Cast Announcement for Simon Woods' Debut THE WORST
24.02.2026
Keira Knightley, Alicia Vikander, Jamie Dornan and Erin Kellyman have been cast in Simon Woods' debut feature film, THE WORST.
The film follows socialite Emily Fisher (Vikander) and her husband Max as they invite their equally wealthy friends to their new chateau in France for the night. Amongst the guests are a group of people who can't stand each other: Holly (Knightley), a struggling diversity consultant who continuously clashed with everyone until she gets a migraine, and Danny (Dornan), a quick-witted talent agent that name drops his client list every chance he gets. As the evening begins to unravel and dark secrets are revealed, waitress, Niamh (Kellyman) finds herself right in the middle of their chaos. The dark, British comedy has been described as "wickedly entertaining" and "full of twists and turns".
THE WORST is written by Simon Woods and will be produced by Andy Berg and John Sachs of Eclipse Films, alongside Josh Hyams from Promise Pictures.
