Olivia Wilde’s The Invite earned a standing ovation at its Sundance world premiere in Park City; the English-language remake of The People Upstairs follows two couples sharing an apartment, delivering a witty, midlife comedy as Wilde directs and stars opposite Edward Norton, Penelope Cruz and Seth Rogen.
Olivia Wilde opted for an indie, workshop-driven approach for her Sundance comedy The Invite, planning weeks of development with Rashida Jones and Will McCormack and shooting sequentially to keep the story flexible. The film, a remake of Sentimental, stars Wilde with Seth Rogen, Edward Norton and Penélope Cruz in a largely single-location setup, and was produced outside the studio system with Megan Ellison’s backing and Esther Perel as a consultant to explore mature relationships. Sundance will showcase the ensemble as they pursue distribution, with Cruz unable to attend due to filming in Spain.
