The duo also weighed in on how important such films are because they provide the audience a sense of relief that they are not the only ones, all while having a good laugh.<span class=\"id-r-component br\" data-pos=\"9\"\/>While sitting down with The Guardian, the duo opened up about the comfort they felt while filming the project. Norton added, \u201cThere was a lot of pre-existing comfort and trust,\u201d further sharing that they had all worked with one another before and were well aware of how the other actor was on set. <!-- -->\u201cIt would never, ever have had that arc if it had been shot out of sequence. We would have been much more cautious. It had a really profound effect on the way the story layered up toward its finale\u201d, he also shared about working on the film.<span class=\"id-r-component br\" data-pos=\"14\"\/>Wilde added that she shares the same feelings, admitting, \u201cI feel both thrilled and ruined by this experience, because I don\u2019t know when I can possibly expect to have another one like this. To have a group of people so in sync. I do have that feeling that if I never made anything else, I\u2019d be OK.\u201d<span class=\"id-r-component br\" data-pos=\"18\"\/><\/p>\n<p><h2>Olivia Wilde and Edward Norton talk about how the audience reacted to the film<\/h2>\n<\/p>\n<p>During the interview, the two stars also opened up about the reactions they heard from the crowd while watching the film. Norton shared, \u201cPeople are almost tearful. They\u2019re like: \u2018I haven\u2019t had a good, adult laugh that made me feel seen in a long time.\u2019\u201d<span class=\"id-r-component br\" data-pos=\"21\"\/>Wilde, on the other hand, shared that, \u201cMy favourite audience laugh is that which seems to say: \u2018I thought I was the only one!\u2019 It\u2019s like ha-ha-ha-aaah; a little bit of a moan. <!-- -->When you hear yourself laugh at something that feels revealing, and then someone else does so too, the quiet shame you felt is immediately relieved.\u201d<span class=\"id-r-component br\" data-pos=\"25\"\/><\/p>\n<p><h2>Plot of \u2018The Invite\u2019<\/h2>\n<\/p>\n<p>The marital comedy follows the life of a married couple who have been together for a long time. Joe and Angela are going through a lot of issues in life, and when Angela plans a surprise party for their bohemian neighbours, things take quite a turn for everyone present. The official synopsis reads, \u201cJoe and Angela&#8217;s marriage is on thin ice. <!-- -->When they invite their enigmatic upstairs neighbours for a dinner party, the night spirals into unexpected places.<!-- --> Have they reignited the spark or lit the match that burns it all down?\u201d<span class=\"id-r-component br\" data-pos=\"31\"\/>In addition to Edward Norton and Olivia Wilde, the film also stars <a href=\"https:\/\/timesofindia.indiatimes.com\/topic\/seth-rogen\" styleobj=\"[object Object]\" class=\"\" commonstate=\"[object Object]\" frmappuse=\"1\">Seth Rogen<\/a> and Pen\u00e9lope Cruz in the leading roles. The film is a remake of a popular Spanish film, \u2018The People Upstairs,\u2019 which was an adaptation of Cesc Gay&#8217;s stage play \u2018Els ve\u00efns de dalt.\u2019 \u2018The Invite\u2019 was directed by Olivia Wilde, while Will McCormack and Rashida Jones worked on the screenplay.
