Edward Norton and Olivia Wilde are set to star in 'The Invite', a new psychological thriller directed by Jessica M. Thompson. The film is scheduled for release in 2026.
Plot and Setting
The story unfolds in a luxury hotel where a group of strangers are invited to a mysterious event. As tensions rise, secrets emerge, and the guests realize they are trapped with a dangerous presence. Norton plays a reclusive billionaire, while Wilde portrays a journalist investigating the hotel's dark past.
Production Details
Filming is expected to begin later this year in London. The script was written by Thompson and based on an original idea by Norton. Producers include Jason Blum and Norton himself under his production company, Class 5 Films.
According to Thompson, the film explores themes of paranoia and power dynamics. 'It's a claustrophobic thriller that keeps you guessing until the very end,' she said.
Cast and Crew
The supporting cast includes rising stars and veteran actors, though names have not yet been announced. The film marks Thompson's return to the thriller genre after her success with 'The Night House' (2020).
Norton expressed excitement about the project, stating, 'I've wanted to work with Olivia for years, and Jessica's vision is incredibly compelling.' Wilde added, 'The script is sharp and unsettling. I couldn't say no.'
