Olivia Wilde’s The Invite Trailer Debuts Ahead of Theatrical Release

The trailer offers a first look at the actor-led dinner-party comedy ahead of an A24 theatrical release.

Overview

  • The film’s trailer was released Thursday and previews a single-night dinner party where a married couple’s fragile relationship is tested by their new neighbors.
  • Seth Rogen and Olivia Wilde play the bickering couple Joe and Angela while Penélope Cruz and Edward Norton appear as the upstairs neighbors who destabilize the evening.
  • The screenplay was written by Will McCormack and Rashida Jones and the film was shot with a small, single-location approach that foregrounds performance and dialogue.
  • The Invite premiered in Sundance’s Premieres section earlier this year and drew strong festival attention that led to competitive buyer interest.
  • A24 has scheduled a wide theatrical release for June 26, a move that bucks the recent trend of adult comedies going straight to streaming and gives Wilde’s third feature a summer box-office push.
