Eddie Redmayne Teams Up with Julia Roberts in Movie "Panic Carefully"

Eddie Redmayne is teaming up with Julia Roberts in the Warner Bros. thriller "Panic Carefully".

Elizabeth Olsen is also on board with Sam Esmail directing. Esmail also penned the script.

The film’s logline is being kept under wraps, but it is described as a paranoid thriller in the vein of Esmail’s Emmy and Golden Globe winner "Mr. Robot" and "The Silence of the Lambs".

The project went out to assorted studios and streamers near the top of this year, with Warner Bros prevailing in a heated bidding war, in part due to its commitment to a theatrical run.

"Panic Carefully" reunites Esmail with Roberts following "Leave the World Behind", their hugely popular apocalyptic thriller, based on the 2020 novel by Rumaan Alam, which premiered on Netflix in November 2023 and stands as the streamer’s fifth most popular English-language film of all time, with 143.4 million views.

Producers on "Panic Carefully" include Esmail and Chad Hamilton for Email Corp., along with Scott Stuber, Roberts, Marisa Yeres Gill, and Lisa Gillan.

Kevin McCormick and Chrystal Li are overseeing the project for Warner Bros.

Principal photography is expected to kick off in England in January.

Redmayne can currently be seen starring on the Peacock series, "Day of the Jackal" opposite Lashana Lynch.

It has proven to be a hit with critics and audience since its debut in November and ranked no. 1 on Peacock’s top 10 TV shows and just earned Redmayne a Golden Globe nomination.
