Margot Robbie & Kristoffer Borgli Team On ‘The Week Of Pain’ From A24 And Square Peg

Even with production on her Ocean’s prequel winding down, Margot Robbie isn’t looking to slow down anytime soon as sources tell Deadline she is set to star in the A24 and Square Peg pic The Week of Pain, with Kristoffer Borgli on board to direct.

A24 will finance and produce the pic with Lars Knudsen and Ari Aster’s Square Peg producing along with Dilemma Films and LuckyChap. Borgli also penned the script.

As with any Borgli and Square Peg project, plot details are being kept under wraps. The project reunites Borgli with the studio and Square Peg following the success of The Drama, which A24 released in April. Starring Zendaya and Robert Pattinson, it became one of the studio’s biggest films of 2024 with $134 million at the worldwide box office. He had also directed 2023’s Dream Scenario for the studio.

Robbie has been a fan of Borgli’s work for some time. She began discussing potentially starring in his next project awhile ago and recently committed to shoot the film sometime in 2027.

The three-time Oscar-nominated Barbie star is coming off a strong 2026 that began with her hit adaptation of Wuthering Heights. The film from Emerald Fennell also starred Jacob Elordi and grossed $240 million worldwide. Next up, she is set to star opposite Bradley Cooper in the Ocean’s prequel.

Robbie is repped by CAA, Entertainment 360 and Aran Michael Management and attorney Jeff Bernstein. Borgli is repped by UTA.
