“We only get a few chances for meaningful relationships in life.” A24 has debuted a second trailer for The Invite, an amusing comedy-drama directed by actress Olivia Wilde –her third film after Booksmart and Don’t Worry Darling. This originally premiered at the 2026 Sundance Film Festival earlier this year where it picked up some rave reviews (here’s mine). It’s a comedy but it’s also more of a dramedy once it really gets into things and they start honestly discussing relationships & sex and what works & what doesn’t. Joe and Angela’s marriage is on thin ice. When they invite their enigmatic upstairs neighbors for a dinner party, the night spirals into unexpected places. Set entirely in one apartment it follows these two couples through a night they’ll both never forget. Starring Seth Rogen & Olivia Wilde as Joe & Angela and Penélope Cruz & Edward Norton as Pína & Hawk. Opening in theaters this June to start with a wide release in July. I’m a fan of this film – it’s smart and entertaining and fascinating and these four lead performances are excellent.
Here’s the second official trailer (+ poster) for Olivia Wilde’s film The Invite, direct from A24’s YouTube:
