Just a year ago, Mr. Robot Creator Sam Esmail encouraged us all to do this Leave the world behind you with his noodle-twisting, apocalyptic Netflix thriller of the same name. However, Esmail apparently forgot to make a very specific exception to this policy – that’s how it should have been Leave the world behind (but not Julia Roberts). “How come?” We hear you cry. Well, because, per deadline‘s reporting, the LTWB The leading actress is reteaming with Esmail for Warner Bros.’ new thriller Panic carefully. And besides, he just went and got the Scarlet Witch herself, Elizabeth Olsen, to come along.

Directed by Esmail based on a script he wrote himself, details of the plot Panic carefully remain silent for the time being. However, according to deadlinethe expectation is that the film will be a Mr. Robot Stylish paranoid thriller based on Jonathan Demme’s classic The Silence of the Lambs also serves as a sonic reference point. And while that’s admittedly not much at this point, the fact that the project sparked a heated bidding war earlier this year – a bidding war that was even won with the promise of a theatrical release – suggests that Warner Bros. are confident that they have something on their hands that belongs on the big screen.

For Roberts, Panic carefully joins Luca Guadagninos After the hunt as the second suspense thriller in the Oscar winner’s pipeline, while for Olsen – who we last saw in Azazel Jacobs’ tender Netflix drama His three daughters – The project will represent another change of pace for the actress in her post-MCU career – or at least seemingly post-MCU career (you just can never tell with Kevin Feige and Co.). For us, it is so confrontingly contradictory to see these names under one title Panic carefully is enough to let us sell unseen. And until we hear more, remember: Don’t panic – panic carefully.
