Hollywood actor-director Olivia Wilde is set to take the reins on a new comedy movie called The Invite. What’s even better is that the film will star Penélope Cruz.
Wilde, 41, who made her directorial debut with the teen comedy film Booksmart (2019), is set to helm the upcoming date-night comedy, which is inspired by the Spanish film Sentimental (2020).
Wilde will also star in the movie alongside Seth Rogen and Edward Norton. The film’s official synopsis explains that The Invite is about a couple who invites the neighbours over, igniting an evening full of unexpected twists and turns, revealing deeply repressed emotions and unexplored sexuality.
