Filming is scheduled for 2027, while a release date has not yet been announced.

For Borgli this is a new project with A24 and Square Peg after The Drama, the comedy drama starring Zendaya and Robert Pattinson which achieved an important result at the international box office, grossing around 135 million dollars against a budget of 28 million. The director made himself known for a cinema capable of mixing surreal situations, black humor and moments of strong discomfort, as demonstrated also by Dream Scenario, with Nicolas Cage, and Sick of Myself.

Robbie, fresh from the success of Wuthering Heights by Emerald Fennell, in which she starred alongside Jacob Elordi, has a busy agenda: her next projects also include the prequel to Ocean's Eleven, in which she will be joined by Bradley Cooper, also the director of the film. With The Week of Pain the actress thus adds a new title to her career, returning to collaborate with an A24 production, this time also through her LuckyChap.
