A24 has released a new trailer and fresh posters for Olivia Wilde’s upcoming romantic comedy, The Invite. Starring Seth Rogen and Wilde as a struggling married couple, the film finds them inviting their mysterious upstairs neighbors—Edward Norton and Penélope
By the time the first guests arrive. it’s already clear—Joe (Seth Rogen) and Angela (Olivia Wilde) don’t agree on how their night is supposed to go. A brand-new trailer for A24’s upcoming romantic comedy. The Invite. shows their marriage wobbling from the start. with tension between the couple tightening long before their mysterious upstairs neighbors even step through the door.
Olivia Wilde directs and stars in the film. her third feature as a director after Booksmart and Don’t Worry Darling. In The Invite. Joe and Angela’s relationship is “on thin ice” when they decide to host their upstairs neighbors. Hawk (Edward Norton) and Pina (Penélope Cruz). for dinner. The setup sounds simple—until the evening begins to tilt “into unexpected places. ” pushing the question at the heart of the official synopsis: have they reignited the spark. or “lit the match that burns it all down?”.
The trailer adds fuel to that uncertainty. Joe and Angela are already at odds before Hawk and Pina join the gathering. and once the guests are there. things only grow more complicated. The result is the kind of dinner-party comedy where politeness doesn’t last and control slips fast—especially when the people at the table refuse to fit into any comfortable box.
The Invite also brings together an impressive pairing of talent: Seth Rogen, Penélope Cruz, and Edward Norton star alongside Wilde, with the story adapted for the screen from Cesc Gay’s Spanish-language film The People Upstairs. The adaptation is credited to Will McCormack and Rashida Jones.
There’s a clear throughline in how the film’s premise and its new trailer collide. A marriage already strained becomes the trigger for an evening with enigmatic strangers—setting up a night where a dinner meant to bring something back could just as easily destroy what’s left.
The Invite will debut in select theaters on June 26, then expand nationwide on July 10. New trailer footage and posters are out now, just as audiences start circling Wilde’s third turn behind the camera—and the chaos waiting at the end of a seemingly ordinary invitation.
