Margot Robbie to Star in Kristoffer Borgli's 'The Week of Pain'
The actress will also produce the 2027 project alongside Ari Aster’s Square Peg banner
Margot Robbie has attached herself to lead The Week of Pain, an upcoming feature developed from an original screenplay by filmmaker Kristoffer Borgli, who will also direct.
Details concerning the plot are being tightly held, a standard practice for projects involving Borgli and Square Peg. Robbie, who has followed the director's output for years, initiated conversations about teaming up before locking in a commitment to go before cameras in 2027.
The collaboration deepens an established creative alliance between Borgli, A24, and Square Peg. The group previously joined forces on the 2023 title Dream Scenario as well as The Drama, an April release featuring Zendaya and Robert Pattinson that grossed $134 million across international markets.
The casting news arrives after Robbie scored a major box office hit earlier in 2026 with Emerald Fennell’s take on Wuthering Heights, which co-starred Jacob Elordi and collected $240 million globally. She is currently finishing work on an Ocean’s prequel opposite Bradley Cooper.
Robbie’s professional team includes CAA, Entertainment 360, Aran Michael Management, and legal representative Jeff Bernstein, whereas Borgli is with UTA.
