Margot Robbie will star in a new film from A24 and Square Peg called The Week of Pain.
The project will be written and directed by Kristoffer Borgli, who helmed The Drama last year. A24 is set to finance the production. Square Peg, the banner run by Ari Aster and Lars Knudsen, will produce the film alongside Dilemma Films and Robbie's company, LuckyChap.
Specific plot details for the upcoming project have not been released. Borgli is known for writing and directing films such as Dream Scenario and Sick of Myself. His recent work with Square Peg and A24 includes The Drama, which stars Robert Pattinson and Zendaya. That film depicts a wedding week disrupted by a childhood secret.
The Drama earned $135 million worldwide against a budget of $28 million. It released in April of this year. The commercial success of that film follows Borgli's earlier collaborations with the two production companies.
Robbie most recently appeared in the Warner Bros. adaptation of Wuthering Heights. She played Cathy in that literary romance, which starred Jacob Elordi as Heathcliff. The film grossed $241 million globally. Robbie is also preparing to star in a prequel to Ocean's Eleven. She will work alongside Bradley Cooper, who is directing the film. Clooney is currently starring in a separate sequel to the 2001 original. Robbie stated at CinemaCon 2026 that the prequel will feature an epic heist at the 1962 Monaco Grand Prix.
Robbie is represented by Entertainment 360, CAA, Narrative, Aran Michael Management, and attorney Jeff Bernstein. Borgli is represented by UTA.
