Elizabeth Olsen Teams Up with Julia Roberts in Movie "Panic Carefully"

Elizabeth Olsen is teaming up with Julia Roberts in Warner Bros.‘ thriller movie "Panic Carefully".

Sam Esmail is set to direct from his own script, with the studio landing the package in February.

Esmail will produce with Chad Hamilton for Email Corp., alongside Roberts, Scott Stuber, Marisa Yeres Gill, and Lisa Gillan.

"Panic Carefully" is described as a paranoid thriller reminiscent of "Silence of the Lambs" and Esmail’s Emmy-winning USA Network series "Mr. Robot".

Kevin McCormick and Chrystal Li will oversee it for Warner Bros.

Esmail’s most recent feature was the 2023 Netflix thriller "Leave the World Behind", in which Roberts starred alongside Mahershala Ali, Ethan Hawke and Myha’la. 

Olsen starred earlier this year in the Netflix drama "His Three Daughters" and plays the lead in director Fleur Fortuné’s sci-fi thriller "The Assessment", which premiered at the Toronto International Film Festival.

She is set to voice her Marvel Cinematic Universe character Scarlet Witch in Disney+’s forthcoming animated series Marvel "Zombies".

Roberts’ recent credits including starring in "Ticket to Paradise" alongside George Clooney.

Earlier this year, she filmed a starring role opposite Andrew Garfield in Luca Guadagnino’s thriller "After the Hunt".
