Margot Robbie to Star in A24’s ‘The Week of Pain’ From ‘The Drama’ Filmmaker Kristoffer Borgli

The project will mark the actress' first time starring in a film for the studio.

Norwegian director Kristoffer Borgli has chosen Margot Robbie to star in his upcoming drama, titled "The Week of Pain." A24 will finance the film, with Square Peg, Dilemma Films, and LuckyChap also involved in production. Despite the lack of plot details, Borgli's previous work has demonstrated his knack for dark, emotionally-charged stories.

His 2021 film "The Drama" was an R-rated romantic comedy that grossed $135 million worldwide, with Zendaya and Robert Pattinson leading the cast. The film's success was driven by word-of-mouth buzz, sparked by a compelling premise involving a secret Zendaya's character shared during a pre-wedding game.
