Hollywood is bringing some serious star power to San Francisco this week, with Seth Rogen and Olivia Wilde filming their new comedy “The Invite” across multiple city locations.

The production has been creating quite a buzz, transforming beloved local spots like the Make-Out Room in the Mission District and Glen Park BART Station into movie sets. According to industry reports, the film is a “date night comedy” that explores complex relationship dynamics when a couple invites their neighbors over for an evening that quickly becomes unexpectedly intense.

Locals have been catching glimpses of the film’s production, with sightings of the stars at various San Francisco locations including AP Giannini Middle School and public transit. The movie seems to be utilizing authentic city backdrops, giving the project a genuine San Francisco feel.

The film, which also reportedly stars Edward Norton and Penélope Cruz, has taken over significant portions of the neighborhood, blocking off parking and setting up extensive technical equipment along 22nd Street and Bartlett Street. Local businesses like Pasta Supply Co are already experiencing the ripple effects of Hollywood’s presence.

While details about the film’s plot remain somewhat mysterious, industry publication Variety describes it as an exploration of “deeply repressed emotions and unexplored sexuality” - suggesting this isn’t your typical light-hearted comedy.

As the production continues, San Francisco residents can expect continued disruptions and exciting potential celebrity sightings. The movie currently doesn’t have a confirmed release date, leaving fans and locals curious about what cinematic surprises “The Invite” might bring.
