The two star actors recently opened up about their latest release, “The Invite” and their experience. The duo also appreciated the importance of such films because they provide the audience with a sense of relief that they are not the only ones, while still having a good laugh.While sitting down with The Guardian, the duo opened up about the comfort they felt while filming the project. Norton added, “There was a lot of pre-existing comfort and trust,” sharing that they had all worked with each other before and were very aware of how the other actor was on set. “I never, ever would have had that arc if it had been shot out of sequence. We would have been much more cautious. It had a very profound effect on the way the story approached the end,” he also shared about working on the film.Wilde added that she shares the same sentiments, admitting, “I’m excited and devastated by this experience, because I don’t know when I can expect to have another one like this. To have a group of people so in sync. I feel like if I never did anything else, I’d be fine.”

During the interview, the two stars also opened up about the reactions they heard from the crowd while watching the film. Norton shared, “People are almost tearful. They’re like, ‘It’s been a long time since I’ve had a good grown-up laugh that made me feel seen.'”Wilde, meanwhile, shared that, “My favorite laugh from the audience is the one that seems to say, ‘I thought I was the only one!’ It’s like ha-ha-ha-aaah; a little whimper When you find yourself laughing at something you find revealing, and then someone else does too, the quiet embarrassment you felt is immediately relieved.”
