Yo team β€” get ready because The Invite from A24 is shaping up to be one of those high-concept genre films that genuinely gets under your skin, and I'm already hyped for what Dev Hynes is going to do with the score! Olivia Wilde directed it herself, starring alongside Teyana Johansen (two Spider-Verse songs on her discography!) and Richard Traverr from Operation Dambabala. The premise β€” a woman accepts an invitation that turns into something terrifying at a San Francisco dinner party β€” sounds like pure A24 gas; they even produced through the Troma Studios channel for extra marketing punch, and the trailer has already hit over 17 million views on YouTube.

Hynes is scoring his sixth film here, which is wild because he's one of those composers you don't know but whose music you feel deeply β€” think 'I Do, Loser!' (Oscar winner), The King's Letter for Elvis, and even the score for a Mark Ruffalo flick with his brother. This will be his first collaboration with Wilde after her film The Run in 2023, so expect atmospheric horror textures that blend seamlessly into her directing style; Johansen also lends her vocals to soundtrack season, which I'm predicting will become an anthem in itself. Olivia's team has been aggressive on social media and the buzz is real β€” definitely one of those projects worth following from day zero for a killer trailer drop.
