Edward Norton used the UK Special Screening for The Invite to look back on his relationship with Seth Rogen and the way that partnership has played out across two films. The appearance also tied the discussion to The Invite’s UK release date, giving the screening a sharper business edge than a routine publicity stop.
Seth Rogen and Olivia Wilde
At the UK Special Screening for The Invite, Norton said the two films he has starred in with Rogen share an obvious similarity. He also praised Olivia Wilde as a director, which places the screening in the middle of the film’s promotional run rather than as a loose retrospective on his career.
Fight Club and launch failure
Norton also looked back on Fight Club’s failure at launch. That contrast gives the comments their bite: one of his earlier films stumbled when it first arrived, while his latest remarks come attached to a title that is still moving toward release in the UK.
The Invite will be released in the UK on 3 July 2026, and the screening has already done part of the job a publicity stop is supposed to do. It turns the film into a conversation about Norton’s working relationship with Rogen, Wilde’s direction, and the long tail of Fight Club rather than leaving it as a simple title announcement.
