Julia Roberts and Elizabeth Olsen Star in Panic Carefully

Director Sam Esmail is set to reunite with Julia Roberts for a new thriller titled 'Panic Carefully,' which will also feature Elizabeth Olsen. The film, described as a paranoid thriller reminiscent of Esmail's acclaimed series 'Mr. Robot' and 'The Silence of the Lambs,' is currently under wraps regarding plot details. After a competitive bidding war, Warner Bros. secured the project, emphasizing their commitment to a theatrical release, with filming scheduled to begin in January 2025 in England. This collaboration follows the success of Esmail and Roberts' previous project, 'Leave the World Behind,' which became Netflix's fifth most popular English-language film with over 143 million views. Producers include Esmail, Roberts, and others, as they aim for a significant theatrical presence with 'Panic Carefully.' Olsen's recent credits include roles in 'His Three Daughters' and 'WandaVision,' further solidifying her as a prominent figure in the film industry.
