Margot Robbie to Star in Kristoffer Borgli’s The Week of Pain for A24

Margot Robbie is set to star in The Week of Pain, the new film from writer-director Kristoffer Borgli. The project brings together Robbie, A24 and the filmmaker behind The Drama and Dream Scenario.

Deadline reported the casting, which Variety has also confirmed. Our latest Report post notes that Robbie has been a fan of Borgli’s work and has committed to a shoot in 2027.

The team behind the film

A24 will finance and produce. Ari Aster and Lars Knudsen’s Square Peg is also producing, alongside Dilemma Films and Robbie’s LuckyChap.

The project continues Borgli’s relationship with A24 and Square Peg following The Drama. For Robbie, it is a new collaboration with a filmmaker whose previous work includes Dream Scenario and Sick of Myself.

What we know about the story

Plot details are being kept under wraps. The casting report does not announce a cinema release date, and the planned 2027 shoot should not be confused with a confirmed release window.

For now, the combination of Robbie and Borgli is the headline. There is a lead star, a writer-director and a producing team in place, while the story itself remains to be revealed.
