A24 has greenlit “The Week of Pain,” with Margot Robbie set to star and “The Drama” writer-director Kristoffer Borgli attached to direct. Variety reports the film is backed by A24, with production also involving Square Peg, while other affiliated companies tied to Robbie’s LuckyChap and Dilemma Films are listed among the producers.
Deadline also confirms Robbie’s involvement and Borgli’s directing role, framing the announcement around the status of her other work, noting production on her “Ocean’s” prequel is winding down. Both outlets identify the same core creative team and A24’s role as producer and financier. However, they differ in what they emphasize: Variety spotlights the project’s creative pedigree and the producing banners, while Deadline leads with Robbie’s broader schedule and provides the announcement as an exclusive based on sources.
