Robbie signs Borgli’s next

Aussie beauty to star in Norwegian director’s The Week of Pain 

Margot Robbie is set to headline the upcoming feature The Week of Pain, written and directed by Kristoffer Borgli. A24 and Square Peg will produce and finance the project, with Ari Aster and Lars Knudsen’s Square Peg banner producing alongside Dilemma Films and Robbie’s LuckyChap production company.

While specific plot details remain under wraps, the collaboration reunites the key creative forces behind recent box office hits and continues Borgli’s signature run of sharply comedic, cringe-forward dramas following works such as Sick of Myself (2022) and the Nicolas Cage starrer Dream Scenario (2023).

Mega hits 

Square Peg and A24 previously partnered with Borgli on the dramedy The Drama, which starred Robert Pattinson and Zendaya.

The film, which hit the silver screens this year, became a major box office success, grossing USD 135 million worldwide against a USD 28 million budget.

Robbie most recently starred in Warner Bros.’ literary romance Wuthering Heights alongside Jacob Elordi, a project that grossed USD 241 million globally.

Her upcoming slate also includes an Ocean’s 11 prequel directed by and co-starring Bradley Cooper.

Robbie recently revealed at CinemaCon 2026 that the film will centre on an “epic heist at the 1962 Monaco Grand Prix.”
