Wizards! is an upcoming stoner comedy film written and directed by David Michôd and starring Pete Davidson, Franz Rogowski, Naomi Scott, Sean Harris, and Orlando Bloom.[1]

Premise

Two hapless, consistently stoned beach-bar operators (Davidson, Rogowski) stumble across stolen loot that was better off untouched.[2]

Cast

Production

In May 2022, it was announced that Davidson, Rogowski, Scott, and Harris were cast in the film.[9] In June that same year, it was announced that Bloom was added to the cast.[10]

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.[11]
