Premise

Two hapless, consistently stoned beach-bar operators stumble across stolen loot.[1][2]

Cast

Production

The screenplay of Wizards! was written by David Michôd, and based on a story by Michôd and Joel Edgerton. It is produced by Dede Gardner and Jeremy Kleiner under the Plan B Entertainment label and Liz Watts of See-Saw Films's Australian office.[2]

In May 2022, it was announced that Pete Davidson, Franz Rogowski, Naomi Scott, and Sean Harris were cast in the film.[10] In June that same year, it was announced that Orlando Bloom was added to the cast.[11]

The film was shot in Cairns, Queensland, and Cape Tribulation (at Cape Tribulation Resort & Spa) for approximately five weeks, wrapping in August 2022. The production brought approximately 100 jobs and three times as many roles for extras, working with Indigenous women in the area.[2]

Release

Wizards! was expected to be released in 2023.[2] However, at the end of 2023, it was announced that Michôd and A24 were editing a new version of the film. In July 2025, Michôd and Watts were unable to announce a release date.[12]
