Elizabeth Olsen Joins Julia Roberts in Sam Esmail’s Thriller PANIC CAREFULLY
Elizabeth Olsen is set to star alongside Julia Roberts in the upcoming Warner Bros. thriller Panic Carefully, which is being directed by Mr. Robot creator Sam Esmail from a script he wrote.
The movie is described as “a paranoid thriller in the vein of Esmail’s Emmy and Golden Globe winner Mr. Robot, as well as The Silence of the Lambs.” There are no story details to share, but I’m intrigued.
Warner Bros. picked up the film project after a heated bidding war with other studios and streaming services. The film reunites Esmail with Roberts, who worked together on the apocalyptic thriller, Leave the World Behind.
Production on the project will start in England in January.
Olsen most recently starred opposite Carrie Coon and Natasha Lyonne in His Three Daughters, Netflix’s family drama. She also headlined Max’s miniseries Love & Death, as axe murderer Candy Montgomery, as well as Disney+’s WandaVision.
She also stars in the upcoming sci-fi drama The Assessment, in which she stars opposite Alicia Vikander and A24’s Eternity, a romantic comedy she exec produced.
