Olivia Wilde's Film 'The Invite' Debuts at Sundance and Secures A24 Distribution

Olivia Wilde returns to directing with ‘The Invite’, her third feature after ‘Booksmart’ and ‘Don’t Worry Darling’. The comedy‑drama adapts the 2020 Spanish film ‘Sentimental’ and unfolds in a single apartment where a married couple, played by Wilde and Seth Rogen, host a flamboyant couple portrayed by Penélope Cruz and Edward Norton. The film premiered at the Sundance Film Festival earlier this year, where A24 acquired worldwide rights. Critics note the movie balances humor with emotional honesty, marking a strong comeback for Wilde as a filmmaker and positioning the film as a notable summer release.

The production highlights an international adaptation, featuring a U.S. cast and crew while drawing from the original Spanish source material.
