It was announced in March 2021 that a remake of the 2020 Spanish film The People Upstairs (Sentimental[1]) was in development from producer David Permut.[2] In March 2022, Jonathan Dayton and Valerie Faris were hired to direct the film, with Rashida Jones and Will McCormack set to write the screenplay.[3] In May 2023, retitled The Invite, Amy Adams, Paul Rudd and Tessa Thompson were cast to star.[4] Development went dormant until April 2025, when it was announced Olivia Wilde was now directing, with herself, Seth Rogen, Penélope Cruz and Edward Norton cast to star. Filming began in Los Angeles.[5] On May 22, 2025, it was reported that filming took place in San Francisco on Tuesday and Wednesday of that week, specifically at A.P. Giannini Middle School in the Sunset District, a BART train from Glen Park station to Balboa Park station, Make-Out Room nightclub in the Mission District,[1] Castro District Farmers' Market,[6] and Molinari Delicatessen.[7]
